    You wont find a better air cooler at this size. Perfect for my test bench. Easy to install and doesnt conflict with ram. 3950x Prime 95 AXV enabled full load, with precision boost overdrive yielded roughly 75c. The only coolers better than this are by a few degrees Celsius at twice the size.

    I was running a 360 aio, and it was loud, but cool. It stopped working so I gave this a shot. Guess what? Idle on water, was 45c. On this? lol 25-26. On load used to be 85c. Now? 55 on prime freaking 95 for 3 hours. Amazing. 6700k but soon I’m getting 9900k and ordered the d15 for that build. Crazy good, follow instructions and you’re good.

    An sich ein guter Kühler, trotz der guten Lüfter, Lautstärke und Kühlleistung aber einfach zu teuer für 100€. Kam mit verbogenen Lamellen an, was die Funktion kaum beinflusst, aber sowas darf bei so einem teuren premium Produkt nicht passieren und trotz zwei Anfragen kam keinerlei Reaktion von Noctua, das ist ebenfalls schwach bei dem Preis.

    I was wrong. This cooler is great but it cant handle that much heat without the CPU not boosting as high as it could with a better cooler. Id suggest this for something more reasonable, like a lower wattage CPU. Still, its impressive it can do what it does with a 5900x.

    While I normally use Liquid Coolers, I changed to the Noctua air cooler to use with our new MB. Works GREAT and is really QUIET...

NH-U12A HeaderNH-U12A Header

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.
