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

Initially I was disspointed because this appeared to not work better for me compared to a Noctua NH-U12S with one extra NF-F12 fan added for push-pull configuration. In time however I got to appreciate this cooler and what a good job it does keeping my i9-10900K super cool in all situations. Compact, does not block any RAM slots and super quiet.

worked great for my 7950x no problems

My son has a Cyberpower gaming PC. Its a beast of a machine, but recently it started randomly crashing. I read some reviews of others having the same issue until they replaced their cpu cooler with this one. So I thought Id give it a try. So happy that I did. I think it was fairly easy to install, once you read through the somewhat confusing directions, and watch several youtube videos. But in the end, its an excellent product, quiet, and really works well. Highly recommended if your case has the room for it. You can run just one fan if you want, but I had room for both of them. Also if running two fans, it comes with a Y adapter to connect them together to run off of of 1 motherboard header.

Read through the simple directions in accordance with your motherboard. Works great for my i7 and probably would use it on an i9.

Noctua siempre se ha caracterizado por ofrecer productos de altísima calidad, este caso no es la excepción, inclusive, creo que es el producto mas cuidadosamente diseñado por ellos. El desempeño contra las dimensiones del producto, su apariencia estética y encima la impresionante compatibilidad que ofrece el producto no tiene igual. Cuento con un chasis Corsair Carbide 175r RGB + AMD Ryzen 5 5600 y este disipador cayo como anillo al dedo en el. Estoy muy contento con el producto, en lo único que puedo quejarme es en el precio, pues actualmente hay otras marcas que ofrecen productos con muy buen desempeño a un precio mucho mas bajo, pero quizás no tengan la misma estética y compatibilidad que este producto, en conclusión, lo recomiendo.

I always choose Noctua Products because they are easy to install and they do what they are supposed to do. Also, Noctua provides a Wealth of Information on their Website about all their Models, so I can make a informed decision on which Model to use. As the saying goes It takes a good Engineer to make a simple Machine to do a simple Job.

Brittle connection to the connector. Wiring appeared stiff from old age.

Late to review, but after almost a year of use it has been perfect. Quiet and cools great. The 7 heat pipe construction can handle very high TDP CPUs. I picked this over the legendary NH-D15 because it is quicker to source a replacement 120mm square fan and the form factor. You can also experiment with other competitors 120mm fans.

Lo recomiendo exelente se que es caro pero hace el trabajo

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.
