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

My i7-12700k wont go over 75C stock

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

Bought an AIO and it lasted less than a year. Installed this and I am so happy with it. Sleek, powerful, and quiet. Keeps my Ryzen 5600x at a cool 65°c under load and it is quiet!!

check the Noctua page to understand what motherboards it will fit with. Understand that this does not account for a vertical mount GPU in most situations.

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.

Premetto che ho due pc e questo e il secondo dissipatore noctua che compro e sono rimasto meravigliato dell efficacia di raffredamento e silenziosita che ha nei confronti del nd h15 che ho mantato su i9-12900kf mentre questo sta dissipando i9-10900k e sono rimasto meravigliato dato le sue dimensioni ridotte consiglio nh-12a che a prestazioni sono simili ma ancora piu silenzioso e prende meno spazio ottimo da parte di noctua

It fits perfectly, designed to get the most you possibly can with a standard size build. Runs my 10700k between 50c and 69c with a 34percent overclock from stock settings.

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.

Works great. Much easier to install than other tower air coolers Ive used. Just follow the included directions and dont put too much thermal paste and youre set. Postal service lost my package and it took me an extra week to get this but not Amazons fault so no stars taken off.

I am very pleased with this cooler and the amount of adapters included and the fact it came with thermal paste. I had forgotten to order, this was a welcomed find.
