Features

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 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, Noctua's proven NT-H1 thermal compound and a full 6-year manufacturer's warranty, 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.


140mm performance in 120mm size

Thanks to its completely revised, thoroughly optimised 7 heatpipe layout, 37% more fin surface area (as compared to the NH-U12S) and a dual fan push/pull configuration that uses the new, state-of-the-art NF-A12x25 fans, the NH-U12A pushes the performance envelope in the 120mm class and can actually match or even outperform many 140mm sized coolers.


100% 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.*


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.


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.


PWM support and Low-Noise Adaptors

The NF-A12 120mm fans supplied with the NH-U12A support PWM for convenient automatic speed control through the motherboard: full performance under load, virtually silent at idle! In addition, maximum fan speed can be reduced from 2000 to 1700rpm using the supplied Low-Noise Adaptors for even quieter operation.


SecuFirm2™ multi-socket mounting system

Noctua's SecuFirm2™ mounting systems have become synonymous with quality, safety and easy installation. Supporting Intel LGA1200, LGA115x (LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155, LGA1156) and LGA20xx (LGA2066, LGA2011-0, LGA2011-3), as well as AMD AM4, AM3(+), AM2(+), FM2(+) and FM1, the SecuFirm2™ mounting included with the NH-U12A is straightforward to install, provides perfect contact pressure and will stand the test of time even under heavy use.


Compatibility with past and future sockets

Thanks to Noctua's SecuFirm™ ecosystem, the NH-U12A can be made compatible with the older LGA1366 sockets using the optional NM-I3 mounting kit, which is provided free of charge. If technically possible, Noctua will also provide upgrade kits for future sockets, which makes the NH-U12A a safe long-term investment.


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.


Soldered interface between heatpipes and fins

With many heatsinks, the fins are press-fitted to the heatpipes. Due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of copper and aluminium, this fit can loosen over years of thermal cycling, which may lead to reduced performance. By contrast, the NH-U12A's fins are soldered to the heatpipes in order to guarantee a superior thermal interface that doesn't deteriorate even after many years of usage.

performs better than my water cooler

Colour: Brown

I replaced a water cooler with this and it was quieter and cooler...water cooling being better than fan is a myth or maybe I just had a cheap water cooler....

Quiet and cool

Colour: Brown

Would liked to have rated this a 4.5 - works great and is very quiet. Only complaint is that installing it is a little weird. The clips holding it to the heat-sink can be fussy to attach (stretching it back and around) - makes it really easy to damage the rubber protectors on the corners.

Super silent, decent performance

Colour: Black

A recently swapped out a number of items in my pc to make it perform better and quieter. With the noctua installed, it runs so quiet I could now hear the sound of my mechanical hard-drive spin up and down (which I subsequently replaced with NVME) From other reviews I was expecting better thermal performance than Im seeing with a 13700KF, however, we are in the middle of summer and it's getting really hot in the room. The asymmetrical design can cause install issues for the ininitiated. I thought I installed it in the wrong way. I flipped it 180 only to find I had it right the first time.

A good solution

This was a good alternative to a water cooled AIO. The only slight problem was that the position of the fan on the ram side of the cooler had to be adjusted to clear the ram.

Compact CPU Cooler with Excellent Performance

Colour: Black

This small, performant CPU cooler is on par with a 280 mm AIO I had previously. I switched out the Noctua fans with two Phanteks T30s and haven't looked back. It's even quieter than the AIO at every load level. The compact design and performance does come at a cost but well worth it.

Great looking, quite and cool.

Colour: Black

Brought this to replace my i712600 stock CPU Fan. The original cooler wasn’t cutting it and hitting 90 degrees even under lite workloads.

The NH-U12A was super easy to install, is super quite in operation and keeping my CPU at under 50 degrees even under very high workloads.

Definitely worth the investment.
