    Comme à chaque fois avec Noctua, le produit, les accessoires sont aussi soignés que lemballage. La notice et les schémas de montage sont parfaitement compréhensibles. Cest un peu plus cher que la concurrence, mais cest le meilleur au niveau qualité.

    I have this on my Ryzen 5 5600X overclocking at 4.5mHz and my CPU doesnt get over 50C while doing stress tests. For the size of the heatsink and fan Im very impressed with how well it performs.

    Der Kühler funktioniert sehr gut.Bei geschlossenem Gehäuse sind die Lüfter bei mir nicht zu hören.Die temperaturen sind im normalbetrieb bei meinem 5600x auf ca 42 Grad.Unter last bei 62Grad und selbst dann sind die lüfter sehr leise.Der kühlkörper ist sehr gut verarbeitet

    When I was pulling together the components for my recent computer build, I was toying with the idea of water-cooling the I9 CPU, but opted to try air-cooling first. Enter the Noctua NH-U12A and the online reviews indicated that it was designed to provide better clearance over the taller RAM DIMMs on the market. When I test-fit this cooler onto the I9 mounted on an ASUS ROG Maximus XI Extreme motherboard, it looked like it would indeed mount nicely with some overlap of the RAM DIMM slots. Unfortunately, the forward fan doesnt clear my DIMMs, but there is an interesting workaround. The way Noctua mounts these fans to the radiator, they can be mounted higher and moving the fan up half of an inch up did the trick. Everything fits and works quietly. The only downside was the brown fans and rather than replace these, I mounted a 120mm Phanteks Lux RGB fan frame which plugs into the Aura port on the motherboard and computer case to provide an integrated look and mask that brown fan. As for cooling, I ran some overclocking stress tests on my system and the Noctua air-cooler kept the CPU below 70 degrees Centigrade while overclocking around 5 GHz on the CPU. Your results will vary based on overall airflow through your case, I am using the Phanteks Evolv X with the glass doors closed and having great airflow. One note of caution - the NH-U12A is tall, and by offsetting the front fan higher, you may have clearance problems in a narrower computer case. This offset works fine inside the Evolv X.

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 compatibility

Standing 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/AM5

Due 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 fans

The 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 compound

Noctua’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.
