> 3 dayVery nice fan. It does not low at all and my whole set up is very silent. It is amazing. I am new to build a pc so it does take me a while to set it up. I would recommend you guys to watch tutorial on YouTube if you are a newbie on building pc like me.

> 3 dayThe U12A is a great air cooler albeit the most expensive one. I use it in a small mATX case (inwin 301) where airflow is poor. Does a great job cooling an r5 3600 idling in high 30s to low 40s. In cinebench r23 max temp 74 degrees and while gaming up to 78 degrees max spike. I know the 3600 is not hard to cool. The U12A gives slightly better cooling performance than the wraith prism. About 4-6 degrees delta but its much better at being silent. At 100% max fan spin, while audible it is not very loud. Ive also used this cooler with a 5900x in the same case and that CPU is a hot one! It can cool the 5900x in cinebench r23 at high 70s to mid 80s and idle at around 45-50 degrees. While gaming I saw the 5900x temps spike really high. CPU package up to 89 degrees and CCD1 go up to 93. That being said the U12A chromax black is still a great cooler that I can easily recommend. If your case is limited to 158mm cooler height and youre thinking about purchasing this... do it, you wont regret it.

> 3 dayFor almost two hours, my friend and I were not able to understand how to attach these clips. At one point, I thought of returning it, which would be very tedious, since we ordered it from overseas. However, my friend managed to get the clips in place. He said this is a very nice cooler and we must not return it. Anyway, I think it would be better to have 4 long screws with amortization for peace of mind. No complaints after we managed to set the clips in place.

Greater than one weekThe only negative I can see is the fans mount to the radiator. They are only held on via spring tension by two thin metal wires.

> 3 dayFunciona muy bien, montado en 5900x. Ventiladores al 50% fijos, yo al menos no escucho los ventiladores a no ser que me acerque, instalado en una caja tipo openframe thermaltake p30.
