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

Went from an AMD Stock Cooler to the NH-U12A. Best decision made so far. The cooling is insane (Even though I don’t do OCing), and I went from an average temperature of 83-92C on Heavy Loads, to barely even going past 66C on Heavy Loads, even on BF1 and FiveM which are very very very CPU heavy. I run all my games on the highest settings on 4K resolution (3840x2160) and the CPU temps are blowing my mind. Get this cooler while you can! Black one looks better.

its good

Cools the 5800X quite well. Went from a 360 AIO to this as i have already 2 rigs that encountered AIO failures.

cumple con lo prometido. bajo 10 grados al I7 12700K. Lo unico malo es su precio.

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.

Der Noctua Kühler sitzt auf einem 12700K (Kein OC, Kein UV) und selbst im Cinebenchmark bleibt die CPU bei unter 80°C, ja dabei ist er hörbar aber weitaus nicht so laut wie meine MSI 3080 unter Last - Mit Kopfhörern aufm Kopf nehm ich den Kühler nicht mehr wahr.

It does keep my Ryzen 7 5800x cool even under heavy loads. Max temps have only reached up to 70 C and that is without undervolting.

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.

Was baught for Ryzen 7900X, but top CPUs of the 7000 series of AMD is too HOT for this cooler. 95C thermal limit after 3-4 seconds at full load, but frequencies holds around 5,2 GHz - a little bit closer to factory 5,3GHz, but not anough . I recommend NH-D15 or AIO.

If youre looking for a high end cooler that stays pretty quiet and keeps temps down - this is it. Better than the 212 Black Edition - but also double the price. If you want a high end build to cool down high end components, splurge and get this. Mounting is an absolute breeze.
