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

Got this to replace a broken Kraken M22 AIO. Its somehow both quieter than and more efficient than my old AIO. These fans are silent, even without the included low noise adapters, and Ive never seen my CPU (Ryzen 5 5600x) temperature go above 60°C even while playing resource intensive games.

Packaging et produit impecables, installation facile et securisante.

Hierbei stimmt einfach alles. Ich verwende ihn in einem offenen Silverstone SG08. Er kühlt meinen i9 9900k auf Standardtaktrate toll. Bei anspruchsvollen Spieletiteln bleibt der Prozessor angenehm kühl 60-65 °C, unter großer Last (Rendern) verbraucht der Prozessor um die 160 Watt und kommt dabei nicht über 78°C. Im Idle ist er unhörbar, unter hoher CPU-Last leise hörbar. Das Design ist super, durch das goldene Lager in der Mitte wirkt er sehr edel und zusammen mit den braunen Rotorbättern erhalten die Lüfter einen Steampunk-look. Die Lüfterinstallation ist, im Gegensatz zu der beim U9S, mit deutlich weniger Kraftaufwand verbunden und daher angenehm einfach. Trotzdem ist Vorsicht geboten, denn die Lamellen können sich an den Enden bei Unachtsamkeit leicht geringfügig verbiegen und der Kühlkörper ist durch seine Materialeigenschaften anfällig für dauerhaft sichtbare Fingerabdrücke. Deswegen empfehle ich bei der Installation das Tragen von Einweggummihandschuhen.

It was hard as hell to install on my EVGA X299 Dark Motherboard. The 2 bolts on the radiator are too short.

Très bonne fixation du ventirad

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.

Using on a 5800x and it keeps my temps under 60°C while gaming. I went w/ Noctua bc I knew I’d get the cooling performance & quietness. I’m impressed, I replaced an AIO and I’m getting better temps.

Looking for low to no noise and an awesome cooler, get a Noctua cooler. Their website is great if you need to check your cpu for the cooler you are interested in. Included a picture of mine in my machine, it has 120mm fans, may look smaller in the photo as it is a full ATX case and my GPU is huge.

its not loud but you do hear it a little bit, everything except that is perfect, keeping my i7 8700k under 56 degrees celcius
