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

Bought this cooler for my daughters PC, we were upgrading from an i5 (stock cooler) to an i9 with this bad boy. Went to install the new processor and this cooler and the PC would NOT boot! I thought I had messed something up, went through the whole install again and same result.

It is ridiculously quiet, I do not hear the fans at all. It was larger than I thought it would be, that is my fault for not reading the measurements. Make sure you pay attention to where your memory slots are on your board. This now covers two slots on mine but that is OK as I went with x32 GB for 64 GB which is more than enough for what this computer build is meant to do.

I use this cooler with an i7 12700K and it keeps it cool and quiet even when under 100% load my CPU stays at around 60C

Przesyłka dotarła na czas. Prawidłowo zapakowana. Samo chłodzenie działa bardzo dobrze. i7 11700k podczas długiego grania nagrzewa się maksymalnie do około 70-75 stopni C. W większości gier temperatury są między 60 a 70 stopni C. Wiatraki w trakcie grania są słyszalne, ale nie uciążliwe. To moje drugie chłodzenie od Noctua i spisuje się bardzo dobrze.

Great cooler that cools my 12700K well. Using in a Torrent case with great airflow so pairing with this cooler was a great choice. The cooler is built well and moves a lot of air with low noise.

Purchased this cooler when the Intel 12th gen chips launched. Ordered it for the i9 12900K, it seemed to work well at first. But when playing games or using any task that made the CPU usage increase, temps dramatically went up. For example, I tried running a Prime95 benchmark only for the chip to overheat and throttle. Upgraded to a Corsair water cooler and have had no heat issues since.

Macht was es soll und kühlt meinen 12 Kernen sowie die neueste Grafikkarte sehr gut, überschreitet nie die 70 Grad Marke und ist meist unter 60 Grad

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!

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.

Likes: easy to install, very quiet, looks great in black with the optional chromax colored cover. GREAT cooling for my i7 9700k. Seeing a 5-7 degree drop from previous Deepcool cooler. Much smaller than the DH-15!
