NH-U12A chromax.black
The NH-U12A is already an award winning air cooler from Noctua but the chromax.black took it to the extreme with an additional fan and a more eye friendly aesthetics – I don’t mind the old colorway I swear.
As for specifics, what the chromax.black brought to the table is a combination of excellent thermals and noise levels. While I don’t mind it running at 100% fan speed when the CPU calls for it, the NF-A12x25 fans are efficient enough to run at their 75% most of the time. For your reference, the NH-U12A chromax.black running at 75% RPM and the Dark Rock 4 at 100% RPM has similar noise levels but the former still pulls ahead with better thermals.
"Noctua spared no change into creating a medium sized dual fan tower cooler. It is quite expensive for its category but it is money well spent I must say." (Leo Bien Durana, TechPorn.com)
