Noctua NH-U12A, Premium CPU Cooler with High-Performance Quiet NF-A12x25 PWM Fans (120mm, Brown)

Great cooler my old AIO died after 7+ years and this was the perfect replacement for it. Air cooler has come a long way. Worth the money.

Works well and quiet on idle. Fits well so I can reach the gpu. I returned the bigger 140mm coz couldnt reach gpu, but this one is perfect.

Incredible, excellent quiet cooling, but the 3 prong motherboard connection puts out only 30% fan power at 90 degrees C and 100% output (mining), causing computer shutdown when the processor overheats. The fans must use more power than anticipated by the motherboard. Dont plug it into the motherboards cpu fan connections, but get an adaptor to power it directly from the power supply, if you want to use your processor at 100% for mining or gaming. There are two fans to plug in, so get two 3 prong connectors adapted to a 4 prong molex when you order it, if you want the fans to run at full power for heavy computer processor use.

Im using this with an Intel i7 11900k CPU. It works well and runs about 5C cooler than the 240mm AIO I was previously using. At 76F ambient, Im getting individual cores between 40-47C with a mostly idle ubunu desktop. Package is showing 47C-50C. This is with kyronaut extreme thermal paste rather than the noctua included stuff. Benchmark results show a 5% increase with the new cooler overall. (passmark, multiple phoronix tests, geekbench)

Habe den Kühler für einen Ryzen 7 5800X gekauft. Der Kühler kühlt die CPU auf entspannte 30-40 Grad im idle und unter voller Auslastung komme ich nicht über 70 Grad. Hitzkopf Fehlanzeige. Qualität wie gewohnt genial! Hier bekommt man fast die Leistung des großen Bruder NH-D15 aber deutlich kompakter. Die RAM Bänke werden nicht gestört. Aufbau ist kinderleicht und auch das Zubehör ist mehr als ausreichend vorhanden. Y-Kabel, Kühler Paste und silent Adapter. Bin zufrieden.

Ryzen9　3950Xで運用しています。

(PLEASE SEE MY EDIT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE REVIEW) Like most, I decided on this particular Noctua model because it offers excellent cooling in a relatively small form factor. This is my first proper air cooler.

Works great in my nr200. 5900x is locked at 4.5ghz @ 1.196v and runs without issues at 67c under full load on the gigabyte b550 pro ax itx! Comes with a y spliter if your motherboard only has 1 CPU fan header.

Ive been running the Noctua NH-U12S Cooler for the past several years on various Intel CPUs and have always loved it for the simplicity, design and performance. I have also been running (2) Black Noctua NF-F12 fans on it. I purchased this NH-12A not for the included UGLY fans, but I really wanted to see what the thicker heat sink would do running my same (2) Black Noctua fans without even changing the Fan profiles. Good news is that im seeing at least 3 degree cooler temps all around even with slightly warmer ambient temps.

Sistema di raffreddamento ad aria molto silenzioso. Potrebbero migliorare lo stile proponendo vari colori.
