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

Ive been an avid nhd15 user. No more. I will now be using the u12a for future builds. I just built a 5950x system with a u12a and it keeps it from loosing its cool. Mid 80s when PBO optimized, same as the nhd15 i tried on the same system :) In my mind, its quieter and is not an eye sore in my case blocking the pretty ram that Ive got or causing me to loose skin trying to pull out my video card. As stated before, the temperatures seems like its the same as its bigger counterpart. The only negative thing that I can think of is that I did have a couple of bent fins but they were easily bent back into shape.

Have had no problem cooling my Ryzen 7700X CPU with light overclocking enabled. Experimented with ASUS AI overclocking and manual overclocking and it had no issues cooling the CPU with either enabled. Havent seen temps go above 80 degrees no matter what gaming or real world tasks I have done. I really like the fact that it is a realtively smaller dual tower air cooler so doesnt look too massive compared to a NH-D15, but still has excellent performance.

I was missing a mounting piece from the Box.

I am using this NH-U12A with a i9 12900k CPU and in a Fractal Torrent case which is a match made in heaven for an air-cooled system. This comes with the socket 1700 kit and installation is simple with great instructions.

I am going to be using this product in my PC build.

naja, preis viel zu teuer, meinen R7 5800X hält er grad ma 10 grad kühler als mein einfacher bequiet kühler für 30€

Loud, ineffective. As simple as that, get the NH-D15 if it fits your case. Huge difference.

Lo recomiendo exelente se que es caro pero hace el trabajo

so, i have a matrexx 55 deep cool pc case, and I was very concerned that I wouldnt have enough clearance for this in my case, even though I did check before hand that I would have 165 mm clearance ---

Fits in a Fractal Meshify C tower on a Asus TUF z390 mATX board due to its 120mm fan profile.
