Posted by: Krzysztof Hukalowicz on: 05/28/2019 04:17 PM [ 27 comment(s) ]

Today we are reviewing the newest Noctua cooler, it’s NH-U12A. There is little need to introduce the Austrian company as it’s one of the most recognized in the market. The official presentation of NH-U12A commenced on the 19th of March.

Yeah, fine, just not the same. The fan on this new cooler is supposed to be noctuas new and best 120mm fan.

But yeah, ultimately NHD15 > This , easily.

Great review, as always. Chosing a cooling solution nowadays is a bit hard with the variable prices and flooded market, might I suggest we get more reviews for a better template HH, since there is no other place I trully trust?

If you have room for the NHD15. I personally have the NHD15 with two Phanteks PH-F140MP fans cooling my Ryzen 1800x but i'm sure some builds wouldn't have room for that beast.

This NH-U12A s expensive but man it cools great for its size.

I'd argue not many would go for 100$ cpu cooler that don't have the room. The argument has merit but if you're in the know and on somekinda matx build you're probably looking at different low profile options.

Finally the review i wanted! And i´m very glad to read that the cooler doesn´t disappoint, great performance in such a small size. And yes the price is steep but Noctua compensates this with amazing quality. I´m been using my Noctua U12-SE2, that cost me 70 or 80€, non stop for more than 6/8 years without any issue! Works as good as the first day i started using it! As for the colors i don´t mind them but i agree that Noctua should offer different options because they are losing customers in a silly way...

I think i´m going to buy this beauty.

Great review as always!

By the way i noticed the review was written by a different person, don´t tell you guys finally got tired of Hilbert...
