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

This air cooler keeps my CPU cooler than muly old water cooling system did, and its much quieter. Always trust Noctua. And thankfully the colors are all black, so no more hideous brown and tan fans. Buy this cooler!

The Noctua NH-U12A is surprisingly quiet, it is exactly as the reviews described. I did some basic testing and it alone - without any other case fans - managed to keep the temp of a Core i7 12700K steady at 35. I still have to do additional testing and will update this review when that is done. Although, the price is a bit high I would still recommend it to anyone looking for a none liquid cooling solution.

Large and in charge! Lowered the high load temps of my 5800x from 85C to 65C. Idle temps 32-35C. A bit pricey but worth every penny. Very easy to install.

Pour linstant cest bien

Like all Noctua products, the quality is exceptional. It is a touch difficult sometimes to get the screws going when mounting the cooler, but thats about it. Keeps my Ryzer 7 at good temps. I did try out their smaller 92mm single fan cpu cooler version for a bit. Compared to that I got 5 degrees lower on idle, and around 9 degrees cooler on load on Cinebench. That is going from a single 92mm cooler to dual 120mm, so the improvement makes sense. That just goes to show how good their smaller coolers are! If you dont plan to overclock your cpu I would go with their smaller cooler as the difference isnt massive. This particular all black version is on the pricier side (thats the 1 star drop). Nonetheless, Noctua is my go-to for anything cooling. I thought hard about buying an AiO from another brand but didnt want to have to worry about pump issues, leaking, or fitting the radiator in my case. Im happy I went with Noctua.

This is my second Noctua CPU cooler. Then first one being a low profile model for a smaller (thinner) case. It is easy to install. Just make sure to check MOBO and CPU compatibility on Noctua’s web site, as well as specs height (so it fits in your case). Then just follow the instructions that come with it for your type of CPU socket (Intel or AMD) and you should be fine. With this model you can install 1 or both fans (depending on your needs). Noctua support via contact means provided in their website is great. Hapoy with Noctua.

Beast of an air cooler and nearly silent, rarely if ever hesr it ramp up a bit. Temps stay around 39c normally and gaming around 56c to 60c max. Im running a 5800x and this is by far the best air cooler I have ever owned.

I choose Noctua for its Premium Look, easy installation and support for new socket even though theres ton of air cooler out there for cheapest price. Also, its hard to get one here in the Philippines as almost stores here are out of stock for this model. Thanks Noctua!

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.

Instructions were clear and concise, all black is great, mounting is good(would like a preset torque driver included in the kit for the price), keeps a 11700K(stock) 10C under TJmax when running prime95s hardest test, cold plate is machined to an even and flat surface. All in all this is a good upgrade from Coolermaster 212 series.
