> 3 dayI find the manufacturers claim that this 120mm cooler offers 140mm-like performance to be exaggerated. It DOES perform well, in fact its very good within its own category, but when a company claims their product offers performance similar to a higher product category, you probably dont expect them to mean compared to *bad* products in that higher product category, right? So it was my assumption (based on the marketing and price) that Noctua was comparing this new 120mm coolers performance against their own current 140mm products, a comparison which it unfortunately does not live up to.

> 3 dayEasy to install and keeps my Ryzen 5600x cool at 50-52 C under heavy load. The fan does have a slight coil whine at 800-900 RPM but with headphones on you dont notice at all.

> 3 dayChosen for cooling performance and wide compatibility. But a bit overpriced as there are many alternatives that are much cheaper.

> 3 dayIve been using this cooler for the past 7 months on a 10th generation intel processor (i7 10700k). Ive been thoroughly impressed with this cooler, as temperatures average around the 68 degrees celcius to 72 degrees celcius range during extended use. The heatsink design allows for 100% unobstructed view of the RAM slots in most modern motherboards.

> 3 dayThe cooler is very large. Check dimensions before you buy it. I have a large case and the cooler barely fit.

> 3 dayIve always wanted the cooling power of a top-of-the-line Noctua cooler but didnt want half of my build obscured by the massive heatsinks and fans. The NH-U12A fits the bill perfectly! Installation was a snap and the fans are very quiet while keeping my CPU at low temps. Most importantly, my RGB memory sticks are still visible!

> 3 dayGreat step up from my Wraith Spire. My 2600x with PBO/All core boost enabled would run 4.2Ghz with roughly 1.4v running through it.. this made idle temps with the Spire at roughly 52°. These settings were enabled by default when I put the computer together so after hitting almost 88° while playing Siege I decided to turn that crap off and look at a new cooler.

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.
