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

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

The chromax u12a loves up to the typical noctua quality you’d expect, which is great. Noctua has the easiest mounting system I’ve used in 20 years of building pcs. I also look it looks great but I also think the ram and brown looks good too.

I run my PC all day for and then game at night. This cooler exceeds all expectations in keeping my 12700K CPU temperatures low. I idle between 21 and 25 degrees, which is a couple degrees above ambient temperature, and Ive never pushed the cpu temp past 42 even while gaming in 4k. I also have a full case of Lian Li V2s circulating air. I got the heat sink cover for it which was sold separately. Overall, Im super impressed with the performance of this air cooler.

Für mich der beste Luftkühler. Höre ihn kaum bis garnicht und mit Headset ehh nicht. Die Leistung ist besser als der Dark Rock Pro 4 den ich vorher hatte, diesen nun aber in einem anderen Rechner verbaut habe aufgrund eines CPU wechsels. Für mich Top!

Ok, so if youve researched you know this is one of the most expensive coolers. With this you really do get what you pay for. Quality construction, silent operation, and great performance. The goal with this latest pc build was use as many used, secondhand, and left over parts as possible. The Noctua was one of the few components purchased new and it was a wise choice. Honestly works better that the old AIO that it replaced. Unlike that leaky AIO, this will last forever, only needing a fan change many many years down the road.

Works like a treat and will never leak or need a new pump. By far the best choice

thisll handle 12900k at stock fine, tested with intel xtu at full load, doesnt thermal throttle. i also set max rpm at 60 percent so its pretty quiet as well. stays around 70 to 80c or less. same temps in both a p600s with minimal fans and a lianli 011d air mini with full fan setup.

While not as flashy as the AMD Wraith Prism, this Fan really lived up to the hype. Reason I upgraded was I was annoyed by the constant throttling of the wraith fan which would keep my AMD Ryzen 9 3900X below 58 C, I just got tired of the constant fan throttling since my case sits on my desk. I tried to adjust the fan curves in BIOS but that didnt help. Wraith prism was just an adequate design that did its job. It thought about water coolers, but never dealt with them before and was not ready to commit to that, which would be a bit more work to setup. After reading the reviews, I thought Id give this a try and go from there.

I bought it with ryzen 5900x and I love it.

Initially had gotten a unit that was broken through shipping. Luckily had gotten a replacement for it and have been fairly happy about it. There were still a few bent fins but, not hard bending them back and was only a couple of them.
