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

I have this cooling my Ryzen 9 overclocked to 4.3GHz in a Cooler Master NR600 case with 6 fans. During stress testing using all 24 logical cores (12 physical cores) the highest temperature Ive seen on the CPU is 69 degrees. Much more efficient than Id expect from air cooling. Ive never used water cooling, but I imagine this would compete well against most water-cooled systems.

I recently upgraded to an i9-9900k from an i5-9400F and was heavily leaning towards an AIO to ensure enough OC head room for the CPU to hit the high notes if the need ever arises. the 9900k is purported to be very OC friendly and is capable of hitting the high 5Ghz in auto settings with ease without really going past the 30 C mark (so far). Either I got lucky and hit the silicon lottery or Noctuas NHU-S12A cooler is stupidly efficient. Having no prior experience with their product since the 9400F was a fairly efficient CPU that didnt require any insane cooling since it ran reliably well with a Cooler master 212, I wasnt really sure what to compare.

Replaced bs liquid cooler that came with pc. Nocturna was the answer to my cpu i9-9900k heating problem. I highly recommend .

E davvero massiccio e funziona alla grande. comodissime le molle di sgancio rapido delle ventole.

Altissime prestazioni , facile da montare.

Absolut das Geld Wert!!! Mein i7 12700F wird beim Gaming nicht wärmer als 60 Grad (PUBG in wqhd mit 165 FPS). Absoluter Hammer, und dabei ultra leise.

I replace it with one of liquid cooler one and now more satisfied .

12 degrees lower temps compared to a Coolermaster 212. Highly recommended, all with being quieter as well.

montage pour un intel i9-9900KF sans aucun soucis, tout est dans la boite, pate thermique incluse. cest du noctua cest super efficace, ca refroidit extremement bien et silencieux meme si un peu imposant (y a pire) mais ca passe. nhesitez pas si vous le pouvez.

Seriously out performs any AIO I have ever installed into my PC. I get it if you want a cleaner setup with more space. Its subjective. But if you want numbers, This is the way to go. Quiet, Cold. Noctua does it best. Be sure to measure the clearence for your case before installing. Another 5 star for the brown owl.
