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

El disipador es excelente, buen tamaño y en color negro se ve mejor

Title says it all. This tiny thing beats both the 360mm Kraken and H150i that I had on my 13900K AND it simplifies my build by requiring no software.

In the midst of a new i9-13900K custom loop build, I ordered the Noctua cooler to test the CPU and other PC components until the water-cooling hardware arrives. Its an amazing air cooler and super quiet. It idles ~37 degrees (stock clock) and hits mid to high 60s under bench loads. I also installed the Noctua NA-HC8 Chromax Heatsink Cover, which gives it a very clean look. Hope this helps!

Great upgrade from a tried and true product (NH U12S). Stealthy look is cool but for me I was sick of the ugly brown OG fans from my original NH U12S. Heat sink is larger (thicker) and the fans have an improved blade design. I havent stress tested it to see the performance compared to the OG NH U12S, but a 10% CPU OC on an old FX 8350 is no problem.

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

I ordered this cooler based upon PCPartsPickers compatibility recomendation for the Asus ROG STRIX Z690-A Gaming WiFi D4 motherboard. But when I checked on the Noctua Compatibility Centre site, I discovered that it is NOT compatible with this motherboard. So, I returned it and ordered a Noctua cooler that IS compatible: the Noctua NH-D12L.

At first I was going to do an AIO route for this second build and decided on the Noctua NH-U12A Chroma.Black for the simplicity and quiet operation to cool down my Ryzen 7 5800X.

The Stock Cooler on an Intel i7-8700 was not cutting it when pushed hard. When importing point cloud scan data the CPU would constantly hit thermal limits at 99-100c hindering performance and putting the hardware in a dangerous temp zone. The U12A keeps an average temp of 62c with individual core peeks at 78c during extended 100% cpu utilization. CPU performance now remains consistent and no more loud fan noise ramping up and down. Good investment to prolong the useful life of my existing hardware. The Cooler, Fans & contents of installation kit are exceptional and well worth the money.

As long as your case has decent airflow, this cooler is so nice. Its quieter than my old Corsair AIO and cools about the same. Had to replace the AIO due to a dying pump. I run with a 5800x and get good temps.

Stop. Just stop and get it. Ran an AIO for more than a year for aesthetic and cooling purposes until the pump whine became too much.
