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

Removed my Corsair H100i AIO liquid cooler in favour of this system - on my 5600X, the temperatures under load were tyically in the 60s to early 70s, matching, if not beating my previous system. Well done to Noctua for this, going to keep it for years and years to come. Only issue is that its quite pricey.

I opened the box and could not help but laugh at the size, this thing is huge and must weigh over a pound . My first thought was that it was comically large. In the pictures you can see it sitting on the CPU, and it size compared to the I/O plate of the mother board, the second pic is it sitting next to the stock AMD Cooler that came with my Ryzen 5700G. The instructions recommend you take off the cooler before transporting it because you dont want that weight bouncing around while attached to the MB. Its big.

みんな大好きこてっちゃんから乗り換えました。まともな値段のタイミングで買えてよかった…！

My i7-12700k wont go over 75C stock

Great cooler for anyone looking for something simple and easy to install. Keeps my 5900x idling at 35-45c reaching a max of 75c under 100% usage. The Noctua fans that this cooler comes with are so quiet at 100% power that I can only notice they make sound if I turn my corsair case fans off to listen, and thats without the included noise reducing cables. Highly recommend this over an AIO. I’m giving it 4 stars because of the lack of color options for the fans, and that the $20 chromax magnetic cover for the heat sink is a separate purchase when I feel it should be included in the already expensive price.

Best temps I have had for gaming on i7-13700k, benchmarking is a different story . Get this cpu cooler you won’t be disappointed

Late to review, but after almost a year of use it has been perfect. Quiet and cools great. The 7 heat pipe construction can handle very high TDP CPUs. I picked this over the legendary NH-D15 because it is quicker to source a replacement 120mm square fan and the form factor. You can also experiment with other competitors 120mm fans.

Du fait des performances du cooler il est très aisé de faire la courbe pwm des ventilo souhaitée (performance - silence). Un conseil, n’utilisez pas les adaptateurs LNA vous pouvez simplement sélectionner la vitesse des ventilos dans le menu carte mère par exemple

Top. Hält was er verspricht und kaum hörbar

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.
