The Noctua NH-U12A is a high-end, tower heatsink and fan cooling system. It is thicker and has more heatpipes than the less expensive NH-U12S, providing better heat dissipation for high-end processors. The included fans are also more powerful than previous Noctua models, while still maintaining very low-noise operation even at maximum load. In fact, the fans are so good that we have found a single fan does just as good of a job at cooling as two in a push-pull configuration, and since the second fan can block access to RAM slots on some motherboards, we only install one of the included fans.
William George (Go-To-Market (GTM) Manager) Says:
Noctua fans and heatsinks are of the highest quality, and extremely quiet. This particular model has a beefy heatsink and uses the latest Noctua fans, which push even more air than past designs without increasing the noise level. This variant works with current Intel Core Ultra processors as well as AMD Ryzen models.
