Greater than one weekJust got a new I7 12700k, and keeping it cool has been a nightmare. I had tried everything, and 2 coolers prior to this one. I was prepared to give up, even after my hard work. Then I bought this. Took my gaming temps from 75 degrees C, to 58-60C. I cannot recommend this enough. The magic is in the large plate, and the large amount of heat pipes compared to a lot of other coolers. Though the 2 strong fans certainly do their part too.

> 3 dayUsed to cool a Ryzen 7 3700X with PBO enabled. Manages to keep the CPU around 80 degrees while running Prime95 at 80% fan speed and around 66 while gaming with fans at 50%. The Ryzen Zen2 CPUs are known to be a little hotter than usual so as much as 80 sounds high, this only occurs during a synthetic load benchmark. For reference, 3* 120mm case fans are all running around 850RPM to keep my PC as silent as possible at all times so theres not a huge amount of fresh air getting into the case.

> 3 day3900x with PBO, slightly higher all core clock speed than stock wrath prism cooler. Noise can be heard at full speed but much much quieter than stock cooler of course.

> 3 dayMe encanta este disipador, si que puede poner a margen a mi ryzen 9 3900x, noctua si que cumple con lo que dice, y es totalmente silencioso, es casi inexistente el sonido, valio cada centavo de mi dinero, y recomendaria a quien fuese este noctua nh-u12a

> 3 dayI was in the middle of building a couple new higher-end PCs for my job, and there seemed to be a shortage of AIO liquid coolers, I have mainly used the Corsair H100 models, but was having a hard time finding any in stock.
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.
