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

What can I say? Cooling fans are not exactly a fashion accessory, but they are important. I jumped straight to the dual-fan cooler this time around, and I was not disappointed, This fan is working great, and my PC stays well within the range it should. I would happily buy one of these again.

Noctua—the brand name is internationally recognized—the company is undoubtedly established. However, one thing that we can all agree on is that these particular fans, despite their claim of being on par with a 140mm fan, the overall cooling promise made by the company is inaccurate. Ive tried switching all my fans with Noctua’s, which cost me well over $275. As far as cooling goes, I have yet to notice much of a difference in comparison to regular stock PC case fans. The CPU cooler is something Id probably steer clear from unless youre going for the double-radiator, in which case, I encourage it. Please do your research, play it safe and good luck!

Met with expectations

Finitions exemplairess,

Obwohl er teuer war, bin ich mit der Leistung des CPU-kühler sehr zu frieden. Der Einbau war sehr leicht. Der ryzen 7 5800x bleibt konstant kühl und stürzt nicht ab und wird auch nicht langsamer

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!

facile à monter

Thought about buying a water cooler for my i7 10700k since I intend to OC. I dont want the risk of water vapor leakage and the high maintenance of water cooler that can damage my PC, so after reading reviews I purchased the noctua nh u12a. I was torn between the older yet larger model the noctua d 15 but it seems too bulky for my taste and it may block some features of my gigabyte vision g mobo so I purchased the nh u12a and wow, this thing keeps my pc cool at all times

This CPU cooler is replacing a different tower cooler. Both that old one and the NH-U12A are around the same size, and their fans spin at the same rpm. In spite of this I noticed a substantial temperature drop of 5°C in the extreme stress testing software prime95. The temperature drop is smaller under most realistic use cases, but this still gave me enhanced stability with my overclock.

i used this as an exhaust rear case fan to pair with some 140mm noctuas. very quiet and keeps the case very cool. can also turn them up when needed and still isnt obnoxiously loud at 100%.
