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

11/10

replaced a corsaire h100 v2 that was idleing at 80c...this puppy sits at 38c. it saved my system!

Using on a 12600K CPU. Dead simple installation and simple fan mounting allowing for easy fan repositioning. Fantastic thermals at around 28c idle and 60c load after undervolting by 140mv. Highly recommended!

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.

On achat cohérant quand on veut un produit de qualité et fiable. le placement sur le nouveau socket 1700 dIntel cest déroulé sans problèmes. Je recommande sans hésiter.

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.

It doesnt look as good an AIO in my opinion but still the chromax black edition doesnt look that bad compared to the brown original version.

Non avevo mai provato su una build, questo tipo di raffreddamento. Pienamente soddisfatto. Raffredda egregiamente un i7 12900k non overcloccato, uguale, se non meglio di un AIO.

There is an almost unbearable harmonic beating tone produced at almost every fan RPM level regardless of whether the LNAs are used. Certain PWM percentages are worse than others where the oscillation of the tone becomes intense and fast, but its never anything that can be escaped from entirely. Really disappointed as I quite like the fans themselves, I think Noctua needs to resolve how its fans negatively interact with heatsinks.

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.
