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

Probably the best single tower cooler out there. The Noctuas Secufirm is THE BEST mounting solution, period. The fans that come with the cooler perform well and they worth over half of the price, so it will be much appreciated if Noctua decided to sell the cooler separately for guys like me who want to use other fans.

The price is high but you get what you pay for. Each of the fans sells for $40 on their own. The heatsink is so quiet. It replaced my AMD Prism from my R7 2700x which was incredibly loud. I was thinking I might regret spending so much money on this, but it was worth every penny.

This product adequately cools down my CPU on my computer APX ROG XIII.

I had only just built this PC 3 months ago and tried an AIO for the first time, specifically a Corsair H100i and although the temps were very good it was incredibly noisy. So, I bit the bullet and took a loss on it and replaced it with an air cooler. It was a good decision. I was debating between this NH-U12A and the NH-D15S, eventually settling on this, the U12A. After doing a lot of research, it seemed like the general consensus was this is the superior cooler to the D15S, and can even compete with the NH-D15, yet with much, much better case and RAM compatibility. As for the temps, when compared to my 240 AIO, theyre identical at idle at around 30 degrees and slightly better while gaming, I only have Witcher 3 in 1440p as a reference but while gaming for at least 2-3 hours I had a consistent temp in the high 40s and low 50s. I will also add that this is MUCH QUIETER though still fairly audible once the fans hit 1000RPM, but like I said still a huge improvement in noise levels overall. In Cinebench under full load after one hour it hits 59 degrees, with PBO enabled it hit 77 degrees after one hour. Very impressive stuff, especially when the 5000 series CPUs are known for running hot.

I love love love this fan. When I received it I had no idea just how big it actually was and how nice it was going to look. It fits in my mid size case with no problems! I replaced a liquid cooling fan with this and you cannot go wrong. You cannot hear this fan starting up, and if your playing big games like warzone guess what? Still no sound and my Temps are running smoothly!

Nachdem mein Brocken 3 es vorher in meinem alten Cooler Master Masterbox 5 Mesh Case nicht geschafft hatte einen Ryzen 7 5800x3d unter 90 Grad Maximaltemperatur zu halten im Cinebench, habe ich auf den Noctua U12A umgerüstet und was soll ich sagen? Das Teil hält wirklich was es verspricht!

Nessun rumore e ottimi livelli di temperatura della CPU

My case couldnt fit the mighty D15 so I went with this instead. Its very good. Fantastic footprint. Ram friendly. Supreme cooling performance.

Ich wechselte meine Corsair H115i mit dem 280er Radiator gegen dieses Kühler, da ich mit den 82 Grad (nach 20 Minuten CPU Stresstest) auf meinem AMD 3700x nicht zufrieden war. Auf meinem Intel habe ich die H110 mit einem 240er Radiator von Corsair und dort wirkt er Wunder. Nach kurzer Recherche bestellte ich diesen Kühler und bin sehr zufrieden damit. Die Temperatur nach 30 Minuten Stresstest beläuft sich auf 73 Grad bei festgesetzten 4200 MHZ. Die Installation ist an Einfachheit kaum zu toppen, da man die bekackten AMD-Klammern nicht braucht.

I cant believe that this baby could perform better than AIOs. After spending so much money on water cooling system for some years there is finally an alternative that matches and exceeds AIO systems without risk of failure. It can be installed on mini itx motherboards with ram clearance.
