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

All temperatures in Celsius.

Im from a familiar territory I got a Noctua NH-U12S before this purshase , its highly efficien. I dont know the exact value for money but Im wholly convinced with this one.

worth while quality

No complaints whatsoever! The mounting hardware is really sturdy, the fans arent loud (not that it bothers me, Im mostly concerned with cooling performance), and for once I didnt cut my every other finger on the fins of a heatsink.

This thing runs my 5900X and 5600X amazingly cool. I came here from the scythe mugen 5 and boy does it make a difference. I dont think its just the fans either. The actual design on the cooler makes a huge difference. I used the NF-A12x25 fans on my mugen 5 and it did help but still felt like it wasnt adequate. However, on the u12A it feels like its been so optimized. I might officially be a noctua fanboy now.

Awesome cooler, but I wish the fan colors were different- like all black or black and white.

A les to cool down 3950x without issues

Ero inizialmente deciso se comprare questo dissipatore o ricomprare un altro NH-D15 ma, vista la dimensione del case, la scelta e stata in un certo senso obbligata. Obbligata sì ma estremamente entusiasta. E un dissipatore molto compatto, facile da montare, che svolge molto, molto bene il suo lavoro anche se alloggiato in case non grandissimi (lho montato in un case CoolerMaster Elite 330. E abbastanza silenzioso: tengo con la velocità delle ventole al massimo, visto che il processore esegue pesanti compilazioni per il 90% del tempo. Non avevo dubbi della qualità di questo dissipatore, come dicevo ho già diversi dissipatori Noctua e sapevo di andare a comprare un prodotto di alta qualità e molto efficente. Dentro la confezione ce tutto: un tubettino di pasta da applicare, riduttori di velocità di rotazione delle ventole, attacchi per i vari socket e un cacciavite. Ottimo, ne ricomprerei uno anche subito in caso di bisogno per un nuovo pc.

Noctua makes some great products. The NH-U12A is weighty as in solid and well balance. The mounting posts which go under the mobo provides a lot of confidence in case you have any thoughts about bending or cracking the mobo ... not a chance. The NH-U12A kit comes with cpu heat transfer paste, extra y-cable to mount both fans to one cpu fan 4 pin on mobo, and provides noise reducer cables. Like I said before, Noctua makes solid stuff with proper accessories to mount your cooler. The fans are 120mm, very quiet running in normal speed (you can run silent or full speed). Depending on your needs, one fan can be used as a case fan (easy clips hold the fan on the radiators) - I use both. Last thing ... it keeps the cpu temp at in a very acceptable range (my computer is on for at least 10 hours a day).

the cooler is a pain to install you have to put way too much pressure to get the other screw-in
