Description
The NH-U12A chromax.black is a completely black version of Noctuas whisper-quiet, award-winning NH-U12A Premium Cooler. The successful formula remains unchanged thanks to the same single tower asymmetric heat sink and the configuration with two copies of the flagship NF-A12x25 PWM fan: A unique synthesis of best-in-class cooling performance, excellent quietness and excellent memory, housing and PCIe compatibility. The chromax.black version with its black fan and black coated heat sink combines these advantages moreover with a smart stealth design.
Several times awarded NH-U12A cooler
The NH-U12A has proven in numerous tests that it can outperform many 140mm coolers, but offers the chassis and PCIe compatibility of a 120mm model. This impressive combination of premium cooling performance and outstanding compatibility has brought the NH-U12A awards and recommendations from more than 100 hardware websites and magazines around the world.
Chromax black design
The NH-U12A chromax.black is black from head to toe: With its black coated heat sink, black fans including black anti-vibration pads, black fan clips and black mounting parts it is perfect for all black systems and fits well with other color schemes.
Colour adjustable
With optional NA-HC7 and NA-HC8 cooler covers as well as NA-SAVP1 anti-vibration pads (available in black, blue, green, red, yellow and white), the NH-U12A chromax.black can be easily adapted to any color scheme like black/white or black/red.
140 mm power, 120 mm size
Thanks to the completely revised, further optimized 7-heatpipe design, 37% more fin surface compared to the NH-U12S and the new, trend-setting NF-A12x25 fan in a push/pull Dual configuration, the NH-U12A can not only set new best marks in the 120mm class, but can also keep up with many 140mm models and even outperform them.
100% RAM compatibility on LGA1851/LGA1700 and AM4/AM5
Thanks to its asymmetric design, the NH-U12A on Intel LGA1851/LGA1700/LGA1200/LGA115x and AMD AM4/AM5 motherboards does not extend beyond the RAM slots. This not only guarantees easy access to the memory modules, but also 100% compatibility with high heat spoilers.
Classic 120mm tower design for the best housing and PCIe compatibility
With a height of 158mm, the NH-U12A is compact enough to fit into most modern tower chassis without any problems. Due to the width of 125mm (incl. fan and fan clamps), the cooler does not protrude on most ATX or Micro ATX motherboards via the top PCIe slot, so that is ensured the best compatibility with multi-GPU systems.
120mm Dual ventilation with NF-A12x25
The NF-A12x25 is a highly optimized 120 mm fan of the next generation, which sets new standards in terms of silent cooling performance thanks to innovative aerodynamic design measures. The use of this peak fan in a push/pull Dual configuration is one of the key factors for the NH-U12A's superior cooling performance and acoustic efficiency.
PWM support and low-noise adapter
The NF-A12x25 120 mm fans supplied with the NH-U12A support PWM for convenient automatic speed control by the mainboard: Full power under load, practically inaudible in idle mode. In addition, the maximum speed can be reduced from 2000 to 1700rpm with the included Low Noise adapters in order to allow for an even quieter operation.
SecuFirm2™ Multi-socket mounting system
Noctuas SecuFirm2™ assembly systems have become synonymous with quality, safety and easy assembly. The SecuFirm2™ mounting system included in the NH-U12A supports Intel LGA1851, LGA1700 (since 2021), LGA1200, LGA1156, LGA1155, LGA1151, LGA1150 as well as AMD AM4 and AM5 (since 2019). It is easy to install, offers a perfect contact pressure and proves itself even under heavy load for many years.
Offset mounting option for AMD AM5
The NH-U12A chromax.black is equipped with Noctua's offset mounting bridges for AM5, which enable the cooler to be mounted 7 mm to the south side of the socket, thus achieving better contact quality directly above the CCD(s). This improved contact at the processor's hotspot can significantly reduce the CPU temperature, with typical improvements in the range of 1-3°C.
Compatibility with older and future sockets
Noctuas SecuFirm2™ ecosystem makes the NH-U12A compatible with the optional free NM-I3 mounting kit for the older sockets LGA1366 and LGA775. As far as technically possible, Noctua will also offer future socket upgrade sets – so the NH-U12A is a safe long-term investment!
NT-H1 thermal compound
Noctua's renowned NT-H1 is a professional TIM solution that combines minimal thermal resistance with excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability. As a popular choice for over-clocking and enthusiasts around the world, NT-H1 has become an established standard for premium thermal conductive pastes.
Soldering of heat pipes and cooling fins
With many coolers the cooling fins and heat pipes are connected by a simple pressing method. Due to the thermal alternating load and the varying expansion coefficients of copper and aluminum, this connection can loosen over the years and WAS leads to loss of power. With the NH-U12A, however, cooling fins and heat pipes are soldered; WAS enable a better and stable heat transfer over many years.
