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

Runs silent, keeps i7 12700 under 60c while gaming demanding titles. a tad expensive but well worth it. Cant see myself ever needing another air cooler for future builds.

Excellent all around cooler. Extremely good performance for such a small size. I love that it does not block the RAM, PCI slots nor the GPU; nor does it interfere with the case side panel.

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.

It’s a good product, I had a wobbly fan and Noctua sent me a replacement! Their customer service seems to be good. Noctua makes great stuff, it may cost a premium but it’s worth it. One of the best air coolers you can find on the market.

Excellent no-compromise cooler for my i5-13600K, though a little expensive.

Me encantó este Cooler, es realmente muy bueno. Lo usé para un Intel Core i7-12700K y los resultados fueron excelentes, aún con este procesador que calienta bastante. En Idle se mantiene entre los 25° y 30° y en carga no me sube de 75°. El ventilador va variando su velocidad de acuerdo a lo que requiere, así que al realizar tareas sencillas, el ruido es mínimo, casi no se oye. Fue una excelente compra, si alguien lo quiere usar con este procesador o similar, puede comprarlo con toda confianza. 100% recomendado.

Love this cooler. Switched back to air cooling from aio’s and decided to go with this heat sink since I’ve fallen in love with noctua’s fans. This product did not disappoint at all. Easy install, quiet, quality built and packaged, very impressed with temps.

I have a 9900k running at 5.2ghz on all cores and the U12a keeps my temperatures between 58-65c. Even on CPU bound games like Battlefield 2042 my temps stay cool. Pair this with some Thermal Grizzly Kryonaught Extreme and call it a day. No issues with RAM clearance and it’s a breeze to mount. Well worth the money.

Have it mounted on a Gigabyte X570S Aero G with a Ryzen 9 5900X CPU. Using supplied thermal paste, CPU temps are a bit high for my liking. Moderate gaming loads are mid to upper 70s. I am going to try and reseat the cooler to see if that helps.

Works like a treat and will never leak or need a new pump. By far the best choice
