> 24 hourProvengo 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...

> 24 hourCe ventirad fonctionne très bien : fabrication dexcellente qualité, extrêmement silencieux, très bonne performance de refroidissement sur un Intel Core i7-12700. Le montage est néanmoins un peu délicat en upgrade, car il nécessite de démonter la carte mère pour installer la platine et les vis par le dessous. Point positif : certains articles sur le net mentionnent une incompatibilité avec les cartes Asus. En réalité, parfaitement adapté à ma carte mère Asus ProArt Z690 Creator Wifi. Il aurait été difficile de monter un ventirad plus imposant dans ma configuration, donc meilleur rapport performance/encombrement. Très satisfait du produit.

> 24 hourObwohl er teuer war, bin ich mit der Leistung des CPU-kühler sehr zu frieden. Der Einbau war sehr leicht. Der ryzen 7 5800x bleibt konstant kühl und stürzt nicht ab und wird auch nicht langsamer

> 24 hourFour years ago when I upgraded my computer with an i7 5820k processor and other components I thought I would like to have the best cooling possible so I bought a liquid AIO CPU cooler (Silverstone TD02-E). I wondered how long it would last and it was about four years till the water pump must have quit. This whole time I thought it was working pretty good. Fans in the Cooler Master HAF 922 case were clearly audible but I didnt think they were too noisy. The other day the computer started running hot and thats when I realized that was it for the water pump.
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.
