> 3 dayProvengo da un ND-H15 am4: vi dico subito che in iddle non ha le stesse potenzialita e basta aprire una pagina web per salire a 40 gradi stabili. Sotto sforzo si comporta bene, mai come il fratello maggiore ma e un buon compromesso se si cerca qualcosa di più adatto ai piccoli spazi. Quello che e veramente sbagliato eil prezzo di 99,90 euro, per questo prezzo mi aspettavo almeno le stesse prestazioni del ND-H15. Vedremo come si comportera in estate con temperature piucalde. Aggiornero...

Greater than one weekI was nervous about installing this because it was my first time installing a large heatsink. Never took the motherboard out and had no problems at all. The fans confused me at first as to how to get them back on but I figured it out. Wayyy better than water cooling

Greater than one weekExpensive but worth it. Keeps my i7 7700k at no more than 70c in load. I especially like the fans, super quality. Thank you noctua for fast and cheap shipping.

> 3 dayil dissipatore si presenta in una modalità compatta , facile da installare sulla asus z97 pro gamer, lga 1150, il processore i7 4790K deliddato e con dissipatore di fabbrica (di un i5 ma credo che siano gli stessi) mi dava circa 60 ° in bf5 con clock a 4ghz , con il noctua tutto è cambiato! mi da 35° al massimo con clock a 4.4 ghz . Sono rimasto veramente impressionato. I soldi spesi li vale tutti !!

> 3 dayBased on its reputation, I bought this to replace the stock Wraith Prism cooler that came with my original CPU when I upgraded to a hotter, new AMD chip. This reputation is earned.

> 3 dayIts Noctua. They have established the bar for computer fans and this does not deviate from their quality standard. But if youre comparing this with other cooler from Noctua or other quality brands and are hung up on the one fan or two fan thing, lets think about that for one minute.

> 3 daySehr leicht zu montieren, und auch nicht so groß wie der D15. Viel Platz für RAMs, Grafikkarte, Luftzirkulation. Die 30€ mehr zahle ich gerne. Spitzen Kühler, nicht ganz billig, super Kühlleistung fürs Overclocking. Und leise!
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.
