Noctua NH-U12A chromax.Black, 120mm Single-Tower CPU Cooler (Black)

This replaced an Enermax AIO for my 12900K that failed 6 months after purchase. CPU temps were reaching 100C at idle and was throttling back to prevent damage. Ordered this and it came overnight. I installed it immediately, fired it up, and idle CPU temps are now 10c above ambient. Full usage during gaming is running mid 50c. This thing is every bit as good as the professional reviews say it is. I should have stuck with my instincts when I first built my new rig but wanted to try something different with an AIO. Hard to beat Noctua.

11/10

ハズレを引いたのかもしれませんが、ヒートスプレッタが、かなりヤバいぐらい歪んでます。巷で噂のLGA1700のCPU反る問題では丁度良いかもしれませんが、反らないCPUでは真ん中しか当たらずアイドリングで50度超えます。

Admittedly Im a Noctua fan, no pun intended. Installed easy on new z690 build. Intel 12600k running mid 20s at idle in a CM h500 case. Kinda liked the the Brown / beige as a statement thing, but went black. 2 things you should never go cheap on is power and cooling. You wont be sorry.

This out preforms my NZXT Kraken. Really quiet and no water inside my computer.

I purchased this after my water cooler failed. It was easy to install and cools just as good as the water cooler did and will be much more reliable

macht was es soll. CPU Temperatur bei mäßiger Belastung unter 40 °C. Hohe Belastung noch nicht getestet.

Qué decir de ésta bestia. Construcción excelente, cero ruido y buena disipación.

When youre looking for a CPU cooler that peforms as well as, if not better than an AIO water cooling solution when properly installed then look no further. Noctua is the king of the road when it comes to fans and PC cooling devices in my humble opinion and this cooler is no exception. Installation was easy since this was a brand new build. The kit came with everything you need for almost any modern CPU socket/form factor. Noctua thermal compound and a batch of other accessories make for a thoughtful touch and its much appreciated. The system barely got warm running a series of full system stress testing during my burn-in cycle. Overall Ive always been and still continue to be a fan of Noctua products. Its nice to see a company take pride in its work..

I was looking forward to giving this product a good review. The main cooler unit was impressive and easy to install. But, the two fans that attach to the sides came with the most ridiculously unusable clips. Why does Noctua believe that a product costing such a premium should deserve such cheaply produced clips? Neither clips would attach to the main unit with enough force to remain in place. I ended up sending this back for a refund and buying a Lian-Li Galahad 360 AIO instead.
