Noctua NH-U12A, Premium CPU Cooler with High-Performance Quiet NF-A12x25 PWM Fans (120mm, Brown)

Reçu totalement fracassé, avec une simple étiquette collée sur la boîte même du ventilateur, pas de carton, de protection ou autres... Rien.

I own a couple of Noctuas 140mm class CPU coolers. This one cools just as well, is just as quiet and does not interfere with any of my RAM slots. The only thing that would make it even more desirable would be if it came in black.

This is a beastly CPU Cooler. Coupled with a Core i7 10700K, my idle temperatures are anywhere between 28 and 33 degrees Celsius. Also, while under heavy load (especially after performing Intel Stress Tests) my CPU does not exceed 64 degrees Celsius. That has a lot to say there. Im glad that I went with an air cooler instead of liquid cooling system. I hope Noctua can follow up with my request and send me replacement brown anti-vibration corner pads; one of the pads on the fan arrived with a rip.

Il dissipatore è un riferimento per il raffreddamento ad aria. Serve comunque garantire una buona circolazione dellaria nel case.

Wanted to cool my Ryzen 3900x and the Wraith cooler that AMD provides is a noisy beast with 2 heatpipes and cant even keep the temperatures down without waking up the neighbors. Pushed the boat out and opted for the Noctua being one of the most expensive air coolers in the market, but boy is it worth it. Running FAH on 20 cores it hums a bit, but nowhere near the Wraith, and on idle i really have to check whether the fans are on or off.

Fit, finish, and performance is top notch. Its a large cooling kit but it fit in my mid tower case no problem.

Ce ventirad fonctionne très bien : fabrication dexcellente qualité, extrêmement silencieux, très bonne performance de refroidissement sur un Intel Core i7-12700. Le montage est néanmoins un peu délicat en upgrade, car il nécessite de démonter la carte mère pour installer la platine et les vis par le dessous. Point positif : certains articles sur le net mentionnent une incompatibilité avec les cartes Asus. En réalité, parfaitement adapté à ma carte mère Asus ProArt Z690 Creator Wifi. Il aurait été difficile de monter un ventirad plus imposant dans ma configuration, donc meilleur rapport performance/encombrement. Très satisfait du produit.

I have a i9-9900k that was cooled with a 2 fan water cooler. It never did very well. I prefer to keep my full load temps below 70C so i adjust cpu frequency to compensate. I was struggling at 3.9-4.1Ghz with the water cooler so i decided to try this Noctua NH-U12a Air cooler. Wow! I am at 4.7GHz and temps are hovering around 53 to 58C. Now i need to go back into BIOS and raise the limit back to 5Ghz and see how things go but first I want to see a week or so running as is and watch the temps and freq just to really confirm what i am seeing for the last 8 hours

Doesnt look great in an all black glass case, but keeps my CPU happy. They should have made an all black version. Also, the fan clips confused me a little, but there are videos online showing you how to install.

Why does it have to be brown Noctua??? This isnt a winnebago
