The NH-U12P continues the legacy of Noctua's classic NH-U coolers, which won over 150 awards and recommendations from leading international websites and magazines. While retaining the successful design and the well-proven SecuFirm™ mounting system, the newest revision has been reworked for enhanced main board compatibility and now comes with Noctua's NT-H1 pro-grade thermal compound. Fitted with the new NF-P12 premium fan, the NH-U12P brings its predecessors' much-acclaimed quiet cooling performance to a whole new level!

12.12.2007: Bjorn3d.com NH-U12P Review
"With everything you need to install this heat sink and run it nice and quiet the bundle for this cooler is excellent."
Test verdict: "This new design seems to really get the job done. Beating out its predecessor by upwards of five degrees is no easy feat, but that is exactly what the U12P has done." (Gregory Gonsowski, Bjorn3d.com) |

02.12.2007: Frostytech.com NH-U12P Review
"These results reaffirm Noctua's position as a maker of great low noise heatsinks for Intel and AMD processors. The Noctua NH-U12P heatsink in particular, with its NF-P12 fan, runs very quiet at full speed and maintains temperatures that keep it in with the top 10 AMD & Intel heatsinks. "
Test verdict: "Noctua have produced a very nice low noise heatsink here. Recommended." (Max Page, Frostytech.com) |

20.11.2007: Overclock3D.net NH-U12P Review
"As you can no doubt see, the Noctua does the best that we've had on our test setup at stock speeds. There was a slightly lower temperature in the room at the time of testing the Noctua (0.9°C cooler than the others), but even factoring this in the Noctua is the clear winner."
Test verdict: "The Noctua NH-U12P performs very well, even against some of the top-rated heatsinks on the market. When I pulled the cooler out of the box I was initially impressed with build quality and then once it was in use I was highly impressed with it's cooling ability, as well as the performance of the excellent NF-P12 fans. Add in the fact that Noctua include some top-end thermal paste and we're onto a winner." (Matt Kemp, Overclock3D.net) |
