    I was running a 360 aio, and it was loud, but cool. It stopped working so I gave this a shot. Guess what? Idle on water, was 45c. On this? lol 25-26. On load used to be 85c. Now? 55 on prime freaking 95 for 3 hours. Amazing. 6700k but soon I’m getting 9900k and ordered the d15 for that build. Crazy good, follow instructions and you’re good.

    There is cat hair on the fan and is super dusty. I paid a higher price for a new cooler. Not a used one. This is horrible.

    This is replacing my Corsair h80i v2 AIO cooler that was running very loudly after upgrading my GPU to a hotter 3080 Ti. This cooler takes up no more room than the AIO, and less when considering the lack of coolant hoses, while running cooler and quieter. It also has a nice offset design to ensure full access to all RAM slots while mounted.

    This thing is fantastic!! Allows me to overclock my 3700x to 4.4ghz with ease getting scores over 5200 on Cinebench R20 with no stability issues. Amazing product, as to be expected, by Noctua.

    Im here to answer the age old question, will this cooler work for a Rosewill 4u server chassis? The answer is yes (in my case, pun intended). Im blown away that you can fit this much cooling in a 4U chassis. A 5950x is easily tamed by this cooler. Keep in mind theres probably a mm of space between the cooler and lid however, fits my needs perfectly.

    didnt fit my large motherboard easily and also was difficult clipping the side fans on easily

    Started out a build using a cooler master aio. Load temps would be over 90c. Being unacceptable, I purchased my first Noctua cooler and wow what a difference. i5-9600 OC @ 5.1 and full load temps never go above 75c. I guess you can say I am a fan of Noctua now.

NH-U12A HeaderNH-U12A Header

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 compatibility

Standing 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/AM5

Due 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 fans

The 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 compound

Noctua’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.
