Noctua NH-U12A cooler review 4

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.

And here I am still using a CM V6 GT to cool my 8700k and I think its high time I should replace with a potent one, as it's already at 76c on mild overclock (4.3ghz all cores)

Should I get this over Noctua D15? Considering the size of the ram?

Thank you.

If the size is crucial it's really worth considering the NH-U12A. But maybe better check the dimensions, the NH-D15S is very nice in RAM compatibility too :)

I wish you hadnt used a de-lidded cpu for your review, as I don't feel that's representative of what most people would have done with their i7 8700k (myself included). Just seems a strange decision to use a modded part...o_O

The idea behind is that the delidded CPU will present the real thermal performance of the cooler, not limited by the (let's say in a delicate way - bad) paste under the IHS.

Thanks for the advice. Then I shall consider NH-D15S as the price should be close compared to NH-U12A. :)

They've got got all black, all white, and translucent versions in the works.

They had them even last year as "prototypes", not holding my breath

yeah, theres an explanation as to why he used a de-lidded processor in the review, but that doesnt tell me the temperatures I can expect to achieve when using my un-modded processor, which is ultimately what I want (need) to know.

It's really a matter of the CPU you use (each differs, even the TIM under IHS behaves differently), motherboard (the ability to keep the set voltage), chassis (as the airflow is different in most of them) and even things like the temperature in the room :) . It's hard to tell what temps would you have in reality.
