Noctua NH-U12A chromax.Black, 120mm Single-Tower CPU Cooler (Black)

Admittedly Im a Noctua fan, no pun intended. Installed easy on new z690 build. Intel 12600k running mid 20s at idle in a CM h500 case. Kinda liked the the Brown / beige as a statement thing, but went black. 2 things you should never go cheap on is power and cooling. You wont be sorry.

In my build I wanted an all air cooling setup with a little breathing room between the GPU and CPU cooler. This meant no D15. Ive been VERY happy with the U12A cooling my 12700k and even if I set the PL1 to 190w constant, I dont break 85c. With Intel standard 125w/190w power limits, it generally doesnt pass 70-75C in Cinebench and the fans dont go over 1600rpm.

Works like a charm, keeps cpu temps nice and cool, and was so effortlessly installed. A great choice for an Air Cooler!

Die Lüfter sind unfassbar leise, selbst bei über 1500rpm ist nur ein leises Rauschen zu hören.

I run my PC all day for and then game at night. This cooler exceeds all expectations in keeping my 12700K CPU temperatures low. I idle between 21 and 25 degrees, which is a couple degrees above ambient temperature, and Ive never pushed the cpu temp past 42 even while gaming in 4k. I also have a full case of Lian Li V2s circulating air. I got the heat sink cover for it which was sold separately. Overall, Im super impressed with the performance of this air cooler.

I liked this cooler even if it was always going to be temporary. Just make sure it fits your case because mine was a few millimeters short so I couldnt close up my case and had to return it. Seemed to perform well cooling a 12900K though so in all its a good one.

Plus cher que le modèle supérieur mais permet de ne pas avoir de soucis avec les barrettes mémoire.

Funciona muy bien, montado en 5900x. Ventiladores al 50% fijos, yo al menos no escucho los ventiladores a no ser que me acerque, instalado en una caja tipo openframe thermaltake p30.

Ottimo prodotto, ben costruito, solido ed efficiente. Abbastanza facile da montare se visibile il retro della scheda madre. Molto silenzioso

It is ridiculously quiet, I do not hear the fans at all. It was larger than I thought it would be, that is my fault for not reading the measurements. Make sure you pay attention to where your memory slots are on your board. This now covers two slots on mine but that is OK as I went with x32 GB for 64 GB which is more than enough for what this computer build is meant to do.
