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

Used on a i9 12900k Build NZXT 510 Case . I was worried this would not cool the processor and i would need liquid cooling or the D15 . But this cooler is a beast . Silent as hell . Also in Black .

It replaced a Noctua nh-9Us. A necessary move upgrading from a R3 1200 to a R7 5800x. Temps went from almost immediate thermal throttle at normal gaming use and upper 70s regular web browsing (I have it set to throttle at 80c even though they supposedly run well into the 90s by design) to it hangs out in the 50s-60s. It will slowly creep up to 83 under a stress test when I temporarily turned the throttle to stock (which compared to reviews of the 5800x Ive seen, is really good, lots of low-mid 90s from what Ive read), but it has never passed 70 otherwise. Nothing against the nh-9Us, that kept my 1200 under 45c under any circumstance, its just the 5800x runs real hot and regularly clocks itself at 4.50+ instead of the 3.8GHz its rated for. Some sort of self overclock? Either way, this helps keep it at bay. Like I said, most situations keep to the 60s now instead of 80 or higher with the nh-9Us. And that cooler was 15c cooler than the stealth that came with my 1200. Never tested the stealth on the 5800x because it was already too much for the 92mm. Only reason for 4 stars is because its louder than my (admittedly single fan) 92mm same brand predecessor and cost over 100 bucks. Forgot to add that the system temps for both is ~30-35c, however probably due to more heat dissipation by new cooler, it now occasionally hits 40c. Current case is ThermalTake T-100 minitower iTX. Vertical config with heat exiting top of cooler to top of case Noctua 140mm fan for exhaust case fan.

As long as your case has decent airflow, this cooler is so nice. Its quieter than my old Corsair AIO and cools about the same. Had to replace the AIO due to a dying pump. I run with a 5800x and get good temps.

Installation: very simple, mounting system was easy to install, screwing the tower down onto it was equally as easy and the fans clipped on nicely building inside the case.

Works great for my gaming computer and its quiet.

I opened the box and could not help but laugh at the size, this thing is huge and must weigh over a pound . My first thought was that it was comically large. In the pictures you can see it sitting on the CPU, and it size compared to the I/O plate of the mother board, the second pic is it sitting next to the stock AMD Cooler that came with my Ryzen 5700G. The instructions recommend you take off the cooler before transporting it because you dont want that weight bouncing around while attached to the MB. Its big.

Noctua a réussi à descendre de 15-20 degré les température du processeur. Je vous le recommande. Vérifier que votre case à moins 160mm de profondeur pour la compatibilité.

Premetto che ho due pc e questo e il secondo dissipatore noctua che compro e sono rimasto meravigliato dell efficacia di raffredamento e silenziosita che ha nei confronti del nd h15 che ho mantato su i9-12900kf mentre questo sta dissipando i9-10900k e sono rimasto meravigliato dato le sue dimensioni ridotte consiglio nh-12a che a prestazioni sono simili ma ancora piu silenzioso e prende meno spazio ottimo da parte di noctua

Noctua siempre se ha caracterizado por ofrecer productos de altísima calidad, este caso no es la excepción, inclusive, creo que es el producto mas cuidadosamente diseñado por ellos. El desempeño contra las dimensiones del producto, su apariencia estética y encima la impresionante compatibilidad que ofrece el producto no tiene igual. Cuento con un chasis Corsair Carbide 175r RGB + AMD Ryzen 5 5600 y este disipador cayo como anillo al dedo en el. Estoy muy contento con el producto, en lo único que puedo quejarme es en el precio, pues actualmente hay otras marcas que ofrecen productos con muy buen desempeño a un precio mucho mas bajo, pero quizás no tengan la misma estética y compatibilidad que este producto, en conclusión, lo recomiendo.

みんな大好きこてっちゃんから乗り換えました。まともな値段のタイミングで買えてよかった…！
