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

Amazing product, dont look anything else if you have a budget, just go for it.

Jamás esperaba tanta calidad a este nivel, el sonido es imperceptible, no se escucha nada. Y me ha bajado la temperatura en pleno Julio la CPU 15 grados respecto al sistema de refrigeración que tenía!

Der Noctua ersetzt bei mir einen in die Jahre gekommenen Scythe Mugen 2, welcher auch schon ein ganz ordentlicher Kühler ist.

A pesar de los problemas con el envío, el producto es increíble. Baja la temperatura unos 5 grados de CPU y GPU, en comparación con mi anterior EVO212, no es gran cosa pero mi equipo a full la GPU no supera ahora los 60 en ningún momento y la CPU con OC sobre 55, y sin achuchar a los fans.

My Ryzen 5 5600x was consistently hitting 90-degree temps on AMDs stock cooler, even in undemanding games. But with this beefy Noctua cooler, I havent seen so much as a peak into 75 degrees, even on my most CPU-intensive titles. So it does its job beautifully, and its incredibly quiet to boot (even without the noise reducing add-ons). But I cant give this cooler the 5 stars it should otherwise deserve because of the absolutely abysmal fan-mounting solution. You get two 120mm fans that attach to the heat sink with incredibly flimsy aluminum brackets, such that when the case is stood up and the cooler is now parallel to the ground, the fans sag and actually hang about half an inch below the bottom of the heat sink. I imagine it has only a marginal affect on the cooling, but it looks and feels incredibly sloppy, especially for a $120 cooler.

(PLEASE SEE MY EDIT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE REVIEW) Like most, I decided on this particular Noctua model because it offers excellent cooling in a relatively small form factor. This is my first proper air cooler.

For the size I was blown away by how well this cooler works. This keeps my 5900x cool under load and makes barely any sound at all. I am very happy that I chose this over an AIO which I have had issues with in the past.

This thing is great. If youre at all familiar with performance air coolers, this one will pleasantly surprise you on how efficient is it to install. Attach the backplate behind the mobo, and fasten it with front thumb screws. Take the fans off the cooler (extremely user friendly fan attachment btw), plop on your thermal paste, and put the heat sink on. tighten the two spring loaded screws even as you clamp down till its seating firmly. Reattach the fans. Oh your memory is tall and close to the CPU socket? No problem, just attach that fan a little higher to clear your ram sticks. wolah, done.

Sono passato dal stock cooler di amd ryzen 5 1600. Lo stavo aspettando da un anno e devo dire che è valsa la pena.

Easy to install with clear instructions.
