CPU cooler for Intel and AMD sockets with mounting kit for Intel socket 1700
As part of Noctua's renowned NH-U12 series, which has received more than 600 citations and recommendations from international magazines and websites, the Noctua NH-U12A proudly represents the 5th generation of 120mm fans.The NoctuaNH-U12A proudly represents the 5th generation of 120mm fans. Thanks to its innovative radiator design and 7 heatpipes, it performs as well as most 140mm models while maintaining excellent hardware compatibility thanks to its 120mm format.Equipped with two 120mm NF-A12 fans, theNH-U12Acooling system is supplied with NT-H1 high performance thermal paste, comes with a full 6 year manufacturer's warranty and has been designed to meet the needs of the market.The NH-U12A is supplied with NT-H1 high performance thermal paste and comes with a full 6 year manufacturer's warranty, making it a high quality solution that combines performance, silence and excellent compatibility for both new and older Intel and AMD systems.
The included Noctua NM-i17xx-MP78 mounting kit allows the cooler to be installed on motherboards with the Intel LGA 1700 socket.
Many coolers have heat sinks that are press-fitted onto the heat pipes. Due to the thermal expansion differences between copper and aluminium, this junction can become brittle over time and thermal cycling, resulting in a drop in performance. In contrast, the NH-U12A's heat sinks are soldered to the heat pipes to ensure constant heat conduction even over the long term.
At 158mm high, the NH-U12A is low enough to easily fit into most of today's mid to high-end enclosures. With a total width of 125mm (including fan and clips), the fan is kept away from the PCIe slots on most ATX or micro-ATX motherboards, offering optimal compatibility with multi-GPU configurations.
TheNF-A12x25 is a new generation 120mm fan with the latest Noctua innovations in aerodynamics for unprecedented levels of cooling and silence. Leveraging the strengths of this high-end fan in a push/pull configuration is the key to the superb acoustic and thermal performance delivered by the NH-U12A.
The 120mm NF-A12 premium fan supplied with the NH-U12A is PWM-compatible and therefore benefits from automatic speed control via the motherboard: optimal performance or virtually inaudible depending on the processor's demands. In addition, to further reduce noise emissions, the maximum speed can be capped from 2000 to 1700 RPM by connecting the low noise adapter.

Note that the passive part is asymmetrical and thus allows to free the space dedicated to the ram by positioning it in the right direction ;)
(in case like me you hadn't noticed this detail)
This said, excellent material, nothing to say.
