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

I looked for alternatives but decided to bite the bullet and go for an all black , needlessly over expensive Noctua for my 12600K. Ive not OCed the CPU and it runs at 32C+ with light work load, 63C - 72C gaming and 28C idle. I have no issues with build quality , noise , instructions and the mounting system Im just pissed at having to pay $30 more for non-puke brown so 4/5 stars.

I have always used noctua products. Typically a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for. The same applies to this cooler. Keeps my OCed 13600k @ 5.5ghz all clocks to around 65c while gaming, and around 35-40c while idle.

I am using this NH-U12A with a i9 12900k CPU and in a Fractal Torrent case which is a match made in heaven for an air-cooled system. This comes with the socket 1700 kit and installation is simple with great instructions.

Después de años con refrigeraciones liquidas decidí pasarme a aire. Leí varias reviews donde ponían al U12A mejor que el D15 incluso con CPUs como el 12900k, como el mio. El resultado es que limitando la CPU a 192w (rinde un 95% como a tope) el disipador consigue mantenerlo a 85 grados con casi nada de ruido. Muy recomendado.

Used on a i9 12900k Build NZXT 510 Case . I was worried this would not cool the processor and i would need liquid cooling or the D15 . But this cooler is a beast . Silent as hell . Also in Black .

As title, there is not enough room for 2 memory sticks on the motherboard if you want to keep both the fans on; U12S might be a better option

Was baught for Ryzen 7900X, but top CPUs of the 7000 series of AMD is too HOT for this cooler. 95C thermal limit after 3-4 seconds at full load, but frequencies holds around 5,2 GHz - a little bit closer to factory 5,3GHz, but not anough . I recommend NH-D15 or AIO.

Initially I was disspointed because this appeared to not work better for me compared to a Noctua NH-U12S with one extra NF-F12 fan added for push-pull configuration. In time however I got to appreciate this cooler and what a good job it does keeping my i9-10900K super cool in all situations. Compact, does not block any RAM slots and super quiet.

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.

super ventirad, très facile a installer refroidis mon processeur 12700k sans problème sans overclocking sinon passer avec un watercooling pour un overclock. je recommande sans hésitation ce ventirad
