> 24 hourGià 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!

> 24 hourDoes 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.

> 24 hourCe ventirad est le meilleur de sa catégorie, moi naimant pas trop la gamme chromax ( car jai eu un NH U12S CHROMAX ) quils ont fait je préfère amplement le design classique style marron/beige qui rappelle le style cozy/café/crème et très élégant.

> 24 hourI highly recommend Noctua for their well known fans and heatsink and this particular model was very easy to install. The instructions were very clear and easy to read. I would definitely recommend this Noctua heatsink to someone who is looking to upgrade or looking build a computer.

> 24 hourFor the size I was blown away by how well this cooler works. This keeps my 5900x cool under load and makes barely any sound at all. I am very happy that I chose this over an AIO which I have had issues with in the past.

> 24 hourI bought this cooler to replace my stock Intel CPU cooler after watching a Linus Tech Tips video comparing coolers. The Noctua ones seemed to work better than even some basic liquid cooling systems and I was blown away by the effect in my own computer.

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.
