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

Performance on par with a 240 AIO but way quieter, and super simple installation on AM4 considering most AIO use the same pump and installation which can be annoying. Though you can buy an addon to not make it so bad. This however, is just plug and play. Solid black brings the system uniformity and with the chromax customization can tkae it even further. Highly recommended if you want a highly compatible Tower Cooler without it being so massive.

Excellent all around cooler. Extremely good performance for such a small size. I love that it does not block the RAM, PCI slots nor the GPU; nor does it interfere with the case side panel.

Bought this cooler as it was the only one that supported LGA 1700 out of the box. It keeps my 12600k in the high 60s under load.

Got this to cool an intel i9 12900k. I generally dislike water coolers because as sound as an aio maybe I am uneasy having water near electronics. Anyway, I am able to keep an i9 12900k in the 80 to 82c range with peak temperature of 82c p cores overclocked to 4.8Ghz E cores 3.7Ghz under heavy load. In gaming it floats around in the 60c range. So if you are using your rig for gaming only you could maybe push those clock speeds a bit higher and remain in an acceptable range. Fans do not interfere with DIMM slots on a MSI Z690 EDGE board which is huge for me because I was concerned about the ram clearance. Overall, if you dont want to use water cooling this is definitely the next best thing you can buy. Pricey, but worth it!

I will never use water stuff around electricity, and people have gone mad with their insane water cooler pcs. This air cooler is better than almost all of the aio coolers out there. Its very quiet, and if it needs to speed up the cooling, it does it immediately. My CPU never passes 60 degrees during heavy gaming. The only issue I have is the weird latches of the fans that connect to the cooler itself. Its hard to remove them if you have it installed and want to adjust stuff around the mobo.

I am a computer building novice. I have built a few before for my kids but never anything crazy. This cooler was really easy to install and paper guide in the box tells you EXACTLY what to do, and all the pieces are color coded for your benefit. You will get it!

works amazing keeps Temps under control. I was running idol at 40 to 45 and when gaming 89 to 99 on my old cooler. but after installing this cooler now my pc is running 30 to 33 idol and 50 to 56 wail gaming. instalation is easy and great instruction. would recommend

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.

Best temps I have had for gaming on i7-13700k, benchmarking is a different story . Get this cpu cooler you won’t be disappointed

Substitui water cooling na perfeição.
