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

Title says it all. This tiny thing beats both the 360mm Kraken and H150i that I had on my 13900K AND it simplifies my build by requiring no software.

Keeps my Ryzen 7 5800x cool clocked at 4.0ghz at 100% load. Doesnt hit over 73°c. Best decision I made for my CPU. Works great. Not load at all.

Honestly the fact that there is a single tower cooler with the performance of a dual cooler setup was perfect for me. I have never used Noctua before so I had no expectations. I waited for the Chromax edition of the NH-U12A to become available as I had a specific black and white theme going. Mounting was super easy with instructions, and this particular model came with the universal mounting bracket for 12th get intel boards and CPUs which was awesome. It was also much easier to mount than the CM Hyper 212 Evo which has been my go-to previously. There was just so much less guesswork than you get with the spring mount on that cooler.

性能も見た目も完璧！

It does keep my Ryzen 7 5800x cool even under heavy loads. Max temps have only reached up to 70 C and that is without undervolting.

Ryzen 5700X ran in high 50s C with the original Wraith fan.

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.

Tutto perfetto dal box alle spiegazioni

Its extremely quiet (basically silent when at idle). My intake fan is louder than the two fans running on the air cooler (I put the low noise adapters that came with the cooler because why not). AM4 installation was a breeze for a first time pc builder pleb like myself. Also nice that the cooler came with mounting brackets to fit AM3, AM4, and Intel CPUs.

Have had no problem cooling my Ryzen 7700X CPU with light overclocking enabled. Experimented with ASUS AI overclocking and manual overclocking and it had no issues cooling the CPU with either enabled. Havent seen temps go above 80 degrees no matter what gaming or real world tasks I have done. I really like the fact that it is a realtively smaller dual tower air cooler so doesnt look too massive compared to a NH-D15, but still has excellent performance.
