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

It is a great performance cooler, I have always used the stock that comes with the processor and the difference is huge. Installation is simple and it comes with all the necessary instructions, tools and parts, it even comes with thermal paste.

Let me start by saying i got rid of a custom loop for this and i do not regret it one bit.

Bonne alternative à mon AIO dont la pompe ma lâchée au bout de 3 ans et pas de soucis de remise à niveau du liquide de refroidissement avec les refroidissements à air. Se monte très facilement dans une config déjà montée.

Qué decir de ésta bestia. Construcción excelente, cero ruido y buena disipación.

El producto llego en buen estado y antes de la fecha de entrega. Los ventiladores son silenciosos y mantiene el procesador fresco, lo recomiendo

Again, a quality premium product from noctua. I can barely hear the fans. Really easy to install, instructions were quiet easy to follow and also lots of YouTube videos around! I would have preferred this cooler to be £10 cheaper as in the same price bracket as the chrome and brown/beige version. Guess you pay a premium for Chromax...

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.

Lo uso con un 13600k y anda perfecto. Solamente configurar bien la curva de temperatura en la BIOS para sacarle buen rendimiento al procesador. Hay que encontrar el punto de la curva de enfriamiento y se convierte en una bestia.

Its extremely quiet (basically silent when at idle). My intake fan is louder than the two fans running on the air cooler (I put the low noise adapters that came with the cooler because why not). AM4 installation was a breeze for a first time pc builder pleb like myself. Also nice that the cooler came with mounting brackets to fit AM3, AM4, and Intel CPUs.

While not as flashy as the AMD Wraith Prism, this Fan really lived up to the hype. Reason I upgraded was I was annoyed by the constant throttling of the wraith fan which would keep my AMD Ryzen 9 3900X below 58 C, I just got tired of the constant fan throttling since my case sits on my desk. I tried to adjust the fan curves in BIOS but that didnt help. Wraith prism was just an adequate design that did its job. It thought about water coolers, but never dealt with them before and was not ready to commit to that, which would be a bit more work to setup. After reading the reviews, I thought Id give this a try and go from there.
