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

I know its been a few months since I installed this Bad Boy. Im very impressed with this air cooled fan. & Its Very Very Quiet. Only issue i have is that now I cant close the side panel, because the fan it self sticks out about a quarter inch (1/4). But its OK. I got rid of the originally Noisy fan that this ROG G15CE came with. My gaming rig wouldnt restart before because it was getting too HOT. System was overheating bad. About 85+ Degrees. My RTX3080 was getting too hot also. Now its stable at about 40-50 degrees while playing battlefield or diablo (for hours). I Love it. We got a winner here. Thank you Noctua. :) A+

trying to cool a 5800x3d. I switched to this from a 40$ NZXT tower cooler thts 5 heat pipes with one fan push. (get 42c-74c)

There is an almost unbearable harmonic beating tone produced at almost every fan RPM level regardless of whether the LNAs are used. Certain PWM percentages are worse than others where the oscillation of the tone becomes intense and fast, but its never anything that can be escaped from entirely. Really disappointed as I quite like the fans themselves, I think Noctua needs to resolve how its fans negatively interact with heatsinks.

It is amazing, it’s not noticeable to me sound wise, looks great, and my CPU has been very cool never reaching 72+ in 1440p AAA titles

Easy to install used it with an asus Z590E mother board and works well and looks great with this mother board. Also running an intel i7 11700K processor and Corsair Vengeance RGB Memory. This fan clears my memory and really like the black color Very quiet at lower speed gets a little loud when running fans at high speed but is doing a great job of keeping things cool. The cooler is a little pricey but very happy and will be installing in second computer build. Using an old Corsair 200T case and clears the side window just fine. Radiator is much thicker than the Noctua NH-U12S and Noctua NH-U12S sat right up to my ram so returned it. Would highly recommend the Noctua NH-U12A Looks nice with my RGB fans and clears ram with heat spreaders and clears side window by about an 1.5 inches!!! Hope this helps.

Da ich kein Fan von Aios und Wasserkühlungen bin habe ich für meinen I5-12600k diesen Lüfter verbaut und bin begeistert , probierts aus und ihr werdet keine Aios mehr benötigen.

Comes with everything you need and great instructions!

Purchase this size if you are looking to build a mini-atx computer. I put this into the fractal design define 7 nano case (w/ i5 12600K) and it fits perfectly. Anything bigger MIGHT clear but this is the perfect size with equally excellent cooling capacity.

This was a perfect fit for my case and it’s a phenomenal cooler—temps are absolutely wonderful (though the fact that I have it in a Lian Li O11 Air Mini synergizes well with an air cooler may factor into that) but as for the noise level? What noise?

I 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.
