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

As expected

I did a lot of research before getting this; my trusty Corsair liquid-cooling system finally dies after 8 years of faithful service, so I needed a CPO cooler ASAP. After watching several YouTube reviews, I decided on the premium 120mm Noctua - and it DELIVERS! I had no idea of how noisy (by comparison) the Corsair was...installation took about 15 minutes (with me taking my time, after removal of the failed Corsair unit) and works like a charm. Virtually silent even in Turbo mode and CPU rarely gets above 37 deg. C. All this AND a 6-year Warranty as well! FANTASTIC!

Fait parfaitement le travail pour lequel il a été conçu !

Noctua ist nun mal der Mercedes unter den CPU Lüftern. Ich habe einige andere Fabrikate ausprobiert, bleibe aber immer wieder bei Noctua hängen.

The current generation of top of the line CPUs run ridiculously hot. Most people are switching to liquid cooling. Air cooling is still preferred by quite a few people so I figured I’d give it a shot. First things first the product worked. It was relatively easy to install and if you’re just looking for utility at a decent price this is a good deal.

Just got a new I7 12700k, and keeping it cool has been a nightmare. I had tried everything, and 2 coolers prior to this one. I was prepared to give up, even after my hard work. Then I bought this. Took my gaming temps from 75 degrees C, to 58-60C. I cannot recommend this enough. The magic is in the large plate, and the large amount of heat pipes compared to a lot of other coolers. Though the 2 strong fans certainly do their part too.

I have this on my Ryzen 5 5600X overclocking at 4.5mHz and my CPU doesnt get over 50C while doing stress tests. For the size of the heatsink and fan Im very impressed with how well it performs.

Its a great brand! its easy to install and I have my I7 9700k overclocked at 4.9hz.

I get a used one.

Has great air flow and cooling... just looks like came straight out of the earth kingdom
