> 24 hourI got this Noctua cpu cooler to replace a single fan AIO. The single fan AIO cooler on an ITX build has the temperatures around 55-60 degrees on idle. After hearing a lot of good things about Noctua coolers, I decided to get this. Installation is easy compared to AIOs. I love that the fans are tooless for maintenance cleaning and installation. I have less cable to deal with because there is no RGB light on this, but my case have enough lights to showcase whats inside. Using the Noctua thermal paste, I was able to lower the temperatures to 38-45 degrees on idle. Thats a good temperature on an ITX build on a hot summer day. When playing video games, the cpu temps shoot up to 70 degrees average, and up to 75 on a really hot day. Im curently using Ryzen 9 3900X, which runs hotter than my previous Ryzen 7 2700X.

> 24 hourIt is a Noctua enough said. This thing is amazing, it keeps my Ryzen 9 7950x AM5 at 39 degrees at Idle. Easy to install and very quiet.

> 24 hourExcellent product but I had some troubles while installing the new cooler. The grey spacers that were provided for my AM4 socket didnt fit my system because the heatsink wouldnt reach the mounting bracket no matter how much pressure I applied. So I used the white [AM2(+)/AM3(+)/FM1/FM2] spacers which are slightly taller than the grey ones and the heatsink screwed in properly. I was able to tighten the screws all the way in and the heatsink doesnt move at all.

> 24 hourI had the NH-D15 before and whilst it was excellent at cooling, it was load at times. Due to changing the GPU to vertically mounted I had to change the cooler as the NH-D15 would no longer fit and tried the NH-U12A instead. I wish I had bought this to begin with! The cooling is a match for the NH-D15, but even though it uses 120mm fans instead of 140mm it runs quieter and there are no install problems from its size. Highly recommended
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. |

* In cases with more than 158mm CPU cooler clearance, the rear fan can be moved upwards to make room for memory modules taller than 42mm.
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.
