> 3 dayVery loud at full speed. Had to use included low noise adapters, which dropped the fans speed to about 1700 RPM. Made it OK sound wise. Cooling was not affected on my Ryzen 5950X. Noctua NH-U12A cannot keep up to the demands of the hot CPU, temps are fine under medium load, but are pushing 85 to 90 C under heavy load, all 16 cores at max, default settings, not overclocked. I use it for data science computations, not some bench marking tests. Not a gamer. I know the CPU is designed to push the thermals to 90C, but I am a little uncomfortable running it at 80C+ for many hours. Overall I feel this cooler has been over hyped by the reviewers. It is all quality and nicely made and packaged, so I can see it being superb under less demanding installs.

> 3 dayabsoluter Spitzenkühler mit allem dabei was man braucht. Er ist zwar teuer aber diese Leistung für die Größe kann kein anderer. Kühlt meinen Ryzen 9500x absolut zuverlässig ohne das ich so einen riesigen schweren Trümmer einbauen musste. Ich mag einfach die Optik von Luftkühlern.

> 3 dayDer Kühler wurde gut verpackt und schnell geliefert. Kühlt einen Ryzen 9 3900X problemlos und bleibt dabei relativ leise - ein gelungenes Update zum Serienkühler. Man sollte allerdings genügend Platz im Gehäuse haben - unbedingt vorher ausmessen.

15-11-2024Ero inizialmente deciso se comprare questo dissipatore o ricomprare un altro NH-D15 ma, vista la dimensione del case, la scelta e stata in un certo senso obbligata. Obbligata sì ma estremamente entusiasta. E un dissipatore molto compatto, facile da montare, che svolge molto, molto bene il suo lavoro anche se alloggiato in case non grandissimi (lho montato in un case CoolerMaster Elite 330. E abbastanza silenzioso: tengo con la velocità delle ventole al massimo, visto che il processore esegue pesanti compilazioni per il 90% del tempo. Non avevo dubbi della qualità di questo dissipatore, come dicevo ho già diversi dissipatori Noctua e sapevo di andare a comprare un prodotto di alta qualità e molto efficente. Dentro la confezione ce tutto: un tubettino di pasta da applicare, riduttori di velocità di rotazione delle ventole, attacchi per i vari socket e un cacciavite. Ottimo, ne ricomprerei uno anche subito in caso di bisogno per un nuovo pc.

> 3 dayHo acquistato il Noctua NH-U12A per sostituire un Corsair Hydro H80i-v2 al quale si è guastata la pompa.
The NH-U12A is the latest, 5th generation of Noctua’s NH-U12 series of 120mm size premium-quality quiet CPU coolers. Conceived to push the envelope of the 120mm form factor, it combines two of Noctua’s flagship model NF-A12x25 PWM 120mm fans with a completely redesigned heatsink featuring 7 heatpipes and an increased fin surface area for superior heat dissipation. This way, the NH-U12A can rival the performance of many 140mm size coolers while offering 120mm class case and PCIe compatibility. Topped off with the trusted, pro-grade SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-U12A is a deluxe choice that combines top-tier performance with excellent compatibility and outstanding quietness of operation.

Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibilityStanding 158mm tall, the NH-U12A is short enough to fit most modern mid- or high-end tower cases. Measuring 125mm wide (including fan and fan clips), the cooler stays clear of the top PCIe slot on most standard ATX or Micro-ATX motherboards, ensuring optimum compatibility with multi-GPU setups. |
100% RAM compatibility on LGA1700/1200 and AM4/AM5Due to its asymmetric design, the NH-U12A does not overhang the RAM slots on Intel LGA1700 (LGA17xx family)/LGA1200/LGA115x and AMD AM4/AM5 based motherboards, which ensures easy access to the modules and 100% compatibility with tall heat-spreaders. On LGA2066, the rear fan will overhang the RAM slots on the left-hand side of the socket, so RAM modules should not exceed 42mm in height.* |
Dual NF-A12 120mm fansThe NF-A12x25 is a highly optimised next-generation 120mm fan that integrates Noctua’s latest innovations in aerodynamic engineering in order to achieve an unprecedented level of quiet cooling performance. Using this elite-class fan in a push/pull dual fan configuration is one of the cornerstones of the NH-U12A’s commanding performance and acoustic efficiency. |
NT-H1 thermal compoundNoctua’s much-acclaimed NT-H1 is a pro-grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability. Chosen again and again by overclockers and enthusiast users worldwide, it has established itself as a benchmark for premium-quality thermal compounds. |

140mm performance in 120mm size
Thanks to its completely revised 7 heatpipe layout, 37% more fin surface area and a dual fan push/pull configuration that uses the new, state-of-the-art NF-A12x25 fans, the NH-U12A can actually match or even outperform many 140mm sized coolers.
