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

For what you pay for this cooler, decent is not the standard when it comes to AM5 7000 series. 7900x to be exact. Im sure if youre running AM4 or last Gen Intel this is a great cooler its probably the best 120mm cooler for the situation. If youre running higher 7000 series CPUs spent that $120 towards a decent 360+mm aio and youll be just fine. I settled with a 420mm AIO, best move I made.

This cooler is extremely quiet and definitely outperforms most of the other coolers out there. I would highly recommend.

So my MSI AIO was failing after about only a year or so. Found out there was a recall on it. Too late to get a new one. Idle temps were in the 70s. Decided to go with just a fan cooler this time. Not sure why, just wanted something different I guess. I have always heard good things about Noctua coolers so figured I would give it a shot. Now my idle temps are in the upper 30s and lower 40s. My room is a little warm, so maybe they would be cooler if the ambient temps were a little lower. But Ill take it. Under load with a few games it never went over 65C. So if you are on the fence, I dont think you will be disappointed.

Excellent ventirad, design sympa et performance au top sur un 12700k.

Hands down the best CPU air cooler design and performance wise. The NH-D15 is a tiny bit better at cooling, but is massive which would work in my setup. After dealing with mounting pressure issues with my 12700K and Asus Z690-A with 2 reputable 240mm liquid coolers, I decided to try this out. Cant ask for a better performance per square inch. This thing keeps my 12700K @5.0 GHz P-cores and 4.0GHz E-cores nice and cool averaging 65C during gaming. Definitely worth the extra cost.

I 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!

Bought an LGA 1700 motherboard and CPU and this cooling system works perfectly for it. Simple installation and maintains great temperatures

good product and good quality

Amazing 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.

Bought this to replace a 1 year old AIO liquid cooler that started overheating for no apparent reason, I decided to go back to air cooling and obviously went for Noctua.
