> 3 dayLa verdad que me esperaba un mejor resultado para el precio tan elevado, tengo la caja con un airflow tremendo y aun asi con todos los ventiladores a tope y estando en invierno roza los 80, manteniendose medio estable en 77

Greater than one weekDer Preis ist echt Happig, ich habe ihn über einen Warehousedeal bekommen und 79,99 Gezahlt und das ist eigentlich schon zu teuer. Aber man muss zugeben, er ist auch verdammt gut!

Greater than one weekreplaced my corsair 240mm aio due to high noise level ( processor : 9700K 5Gh , 1.37V) , thermals are almost the same but noise level decreased dramatically

> 3 dayEl nivel de ruido para mi gusto es grande. No vale lo que cuesta por lo que no hace. Mi antiguo por 36€ lo hacía mejor y lo he vuelto a montar. Lo tengo en su caja sin usar. El montaje es verdad que no es difícil pero tampoco otra cosa de otro mundo. En general la compra, para mi una decepción.

> 3 dayExcellent cooler! All of Noctuas tower coolers are super easy to install. Does not overhang RAM. Very quiet cooler too! Comes with everything needed including thermal paste, screwdriver, y splitter etc. Overclocked i5-9600k to 5.0ghz and have great temps. Could probably get to 5.2 easily. Under full load from prime95 88 degrees Celsius which normal computing and gaming temps are 35c at idle and no more than 65c under gaming load! Totally recommend!

> 3 dayAfter about a year of use, Im impressed. It is far superior than the stock cooler my CPU came with. Its almost silent, it looks decent (albeit the fans being brown, more on that later!)

> 3 day7700X is running at 90C in COD. The fan covers ram slot 1 and into slot 2 on x670 atx board despite noctua claims. I had to adjust the fan up and move the ram modules. Product over priced.
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.
