> 24 hourHo acquistato questo Noctua NH-U12A per raffreddare un Intel Core i7 10700K e dopo più di un mese di utilizzo intensivo (soprattutto gaming 4K) sono veramente impressionato dalle sue prestazioni. La massima temperatura della CPU è stata 50 gradi. Merito delle due ventole Noctua NF-A12X25 in modalità push-pull e dellarchitettura del dissipatore. Permette inoltre di montare le RAM più alte o quelle con LED RGB senza difficoltà. Linstallazione è semplice grazie ai manuali e la pasta termica inclusa è di alta qualità. Peccato per il colore delle ventole che forse sostituirò con le versioni nere quando finalmente saranno in commercio, ma questo è solo un vezzo estetico. Sicuramente è un prodotto da consigliare a mani basse. Costa un po ma il rapporto dimensioni-prestazioni non ha rivali. Servizio Amazon preciso e puntuale come sempre.

> 24 hourThis cooler works just as well as the larger models but leaves plenty of space to still see your RGB memory and other affectations on the motherboard. Would gladly recommend to others.

> 24 hourThis cooler is very strong and hardly makes any noise keeping a 3950X cool under load. These are a lot smaller than the 140mm designs and despite that they perform like a 140mm class cooler.

> 24 hourBased on its reputation, I bought this to replace the stock Wraith Prism cooler that came with my original CPU when I upgraded to a hotter, new AMD chip. This reputation is earned.

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.
