As the Noctua NH-U12A represents an ‘upgrade’ on the previous model, this indicated something rather interesting. Put simply, Noctua would not have released this unless the performance gain offered was notably better.
As such, the test results clearly reflect this. Put simply, the Noctua NH-U12A is one of the best air-coolers currently on the market!
As can be seen in both our stock and overclocked performance figures, it easily handled everything that was thrown at it while keeping the CPU cool and itself surprisingly quiet!
It should be noted that this is not as quiet as you might have expected. Remember though, this is a dual fan design and, for such a relatively small cooler, clearly has to work a little hard to make these fantastic temperature results possible!
