> 3 dayIts 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.

07-06-2025Best CPU air cooler on the market hands down. Whisper quiet, lowered my cpu temps by a lot, and installing it was super simple. Couldn’t recommend this product more.

> 3 dayThis 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.

Greater than one weekPerforms great, looks great. Will only let you down if you are trying to cool Intels 250w monsters.

> 3 dayHonestly there’s nothing I dislike about this system. It’s amazing!!! I’m running a 12th Gen Intel with this and it’s kept it cool under a long gaming sessions no problem, and I’m talking 10-14hrs no break.

> 3 dayI am running this with my new 12700k non-overclocked and the temperatures easily stay around 64-68C during a stress test. With a custom fan curve its super quiet while still easily keeping things cool.

> 3 dayThe chromax u12a loves up to the typical noctua quality you’d expect, which is great. Noctua has the easiest mounting system I’ve used in 20 years of building pcs. I also look it looks great but I also think the ram and brown looks good too.

> 3 dayI will never use water stuff around electricity, and people have gone mad with their insane water cooler pcs. This air cooler is better than almost all of the aio coolers out there. Its very quiet, and if it needs to speed up the cooling, it does it immediately. My CPU never passes 60 degrees during heavy gaming. The only issue I have is the weird latches of the fans that connect to the cooler itself. Its hard to remove them if you have it installed and want to adjust stuff around the mobo.

Greater than one weekI have an i7-12700KF with BIOS AI Auto overclock turned on. Under heavy load with games like Battlefield 2042 + Browser on with video playing its at max 66 temp. Ive never seen it go higher.
