Noctua NH-U12A Chromax Black review

[@MrVoayer]

Noctua is reknown for their highly efficient, yet silent CPU coolers. This video shows yet another aspect of them: simplicity of installation. AIO coolers and RGB fans may have glitz to them but they make the life quite complicated with all the cables, with the need for additional USB 2.0 hubs and things like that. This Noctua works perfectly and does its job flawlessly with just one connection cable ! And that is something to cherish !

So I'm upgrading some parts in my PC, Mobo, CPU and Cooling system. I got the 14th Gen i7 with 14th Gen Asus Mobo. Would this be great cooling option for that you think? I'm going back and forth for coolers I really don't know what to get

Noctua = Quality

[@nighttimestalker]

Due to me using a smaller case, I opted for this. My 5600X practically never leaves the mid 60s under most cases. Occasionally if it's really taxed for something, you can hear the fan pick up a little as the CPU gets to the upper 60s.

I take Scythe fuma 3 with my 5700X i never jump above 70C... Ryzen 7 5000 series is very hot no matter what cooler u have

Great review! Not sure how I missed it! Been using this cooler for a while myself and shockingly it compares equally to a 240mm AIO.

Amazing cooler! Cools my 9700K at any clock speed

👍🏼👍🏼

[@essence7779]

Can you overclock without any temp issues ?

[@poopenshnapples7160]

@@essence7779 Yes. I have had it at around 5.1ghz (1.5v+) with the temps around 85*C. Currently at 4.8ghz (1.29v-ish) and temps are usually around 60*C

[@RichardMorenberg]

that was always my go to cooler, until the 12th gen I felt it couldn't handle it thanks for this video

[@NGreedia]

Nobody is talking about if the silicon screws still make noctua fans quieter still even witht the rubber corners. I guess we'll just hsve to find out.

[@renelackner3081]

Nice review since I am in the market for a CPU cooler for my 14700K build, but I think your tongue slipped, when you said it's an all in one cooler.

[@Canadian76]

I’m assuming it should work fine with the i7 13700k then

[@caymandiver75]

Yup! Been using this on my 13700k for a long time now with no issues.

[@DaudasVlr]

Its a good option for i7? what is the max temp you are getting?

[@caymandiver75]

@@DaudasVlr yeah solid option for i7. Temps while gaming are usually in the high 60's low 70's running the fans no faster than 1600rpm which is still quiet.

The quietness of the cooler is negated by the whimpering of your wallet

[@HiepTranAccount]

Lmaooo

[@romainh1875]

Quiet ok, but cooler is bad on AM5 sorry. On Cyberpynk, 5 to 7°C higher than my Peerless for 3x the price of the Peerless... the only thing to keep is the fans so...
