> 3 dayAssez habitué à cette marque depuis un moment, pour ma nouvelle config basée sur un Ryzen 9 3950X sur ASUS TUF B550M, je cherchais donc un ventirad performant.

> 3 dayIf you like functionality and think a huge heat sink looks cooler than some colorful fans then this for you.

> 3 dayEro inizialmente deciso se comprare questo dissipatore o ricomprare un altro NH-D15 ma, vista la dimensione del case, la scelta e stata in un certo senso obbligata. Obbligata sì ma estremamente entusiasta. E un dissipatore molto compatto, facile da montare, che svolge molto, molto bene il suo lavoro anche se alloggiato in case non grandissimi (lho montato in un case CoolerMaster Elite 330. E abbastanza silenzioso: tengo con la velocità delle ventole al massimo, visto che il processore esegue pesanti compilazioni per il 90% del tempo. Non avevo dubbi della qualità di questo dissipatore, come dicevo ho già diversi dissipatori Noctua e sapevo di andare a comprare un prodotto di alta qualità e molto efficente. Dentro la confezione ce tutto: un tubettino di pasta da applicare, riduttori di velocità di rotazione delle ventole, attacchi per i vari socket e un cacciavite. Ottimo, ne ricomprerei uno anche subito in caso di bisogno per un nuovo pc.

> 3 dayPiazzato su una MSI MAG B650M MORTAR WIFI Micro ATX coricata (orizzontale) dentro quel cubetto del thermaltake core v21, raffresca senza problemi un Ryzen 9 7950X che arriva tranquillamente a 5,8 MHz e segna punteggi Aida e Cinebench in linea con quelli dei test online. Qualche ventola qua e la per aiutarlo a smaltire.

> 3 dayThis 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.
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.
