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

Compared to other very respectable coolers I have used in the past, install of this one was very easy. Its also a plus that the metal fan mounts have a better design than similar style coolers and hold the fans on much more firmly.

this cooler is perfect for my 10900k, Temps are at 55-60 under 100% load, if anyone is having problems with Temps with this cooler make sure its tighten to the cpu enough, I didnt have mine tightened enough and it got really hot around 80-90, overall amazing product, would buy again

not as good as a aio liquid cooler but definitely gets the job done and to me it looks 10x better that a aio. but thats my opinion. but it definitely keeps my temps in check.

Después de años con refrigeraciones liquidas decidí pasarme a aire. Leí varias reviews donde ponían al U12A mejor que el D15 incluso con CPUs como el 12900k, como el mio. El resultado es que limitando la CPU a 192w (rinde un 95% como a tope) el disipador consigue mantenerlo a 85 grados con casi nada de ruido. Muy recomendado.

Impecable funcionamiento muy silencioso

Dieser ralativ kompakte Kühler schafft es den Ryzen 7950X in fast allen Situationen weit unter der 95°C-Grenze zu halten. Nur bei Cinebench r23 (multi core) kam er an diese Grenze. Nur wer alle Kerne maximal Stresst, 3D Rendering wie beim Cinebench oder dergleichen betreibt, der solle den Ryzen etwas runterregeln, alle andere müssen nichts weiter tun. -- Ich betone das, weil ich oft lese, dass für den 7950X zwingend eine große Wasserkühlung von Nöten sei. Wasserkühlungen sind mir wegen des möglichen Wasserschadens nicht ganz geheuer. Der Noctua ist zwar genauso teuer wie eine günstige Wasserkühlung, aber wer schon über 600 EUR für einen Prozessor ausgibt, der muss eben auch in einen guten Kühler investieren.

Ive been an avid nhd15 user. No more. I will now be using the u12a for future builds. I just built a 5950x system with a u12a and it keeps it from loosing its cool. Mid 80s when PBO optimized, same as the nhd15 i tried on the same system :) In my mind, its quieter and is not an eye sore in my case blocking the pretty ram that Ive got or causing me to loose skin trying to pull out my video card. As stated before, the temperatures seems like its the same as its bigger counterpart. The only negative thing that I can think of is that I did have a couple of bent fins but they were easily bent back into shape.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: I wish I could say equally good things about the quality control of this cooler as I do about its performance to noise ratio, installation, compatibility, looks, and long-term mounting kit upgrade prospects. Disappointing to say the least, especially for Noctuas premium prices.

I bought this as a replacement of a failed AIO cooler in my computer. I have used multiple Noctua air coolers and they are all built like tanks. They are easy to install and I have to admit my computer is far quieter with an air cooler than I ever was with the AIO.

its good
