Product Reviews
- “The NH-U12P CPU Cooler is a great choice for anyone out there looking to cool any hot CPU, with the inclusion of the Noctua NF-P12 fan and the new NT-H1 thermal compound this package is going to be hard to beat for price and performance.”
- “Noctua’s flagship NH-U12P is a solid performer in cooling performance and does it with low noise. The fact that it does it with the lowest acoustics that we have measured make it by far the best heatsink we have tested since moving to the TECC testing method. ”
- “With their latest heatsink, Noctua have proven that it is possible to have an all-in-one package for a reasonable price with fantastic cooling, great looking and machined heatsink while making little noise.”
- “For an excellent performance and an almost silent noise output, the Noctua NH-U12P gets a "Best in Class" Award.”
- “There's never been a truer time to cite the old "you get what you pay for" cliché - that little bit of extra performance always costs just that much more, it's the same situation with the Thermalright, and to us it's an investment worth making.”
- “The Noctua NH-U12P is possibly the best heatsink we've tested thus far, rivalling the Thermalright HR-01 Plus for the CPU cooling crown. It excels no matter how much airflow is applied. With our reference fan, its performance scaled very well as the fan speed was decreased, making it a very versatile product for silent PCs.”

Fitted with the new NF-P12 premium fan, the NH-U12P brings its predecessors' much-acclaimed quiet cooling performance to a whole new level!
Four dual heat pipes
Four dual heat pipes, soldered joints and 36 widely-spaced aluminium cooling fins guarantee optimal heat dissipation even at low fan speeds.
Award winning NH-U design
Noctua's NH-U coolers allow for perfect airflow direction and have received more than 150 awards and recommendations from leading international websites and magazines.
NF-P12 premium fan
The NF-P12 has been specifically developed for applications like CPU cooling and brings the performance of the NH-U12 to a whole new level. Thanks to psycho-acoustic optimizations and Noctua's premium-grade SSO-bearing, the NF-P12 achieves exceptional quietness and long-term stability.
Improved compatibility
Thanks to its raised fin-stack, the NH-U12P offers improved compatibility with main boards featuring very high chipset coolers.
SecuFirm™ multi-socket mounting system
Noctua's professional SecuFirm™ mounting system for LGA 775, AM2 and AM2+ provides superior reliability and contact pressure.
Includes Noctua NT-H1 high-end thermal compound
Noctua's NT-H1 is a pro-grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease-of-use and long-term stability.
Xeon Compatibility
Noctua have now increased the compatibility of the NH-U12P with the new Xeon compatible mounting kit. The kit is compatible with Intel Xeon LGA771, mPGA604 and Xeon 5000 and 7000.
