I've used Noctua air coolers for many years, and once again they've not let me down. The stock cooler that was included with my 12th Gen i5 12500 was TERRIBLE, with idle temps around 44 degrees C. With this Noctua cooler, my CPU now idles at around 35 degrees and under full load barely goes beyond 54 degrees.

Installation was easy. The motherboard tray in my PC case has a cut-out under the CPU, so I didn't even need to dismantle the system to install this Noctua cooler. The best part was, the thermal compound is already applied to the cooler! I used ArctiClean (available from PB Tech) to remove the original thermal compound from my CPU bef...view more I've used Noctua air coolers for many years, and once again they've not let me down.

The best part was, the thermal compound is already applied to the cooler! I used ArctiClean (available from PB Tech) to remove the original thermal compound from my CPU before installation, though you can easily use normal isopropyl alcohol.

Noise wise, my CPU doesn't put out enough heat to max out the fan, so it runs very quietly (around 50~60% under full load).

I've been using this cooler now for a few weeks and it has been a great improvement from my previous one.
Very fortunate to have picked this cooler up on a sale and have no regrets at all, it has my cpu running a lot lower temps and it runs even quieter too.
I would definitely recommend this cooler to anyone that wants an air cooler than not only runs great temps but is also quiet. I've been using this cooler now for a few weeks and it has been a great improvement from my previous one.

Noctua always makes great products and this is no exception. Keeps the CPU temps down and was super easy to install even the variety of brackets. Thermal paste pre-applied as a bonus as well. One of the few coolers I could fund with LGA 1700 included. Noctua always makes great products and this is no exception.

Noctua is industry leading. Easy install, no issues, very quiet and very cool Noctua is industry leading. Easy install, no issues, very quiet and very cool

Has enough bits and gizmos in the package to suit any installation. Keeps my CPU nice and frosty. Do check the measurements though as it's a chonky beast.

I was using the stock cooler on my 5600x for a while and got around 85 degrees when playing games like valorant, also had idle temps of around 45. After using this cooler, my temps while gaming are high 50's to low 60's and idle temps are around 35. The application is nice and simple and also has a clean look to it. Definitely recommend.

It just works. Worked with new Intel socket right outta the box. Quiet, and cool. It just works. Worked with new Intel socket right outta the box. Quiet, and cool.

Bought this to replace the stock cooler for my r5 3600. Wanted something quieter and more efficient, got both for sure. Dropped 10-15 degrees in all use cases and that's with setting fan curve at 50% up until it hits 60 degrees. Easy to install too, though I did have to take my PC apart.

This cooler is very quiet, and the CPU runs cool under most circumstances. And who doesn't love that Noctua colour scheme! This cooler is very quiet, and the CPU runs cool under most circumstances. And who doesn't love that Noctua colour scheme!
