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

I have this paired with a 5800x and it decreased my temps by 30 degrees from the wraith prism cooler

Honestly the fact that there is a single tower cooler with the performance of a dual cooler setup was perfect for me. I have never used Noctua before so I had no expectations. I waited for the Chromax edition of the NH-U12A to become available as I had a specific black and white theme going. Mounting was super easy with instructions, and this particular model came with the universal mounting bracket for 12th get intel boards and CPUs which was awesome. It was also much easier to mount than the CM Hyper 212 Evo which has been my go-to previously. There was just so much less guesswork than you get with the spring mount on that 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.

This Noctua cooler is amazing. Many people already know and trust the brand, so it made it easy for me to justify purchasing it. This is the best cooler I’ve found so far and I doubt I will be ditching anytime soon.

Shipping was fast. Once i got the product it was wrapped in an Amazon box, then the original package.

very good and quiet cooler.the temps are really good too

Simple to install, Whisper quiet. Pricey? Yes, but why not get the best? Highly recommended.

Du fait des performances du cooler il est très aisé de faire la courbe pwm des ventilo souhaitée (performance - silence). Un conseil, n’utilisez pas les adaptateurs LNA vous pouvez simplement sélectionner la vitesse des ventilos dans le menu carte mère par exemple

First time using a noctua coming from a Corsair AIO water cooler. This fan is amazing and I am getting 38c idle and 80c on max stress (5900x - 100% on all cpus). The fans are incredibly quiet even at 2000 rpms. Noctua took about 10-15 minutes to install and has great instructions along with all accessories needed to get your CPU operating and cooled in no time (thermal paste included). Noctua also does a great job on providing all details via their website for their coolers and avoid clearance issues by providing many types of specifications. Highly recommended and will be using Noctua moving forward for an of my cooling needs.

noise level, cooling performance absoloutly perfect!
