> 3 dayI choose to buy this cooler mainly because the performance and the size. I am in the middle of building an itx build. I need an air cooler which can cool 10700k overclocked, this thing did the job. And also this cooler does not conflict the ram stick. Love it.

> 3 dayLa calidad de los materiales es de lo mejor. Viene con montaje para AM4 e Intel. Escribí un correo para que me enviaran el montaje de 90° para AM4 y amablemente lo hicieron. La pasta térmica NTH1 incluida es muy fácil de aplicar y se esparce muy bien

Greater than one weekSehr 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!

> 3 dayFits like a dream, cools like one too! Keeps my husbands 8700k better cooled than his Corsair H115i, with the bonus of being near silent! Plenty of clearance on a mini ITX board, inside of a Fractal Core 500 case.

> 3 dayInstallé avec un i5 13600k sur une Asus Z790 TUF Gaming Z4 et 32 Go de mémoire Corsair , aucun problème de pose. Par contre le silence est impressionnant (et les températures basses) par rapport aux anciens ventilos dil y a une dizaine dannées de la même marque avec du matériel dancienne génération. Ce nest pas donné, mais on peut dormir tranquille ! Je ne regrette jamais des achats Noctua , jusquà présent !

> 3 dayOk, WOW. expensive little fan but you get what you pay for. Sheesh this thing can cool my 5600x CPU so well. Its so bulky but also does pack power. It is relatively quiet for its size and what it does, but its not super duper quiet. It hasnt been long since Ive started using it but I already love it. Keeps my CPU at a cool 52c constantly.
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.
