> 3 dayDoes exactly what it was designed for. D15 performance in a smaller footprint. Fans are super quiet, even in a open air case and at 2000rpms, it’s very quiet.

Greater than one weekEs un excelente disipador, apenas lo sacas de la caja sientes el poder, rendimiento y calidad que tiene. La instalación es relativamente fácil y ni hablar del sonido que produce... es casi inaudible. Lo recomiendo mucho, es un poco costoso pero vale la pena cada dolar invertido. Tu procesador te lo agradecerá

> 3 dayI have this cooling a 5900x. I previously had a D15 and a 2070s with no backplate. However, I recently got a 6800xt with a think backplate and the D15 did not allow me to mount the GPU into the top pcie slot.

> 3 day-20 degrees cooler than the liquid AIO I had installed previously. Easy to mount. 60 c temps at 100 percent cpu usage in stress testing. i7 8700k overclock 5ghz, never seen it go above 55 c while playing Modern Warfare. Great cooling solution if you can fit it. My setup is:

> 3 dayGià dalla confezione capisci di avere a che fare con la semplicità e la cura dei particolari. Poi quando lo monti hai il piacere della razionalità di costruzione, quando avvii il PC scatta lapplauso perché questo prodotto si esprime in tutto il silenzio! Che dire, non sono un nerd ma certe caratteristiche posso apprezzare! Brava Noctua!

> 3 dayAssez habitué à cette marque depuis un moment, pour ma nouvelle config basée sur un Ryzen 9 3950X sur ASUS TUF B550M, je cherchais donc un ventirad performant.

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.
