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

Was baught for Ryzen 7900X, but top CPUs of the 7000 series of AMD is too HOT for this cooler. 95C thermal limit after 3-4 seconds at full load, but frequencies holds around 5,2 GHz - a little bit closer to factory 5,3GHz, but not anough . I recommend NH-D15 or AIO.

The Stock Cooler on an Intel i7-8700 was not cutting it when pushed hard. When importing point cloud scan data the CPU would constantly hit thermal limits at 99-100c hindering performance and putting the hardware in a dangerous temp zone. The U12A keeps an average temp of 62c with individual core peeks at 78c during extended 100% cpu utilization. CPU performance now remains consistent and no more loud fan noise ramping up and down. Good investment to prolong the useful life of my existing hardware. The Cooler, Fans & contents of installation kit are exceptional and well worth the money.

Absolut Hammer Lüfter, kann man absolut mit keinen Bequiet Silent Wings 3 vergleichen.

Jenlève une étoile pour linstallation qui ma obligée à devoir demander de laide, et donc retarder le montage de mon PC dune semaine. Le ventirad est incroyable et très efficace, certes, mais pour linstaller!!! Arrive un moment où deux grosses vis donnent limpression de stagner, de tourner dans le vide. Impossible à visser, et donc le ventirad ne tient pas une fois la carte mère mise debout!

Purchased this cooler when the Intel 12th gen chips launched. Ordered it for the i9 12900K, it seemed to work well at first. But when playing games or using any task that made the CPU usage increase, temps dramatically went up. For example, I tried running a Prime95 benchmark only for the chip to overheat and throttle. Upgraded to a Corsair water cooler and have had no heat issues since.

After doing some research and trying to find a cooler that is not a AIO this fits the bill perfectly. it is quiet, easy to install, and comes with everything you need in the box for a LGA 1700 and you do not need to worry about reaching out the the manufacture for parts.

Quiet, effective and not a bad price.

If youre considering this fan, then you probably already know of Noctuas stellar reputation. This is now the second CPU cooler of bought of theirs, and Ive also bought several models of their case fans in the past, all to great success.

Low noise level easy to install

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.
