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

not as good as a aio liquid cooler but definitely gets the job done and to me it looks 10x better that a aio. but thats my opinion. but it definitely keeps my temps in check.

Overall, I am happy with the result. I have always wanted black Noutua fans for years and finally they drop this. Compare to my Noctua NH-D15, Noctua NH-U12A is still comes with similar cooling performance as my Ryzen 7 5800x temp idles at around 27 to 30C and hits 40C for heavy work load. This is very similar to my Noctua NH-D15 but in a smaller formfactor.

Typical of Noctua, this product is phenomenal!

This cooler is awesome! First off, I wanted to go air cooling over water cooling on my i7-12700k and after countless hours of researched I arrived at this. It looks amazing, and the performance for an air cooler is unreal with it not going over 60c even on intense games which is equal to/outperforms many larger air cooling rivals.

The UH-12A is a fantastic cooler that is quite impressive given it’s size. I’m very happy with the temps and low noise I’m getting while using it with a 5800x3d. It looks pretty sleek as well.

El producto funciona de maravilla, las instrucciones fueron muy claras para su instalación, el ruido es aceptable aún y cuando se sube al máximo la velocidad y la temperatura de mi procesador la disminuyó poco más de 10 grados a una temperatura ambiente de 25 grados aproximadamente y me gustó tanto su diseño como los materiales.

I did not want to liquid cool, so I took a chance on this fan. Works well with Ryzen 5900 and my ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero AMD AM4 X570S. Normal web surfing and Word and Excel, the idle temp is around 33 Celsius. I run the fans on quiet mode. When video rendering, the temp goes to 65 degrees. The processor is running at 4700 MHz. If it gets near 70, the fan kicks into higher mode and keeps the temp below 65. I have a full size case. I am not a gamer, but I suspect the temp will be kept below 70. I love the Ryzen because the the cpu speed drops below 500 MHz. I have been using this system since I built it March. I am extremely pleased. My case supports liquid cooling, but I see no need for it. The reason I chose the Asus MB is that superbly built and has lots of USB ports.

If youre considering this fan, then you probably already know of Noctuas stellar reputation. This is now the second CPU cooler of bought of theirs, and Ive also bought several models of their case fans in the past, all to great success.

Compared to other very respectable coolers I have used in the past, install of this one was very easy. Its also a plus that the metal fan mounts have a better design than similar style coolers and hold the fans on much more firmly.

so far...I love this fan. its keeps my LGA 1700, 13th....cool.
