Noctua NH-U12P CPU Heatpipe Heatsink with NF-P12 Fan

Replaced by the Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 Dual Fan CPU Cooler

The NH-U12P continues the legacy of Noctua’s classic NH-U coolers, which won over 150 awards and recommendations from leading international websites and magazines. While retaining the successful design and the well-proven SecuFirm™ mounting system, the newest revision has been reworked for enhanced main board compatibility and now comes with Noctua’s NT-H1 pro-grade thermal compound. 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 optimisations 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. PLEASE NOTE: LGA1366/LGA1156 compatibility is only possible when used in conjunction with the NM-13, available separately.

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.

Reviews

Overclock3D.net

For an excellent performance and an almost silent noise output, the Noctua NH-U12P gets a “Best in Class” Award.
Bit-tech.net

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.
Silent PC Review

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.
