Noctua NH-U12A Premium 120mm CPU Cooler with two Quiet NF-A12x25 PWM Fans

The NH-U12A is the latest; 5th generation of Noctua's award-winning 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 seven 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.

Award-winning NH-U12 series First introduced in 2005; Noctua's NH-U12 series has won more than 600 awards and recommendations from leading international hardware websites and magazines. The NH-U12A is the latest addition to this prestigious series that has established itself as a benchmark for premium-quality quiet 120mm coolers.0% RAM compatibility on LGA115x and AM4 Due to its asymmetric design; the NH-U12A does not overhang the RAM slots on Intel LGA115x and AMD AM4 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. If that is the case; the rear fan can be moved upwards to make room for memory modules taller than 42mm.
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.
Classic 120mm tower size for excellent case and PCIe 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.0mm performance in 120mm size Thanks to its completely revised seven 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.
