Noctua NH-U12A CPU cooler + fan

The 120mm premium cooler NH-U12A forms the latest, fifth generation of Noctuas award-winning NH-U12 series. To get even more performance out of the 120mm form factor, it is equipped with two copies of the particularly quiet flagship fan NF-A12x25 PWM and possesses a completely newly developed heat sink with 7 heat pipes and more surface for even better heat dissipation. In this way, the NH-U12A can compete with many 140mm CPU coolers, but at the same time offers the chassis and PCIe compatibility of the 120mm class. The all-round high-quality complete package is rounded off by the proven SecuFirm2™ multi-socket mounting system and Noctuas renowned NT-H1 quality heat conductive paste. Its first-class cooling performance, excellent compatibility and excellent smoothness make the NH-U12A a real premium solution for the highest demands!Award-winning NH-U12 seriesNoctuas introduced in 2005, the NH-U12 series has received more than 600 awards and recommendations from leading international hardware websites and magazines. The NH-U12A is the latest model of this prestigious series, which has established itself as a reference for quiet 120mm coolers in premium quality.140mm power, 120mm sizeThanks to the completely revised, once again optimized 7-heatpipe design, 37% more surface area of the skin in comparison to the NH-U12S as well as the new, trend-setting NF-A12x25 fan in a Push/Pull Dual configuration, the NH-U12A can not only set new best marks in the 120mm class, but also compete with many 140mm models or even overleaf them.100% RAM compatibility on LGA115x and AM4Thanks to its asymmetric design, the NH-U12A does not protrude from the RAM slots on Intel LGA115x and AMD AM4 motherboards. This not only guarantees easy access to the memory modules, but also ensures 100% compatibility with high heat spreaders. On LGA2066, modules with a maximum height of 42mm should be used, as the rear fan protrudes over the memory banks on the left of the socket.Classic 120mm tower design for best chassis and PCIe compatibilityWith a height of 158mm, the NH-U12A is compact enough to fit easily into most modern tower housings. Due to the width of 125mm (including fans and fan clamps), the cooler on most ATX or Micro-ATX mainboards does not protrude over the top PCIe slot, so that it is ensured for best compatibility with multi-GPU systems.120mm dual ventilation with NF-A12x25The NF-A12x25 is a highly optimized 120mm fan of the next generation, which sets new record in terms of silent cooling performance thanks to innovative aerodynamic design measures. The use of this top fan in a Push/Pull dual configuration is one of the key factors for the superior cooling performance and acoustic efficiency of the NH-U12A.PWM support and low-noise adapterThe NF-A12x25 120mm fans supplied with the NH-U12A support PWM for convenient automatic speed regulation by the mainboard: Full power under load, practically inaudible at idle speed. In addition, the maximum speed can be reduced from 2000 to 1700rpm by means of the supplied low-noise adapter, in order to enable an even quieter operation.SecuFirm2™ Multi-socket mounting system Noctuas SecuFirm2™ mounting systems have become synonymous with quality, reliability and easy installation. The NH-U12A's SecuFirm2™ system supports Intel LGA115x (LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155, LGA1156) and LGA20xx (LGA2066, LGA2011-3, LGA2011-0) as well as AMD AM4, AM3(+), AM2(+), FM1, and FM2(+). It is easy to install, provides optimum contact pressure and also offers a perfect function for intensive use over many years.Compatibility with older and future socketsThanks to Noctuas SecuFirm2™ ecosystem, the NH-U12A can be made compatible with the optional, free NM-I3 mounting kit to the older LGA1366 and LGA775 sockets. As far as technically possible, Noctua will also offer upgrade sets for future sockets – thus the NH-U12A is a safe long-term investment!NT-H1 thermal compoundNoctua's renowned NT-H1 is a professional TIM solution that combines minimal thermal resistance with excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability. As a popular choice for overclockers and enthusiasts around the world, NT-H1 has become an established standard for premium thermal conductivity pastes.Soldering of heat pipes and cooling finsIn many coolers, cooling fins and heat pipes are connected by a simple pressing procedure. Due to the thermal alternating load as well as the different expansion coefficients of copper and aluminum, this connection can loosen over the years, resulting in loss of performance. On the NH-U12A, cooling fins and heat pipes are soldered, which enables a better heat transfer over many years.This text is machine translated.
