Who should buy it

Ideal for users building or upgrading a desktop PC with AM5, AM4, LGA1700, or older sockets who need a quiet, reliable cooler. Not suitable for users needing a cooler for non-socket-compatible systems.

Compatibility

Works with AM5, AM4, LGA1700, LGA1851, LGA1954, LGA1156, LGA1155, LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1200 motherboards. Fits most mid-tower cases and ensures compatibility with RAM modules that have tall heat spreaders.

100% RAM compatibility on LGA1851/LGA1700 and AM4/AM5
Due to its asymmetric design, the NH-U12A does not overhang the RAM slots on Intel LGA1851 / LGA1700 / LGA1200 / LGA115x and AMD AM4 / AM5 based motherboards, which ensures easy access to the modules and 100% compatibility with DIMMs that feature tall heat-spreaders
Standing 158mm tall, the NH-U12A is short enough to fit most modern mid- or high-end tower cases. Measuring 125mm wide (including fan and fan clips), the cooler stays clear of the top PCIe slot on most standard ATX or Micro-ATX motherboards, ensuring optimum compatibility with multi-GPU setups.
