Review: so cold i got frostbite installing it - probably the best cpu cooler, compact but performs just as good as the d15 without the bulk, they give u splitters and pwm extension cables too which is a nice touch. you should check dimensions though to make sure theres enough clearance in the case/mb Review: Best cooler I have ever owned - Keeps my 10850k running all core 5ghz at a 265w work load in upper 80s at max fan speeds Very good not too loud , easy install ## Features - Proven premium heatsink (more than 100 awards and recommendations from international hardware websites), now available in an all-black design that goes great with many colour schemes and RGB LEDs - Top-tier performance in 120mm size for excellent compatibility: fits most tower cases (158mm height), doesn’t overhang the RAM slots, doesn’t block the PCIe on most ATX & Micro-ATX motherboards - Dual state-of-the-art NF-A12x25 120mm fans with Low-Noise Adaptors and PWM for automatic speed control: full cooling performance under load, whisper quiet at idle! - Includes high-end NT-H1 thermal paste and SecuFirm2 mounting system for easy installation on Intel LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA115x and AMD AM5 & AM4 (offset mounting option for best efficiency) - Renowned Noctua quality backed up by 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, deluxe choice for Intel Core & Core Ultra (e.g. 285K, 265K, 245K) and AMD Ryzen (e.g. 9950X, 9900X, 9700X, 9600X) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B098XP1Y38 | | Air Flow Capacity | 102.1 Cubic Feet Per Minute | | Best Sellers Rank | #38,727 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #191 in CPU Fans | | Brand | Noctua | | Brand Name | Noctua | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Compatible devices | Desktop | | Cooling Method | Air | | Cooling method | Air | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,686 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 6 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 09010018000245 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 15.8L x 12.5W x 5.8H centimeters | | Item Weight | 1.2 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Noctua | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 2500 RPM | | Model | NH-U12Achromaxblac | | Noise Level | 22.6 Decibels | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | NH-U12A chromax.black | | Power Connector Type | 4-Pin | | Power connector type | 4-Pin | | Product dimensions | 15.8L x 12.5W x 5.8H centimeters | | UPC | 768645700722 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 12 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Noctua - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Power connector type:** 4-Pin - **Product dimensions:** 15.8L x 12.5W x 5.8H centimeters - **Voltage:** 12 Volts ## Images ![Noctua U12A Chromax 120MM CPU Cooler - Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Ww6xZa1aL.jpg) ![Noctua U12A Chromax 120MM CPU Cooler - Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZXpj5W7KL.jpg) ![Noctua U12A Chromax 120MM CPU Cooler - Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81sKd4ibSfL.jpg) ![Noctua U12A Chromax 120MM CPU Cooler - Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yr2hPRSDL.jpg) ![Noctua U12A Chromax 120MM CPU Cooler - Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VhiHAS7+L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I have an lga1700 i9 12900k, will this keep it cool enough for video and photo editing as well as fps gaming?** A: Yes it should cool a 12900k just fine. I have this cooler on the 12900ks and it cools well. I leave it encoding video for 24hr sometimes and have had no problems. The cpu definitely runs hot. You can feel the warm air blowing off but the heat sync is affective. **Q: Does this support LGA1700 out of the box, does it include any necessary kits/mounting brackets?** A: Not entirely sure, but rather than asking here, I'd ask on the Noctua site. It may be harder to get a straight answer from consumers than directly from the company. I'm sure there's an email on the site you can send a message to. Noctua is good with follow up. I know mine came with brackets for both AMD and Intel, but I'm an AMD guy, so I don't know if LGA1700 is one of the Intel brackets this thing supports. Hope that helps. **Q: Any insights from early adopters regarding the coating's longevity? I wonder if it will dry/crack/peel-off after years of use. Thanks** A: I have a feeling that it's anodized aluminum, not a coating, so it shouldn't dry/crack/peel. Just a theory though. **Q: Is this good enough to cool a Ryzen 7 5800X?** A: I have Ryzen 7 5800x and use this version of chromax. You will not be dissappointed. Just make sure your fans pointing correct direction ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ so cold i got frostbite installing it *by A***R on 30 October 2024* probably the best cpu cooler, compact but performs just as good as the d15 without the bulk, they give u splitters and pwm extension cables too which is a nice touch. you should check dimensions though to make sure theres enough clearance in the case/mb ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best cooler I have ever owned *by D***R on 23 September 2023* Keeps my 10850k running all core 5ghz at a 265w work load in upper 80s at max fan speeds Very good not too loud , easy install ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 無音で、冷えて、黒くて、美しい 空冷の完成形 *by X***者 on 8 June 2026* Ryzen 5 5600X のメインPCに使用しています。 半年以上使っていますが、結論は 「空冷の完成形」 だと思います。 ■ 静音性（驚異的） アイドル時は完全に無音。 高負荷時でもケースファンの音に埋もれてしまい、 耳を近づけてようやく「回ってるかな？」と分かる程度です。 静音性を重視するなら、これ以上は求める必要がありません。 ■ 冷却性能 5600Xでは完全に余裕があります。 ゲームやCinebenchなどの負荷でも温度が安定しており、 空冷でここまで冷えるのは本当に優秀だと思います。 ■ 取り付けやすさ SecuFirm2 の固定方式は相変わらず完璧です。 ネジの締め込みトルクも均一で、 「これ一生使えるな」と思わせる安定感があります。 ■ 外観 黒一色で統一されており、 ケース内の雰囲気が一気に引き締まります。 派手さはないのに存在感がある、絶妙なデザインです。 ■ 総評 空冷で迷っているなら、5600Xクラスではこれを選べば間違いありません。 “無音で強い空冷” を求める人には最適な一台です。 ## Frequently Bought Together - Noctua NH-U12A chromax.Black, 120mm Single-Tower CPU Cooler (Black) - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive - Samsung 990 PRO SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4, M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq.
