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

When it comes to air cooling a CPU there is no better choice than noctua. The product arrived in perfect condition and is very visually appealing. Mounting was easy and the product quality was typical noctua - excellent. Im running a ryzen 7 5800x and cinebench r23 multi core peaked at 69 degrees celsius in a Lian li Lancool 2 mesh case. Also - I had the nh-d15s before and found that mounting the nh-u12a and installing the fans were much easier.

So, the first case and build I bought this for, it didnt fit. This wouldnt be an issue with the cooler itself, but just the design of my ITX motherboard. If you have an Z690-I motherboard, this cooler will not fit. Just adding this to let other people know.

I installed this cooler in a new computer build in April of 2022. I made sure to buy the black one since I didnt want the brown one in my completely no-windows case. Because reasons. Mostly, I didnt want to see brown fans every time I opened the case to clean it. Based on other reviews, Im not the only person who feels this way. I digress. The install was straightforward (although there are quite a number of steps compared to the old snap on coolers). Once inside the case, the cooler is whisper quiet and takes good care of my i7-12700K processor, even under load. A few things to note:

Noctua NH-U12A chromax.Black, Dissipatore a Torre Singola per CPU (120 mm, Nero), perfetto sotto ogni punto di vista!!

Initially had gotten a unit that was broken through shipping. Luckily had gotten a replacement for it and have been fairly happy about it. There were still a few bent fins but, not hard bending them back and was only a couple of them.

Dropped my i7-12700 CPU temps by 10C at idle and 15-20 C under heavy benchmark loading. Great quality and fans run quietly.

Bonne alternative à mon AIO dont la pompe ma lâchée au bout de 3 ans et pas de soucis de remise à niveau du liquide de refroidissement avec les refroidissements à air. Se monte très facilement dans une config déjà montée.

I am going to be using this product in my PC build.

I choose Noctua for its Premium Look, easy installation and support for new socket even though theres ton of air cooler out there for cheapest price. Also, its hard to get one here in the Philippines as almost stores here are out of stock for this model. Thanks Noctua!

cumple con lo prometido. bajo 10 grados al I7 12700K. Lo unico malo es su precio.
