> 3 dayThis air cooler has far exceeded my expectations, I have a i9-9900k and I ran a stress test using AIDA64. my lowest idle was about 33 and highest was 75 at full load, (temps in Celsius). This air cooler is worth what I paid for. Also, I dont have much case fans yet, (still looking for ARGB fans). I highly recommend this Noctua Air Cooler. Since I live in southern California, expect hot ambient temperatures. There is clearance for my ram memory. (In picture attached, the ram closest to the air cooler is the first ram slot, dont mind the wires, Im still cleaning it.)

Greater than one weekSehr leicht zu montieren, und auch nicht so groß wie der D15. Viel Platz für RAMs, Grafikkarte, Luftzirkulation. Die 30€ mehr zahle ich gerne. Spitzen Kühler, nicht ganz billig, super Kühlleistung fürs Overclocking. Und leise!

> 3 daySoy poseedor de varias marcas de disipadores de reconocido prestigio (cooler master, corsair, be quiet, etc) y creo que con esto digo todo, a partir de ahora solo compraré noctua, por calidad de construccion, sonoridad, rendimiento, y facilidad de mantenimiento (limpieza y/o sustitución de ventiladores) practicamente silencio absoluto, un 10...

Greater than one weekCooler was easy to install and is very effective and quiet. Lowered temperature on an overclocked CPU and stopped shutdowns on high temperature. Replaced liquid cooled system with radiators.

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.
