> 3 dayI picked this up to replace a msi coreliquid aio that failed on me after only 3 weeks. With that being the 2nd aio to bite it for me I decided to give air cooling a try and read a ton of good reviews about the u12a, and boy did it live up to them.

> 3 dayAmazing cooling. Even on Intels hottest processor the12900KS it does a good job under full CPU load. Noise level is silent except when CPU cores are all going under heavy load. Then you can hear it faintly. I have never had one lock up on the system while running this heat sync.

> 3 dayPurchased 2 units to upgrade an Intel and AMD motherboards from a pair of Deepcool Gammaxx GTE V2. Well, I was impressed with the presentation and boxing but the performance were below expectations. The idle was in the upper 40c compared to the Deepcool on the Intel MB which kept it steady in the lower 30s and the high stress test they both were about neck & neck around 70c. Now for the AMD, mid 50s at idle with the Deepcool in the upper 30s. The stress test for both were around the same in the lower 70s. I moved fans , tweaked fans and still no changes. Well, like I mentioned earlier the units looks nice but the price to performance were not! I returned both units and reinstalled the Deepcool units…fighting the power! I’m glad it worked for most, just not for me!

> 3 daythis cooler is perfect for my 10900k, Temps are at 55-60 under 100% load, if anyone is having problems with Temps with this cooler make sure its tighten to the cpu enough, I didnt have mine tightened enough and it got really hot around 80-90, overall amazing product, would buy again

> 3 dayGreat cooler. Nice and quiet. Keeps the temps good as well. Size fits perfectly in a standard ATX case.

> 3 dayI bought this for my 13900k and it would thermal throttle under no stress at all.. I spent 120 dollars for it and 40+ to have it shipped to my country. I feel absolutely ripped off.

> 3 dayThe Noctua NH-U12A makes cooling an i5-12600k look like Childs Play! The average temperature dropped 8-10c on average after installation. The PC is used mostly for games and schoolwork.

> 3 dayPurchased this cooler when the Intel 12th gen chips launched. Ordered it for the i9 12900K, it seemed to work well at first. But when playing games or using any task that made the CPU usage increase, temps dramatically went up. For example, I tried running a Prime95 benchmark only for the chip to overheat and throttle. Upgraded to a Corsair water cooler and have had no heat issues since.

> 3 dayI had doubts about the cooling for the core i7 12700, board msi carbon z690, ddr5 5600 32gb, this was the best option for air, it has no sound, it does not feel, when taking the equipment to workloads the maximum temperature was 65 degrees, very cool, it comes with all the anchors according to your configuration option, I see that I will have it for many years, the design, technology and quality have been there since I received the box.

> 3 dayI bought it as it was the only LGA 1700 compatible cooler I could find. Being a Noctua product I had high expectations for it, and they were definitely met!
