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

Quality is top notch. Mounting was very easy. Cools my AMD 3900x better than my old water cooler. Fans are quiet. Support at Noctua was prompt and polite when I had a question.

Ok noctua non sarà esteticamente bellissima, cè a chi piace e chi non piace, però una cosa va detta: questo è il miglior dissipatore ad aria al momento in commercio. E fuori questione. Per chi magari non ha spazio per un radiatore frontale o superiore e vuole optare per un dissipatore ad aria io assolutamente consiglio questo modello. Silenziosissimo, le ventole valgono 30 euro luna e sono 2 in dotazione, nella scatola cè anche la pasta termica Noctua + tutti gli strumenti per il montaggio. E un affare. Facilissimo da montare. Mantengo in idle il processore a 28 gradi a 1400 circa rpm, in stress test intel sono arrivato a 57 gradi e 1700 rpm solo perchè ho montato il Low Noise Adaptors (LNA), che per lappunto limita gli rpm massimi a 1700, dato che il massimo è 2000 rpm (sarei potuto andare anche più giù in temperature). Batte a mani basse il 90% dei dissipatori a liquido sul mercato. Bisogna controllare prima dellacquisto che ci sia compatibilità col vostro case.

Smaller then my old NH-D15, with about the same proformance.

I cancelled the order to buy the NH-D15 Chromax Black instead, but Ive seen good reviews of this product, what do you expect? Its Noctua, go ahead, they know what theyre doing!

works great on a 5800x after some voltage tweaks :)

The fins are supposed to be soldered to help with heat transfer correct? Well, the dude/gal assembling them, bent the last three and f-ed up on the correct positioning, theres an uneven spacing between the last solder points, and the fins are bent because of this, no clue how it got past quality control as well but here we are

I cant believe that this baby could perform better than AIOs. After spending so much money on water cooling system for some years there is finally an alternative that matches and exceeds AIO systems without risk of failure. It can be installed on mini itx motherboards with ram clearance.

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.

This thing runs my 5900X and 5600X amazingly cool. I came here from the scythe mugen 5 and boy does it make a difference. I dont think its just the fans either. The actual design on the cooler makes a huge difference. I used the NF-A12x25 fans on my mugen 5 and it did help but still felt like it wasnt adequate. However, on the u12A it feels like its been so optimized. I might officially be a noctua fanboy now.

Sistema di raffreddamento ad aria molto silenzioso. Potrebbero migliorare lo stile proponendo vari colori.
