        Very efficient and quiet.

        Very efficient and quiet, I'm very satisfied.
        When I was installing it, I could feel that it was robust and that the materials used were of high quality.
        Fits perfectly into my Cooler Master Q500L tower. The dimensions are perfectly respected.

        I'd recommend it.

        Nickel

        The NOCTUA NH-U12A has nothing left to prove! It does its job well without making too much noise.
        It's only the price that remains high for 2023 I think.

        Efficient ventirad

        I'm happy with this efficient ventirad, as I'm not a fan of watercooling, I wanted a ventirad powerful enough to cool my Ryzen 9 5950x.
        All in all, it does the job well and I've got some room for manoeuvre in the future.
        My old cooler master half x case also helps, as does my air conditioning.

        Perfect: efficient and quiet

        Used with an AM4 socket. The assembly instructions are very clear and the assembly is easy.
        The noctua website has a very good interface to find out which motherboards, processors and cases their cooling systems are compatible with, so I didn't have to get the calculator out =)
        Cools my processor very well and very quietly.

        Silence, it's fresh!

        Easy to install and very efficient: in high definition gaming, the proc never reaches 50° (in a well ventilated Be quiet case) and no noise!
        This is my third Noctua and I am never disappointed with them.

        Perfect

        The product is well packaged, the necessary for the assembly is included in the kit, and the installation instructions explain everything, which can be followed without any problem. The system of fixing the two fans is at the top level with a simple pressure you undo the fan which is also easily put back;

        I use it on an Intel Socket 1200 processor, no problem for the installation, the cooling is done silently, ideal for those who want an efficient and silent cooling on a large configuration.

        Beautiful and efficient beast

        Beautiful, first Noctua replacement for an Enermax Liqfusion 240, well, the piece does just as well or even better under full load under Prime95 with a Ryzen 3600 at 4.2 Ghz -_-' and a little more it makes less noise than before :D
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one, and I'm sure it's a good idea to buy a new one.

        Excellent Ventirad

        It is suitable for the 9700 K. It is less suitable for the overclocked 9900 K (it depends on the model). In short, I use it with a 9700. All the non-K range will be very comfortable with this one. It is expensive but the quality is excellent.

        Topissime

        Replaced an unsatisfactory liquid cooling system (although branded).
        Super easy to install. The 120mm fits perfectly on the CM (MSI listed in Noctua's compatible models), which comes with a good thermal paste.
        The fans are in Smart mode, my i7 7700K runs at 25° ç 4.2Ghz,
        OC at 4.8 on the 4 cores, it does not exceed 70° under bench stress. That is 12° less than before at 4.6Ghz.
        All this in a great silence at rest.
        You can't hear the GPU fans in full boost!
        I've been using it for a while now, but it's still a good idea to check it out.

        Highly efficient

        Easy to assemble. The included allen key is very handy. My RAM is not in lowprofile and I can put 4 bars if necessary. Its size does not interfere with other components. Used to cool a Ryzen 3950X. So far, I have not exceeded 75 degrees under heavy use. Even at full power it's not that noisy.

        Powerful

        +: Efficient, quiet and solid looking.
        Neutral: really big (so check the case
        - To fix it, you still have to force the screw on the second side. It's harder than on the video. The colour of the fans is not very well chosen (chocolate brown) but it's not serious.

        Perfect

        Replaces the standard AMD fan tray

        Very efficient even under full load, processor temperature does not change much

        and it is very quiet

        Colder than sub-zero

        With a core i9 9900k @ 5ghz I do not exceed 75 degrees under occt linkpack. In game no more than 50 degrees during long sessions. It installs very easily and takes up much less space than a noctua ndh 15 for similar performance. The price is a bit of a drawback, but it's still the best alternative to a wc aio for those who want to stay in air cooling.
