    Davvero imponente, installato su MSI x570 gaming plus e CPU Ryzen 7 3800xt.

    My room is carpeted and has bad air conditioning. My new build always had temperature problems with the CPU (Ryzen 5600X stock cooler gave me 60c on idle, 90-95 on gaming and will throttle due to high temps even when underclocked).

    Sui. Funziona egregiamente bene. E costoso, ma vale ogni centesimo speso

    Vengo de ver cómo morían en 3 años 2 RLs de diferentes marcas, la peor experiencia con diferencia relacionada con un PC... Más feliz que una perdiz con este bicho, acompañado de 2 ventiladores más noctua me dejan un i7-7800x con el turbo boost de intel puesto (OC pero discretito) a 24 graditos.

    Very nice, only issue is one fan had to to raised a bit so is sits above ram. That was the only issue.

    My computer CPU was reaching 100 degree C temps and subsequently ruined a 400 dollar motherboard and that was with water cooling. I am not sure if my water cooler was defective or what. I decide I did not want the complexity of another water cooler breakdown. So, I went with this device.

    2つ付属しているファンが別売にもなっていて、その値段を考慮してさらに静音性、風量を考えるとお得なのではないだろうか。下手な簡易水冷よりは冷えていると思う。

    Devo dire che questo dissipatore è davvero di alta qualità, pure quella delle ventole si può sentire solo al tatto.

    Es el mejor cooler que puede comprarse para un procesador, exelente producto, eso si carisimo, pero pues paga uno por la calidad del producto, por cierto en un setup rojo como el mio, el color no molesta nada.

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.
