> 3 dayI am absolutely amazed with the NH-U12A. I searched for a CPU cooler that has plenty of heat pipes and surface area while being compatible with the rest of the build and this cooler hits all the marks. Not only is it a single tower cooler it is compact and has the surface area to cool. It is also extremely quiet! I am happy I finally went Noctua and found this gem. Honestly the price scared me a little at first but now that I have it and see what it does I think its worth it. Amazing engineering Noctua!

> 3 dayNach CPU-Upgrade auf einen Intel i7700k (von einen Pentium G4560) bin ich erst mal mit meinem bewährten Alpenföhn Ben Nevis geblieben; bis ich dann irgendwann gemerkt habe, dass die Kombination nicht wirklich sinnvoll ist. Ein paar YouTube-Testvideos später hab ich mich dann für den Noctua NH-U12A entschieden, zum Einsatz in einem Corsair-Gehäuse.

Greater than one weekOn the ASUS Pro Art Z690 with G.Skill DDR5 memory, the memory is quite high off the motherboard. At first it looked like the fan was getting in the way. The fans are a little bigger than the radiator, and it was easy to move the memory-side fan up about an 1/8 to get clearance while still fully covering the radiator. I havent stressed the CPU too much yet but it is a very quiet setup. When I have things going on, as I still havent got around to putting the side back on the case, I dont hear it, I just feel the breeze from the fan.

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.
