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

Jokes aside, I’m really shocked at just how quiet this thing really is. I build my own PCs every couple of years, usually with the highest end parts available at the time. I’ve always used liquid cooling in my PCs, believing that there was no way a heat sink with a fan on it could possibly cool a high-end processor.

Lowered my cpu temps by an average of about 5 degrees celsius from 69 to about 63. I was using cooler master 212 air cooler from 2013 on an i7 3770k @ 4.5ghz on 1.275 volts. I can probably lower it more if I adjust the fan speeds to be a little more aggressive. I like Noctua now!

Adquirí este disipador por las buenas criticas y espectativas que presentaba, pero...

設定がまずいのか、CPUはよく冷えますが、、負荷をかけるとファンの音が結構します。

Love the fans on this cooler. They are completely unnoticeable in my system. CPU temperature is also doing better than the stock amd wraith stealth cooler, so I got nothing to complain about. Great product.

Quality is top notch. Mounting was very easy. Cools my AMD 3900x better than my old water cooler. Fans are quiet. Support at Noctua was prompt and polite when I had a question.

ryzen9 5900に交換したので購入。静音、熱も通常使用では問題無し。マウントのネジ止めが少々手間取ったが簡易水冷の取り付けより余程簡単。メモリー等への干渉も無い

(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.

I bought this to cool a 5800x on an Asus Prime x570 Pro in an NZXT H510i case. Although it may not look like it, the standoffs for the mounting kit do allow ample clearance for the capacitors around the CPU socket. The vertical clearance is also fine; theres about 1/3 to 1/2 inch between the side of the case and the cooler.
