NH-D12L chromax.black, low-profile dual-tower CPU cooler (120 mm, black)

Would defo buy again

fits my nr200p case with asus X570i mobo... 5950X running at 100% managed to cool down till 40++ degree.. iam using noctua case fans as well.

Fungerar som tänkt. Enkel att installera.

I'm still running an i7 7700k. No overclock. It works good enough for me for now (waiting to see how Lunar Lake turns out in the next 6-8 months). Had an Intel TS15A cooler which was good enough 5-6 years ago. It has always given me about 90C temps under load. Recently started hitting 100c and throttling hard. Cleaned everything, still happened. Figured maybe it needed to be pulled and re-pasted. But then figured if I'm going through all that, I'll just upgrade the cooler. Went with the NH-D12L simply for the cost/performance ratio and not a size constraint. It's more than adequate for the 7700k. I pulled the Intel cooler off and the paste looked perfect. So I'm not really sure why the recent throttling. My case moves a ton of air. The only thing I can figure is it getting data faster from an NVMe drive upgrade. I put the Noctua on, reassembled, then put it under heavy load and haven't seen more than about 78C max temps. Plus the added benefit of much less fan noise.

qualité Noctua rien dire de plus
