Noctua NH-U12P heatsink unveiled

A couple of months ago I reviewed the Noctua NH-U12 heatsink, this cooler performed pretty well and was very silent. Today the firm informed me they've released a new processor cooler: the NH-U12P.

This new heatsink features the new NF-P12 fan from Noctua and ships with their new NT-H1 thermal compound.

While retaining the successful design and the well-proven SecuFirm mounting system, the NH-U12P offers improved compatibility with mainboards featuring very high chipset coolers thanks to its raised fin-stack. The NH-U12P comes with SecuFirm mounting-kits for socket LGA 775, AM2 and AM2+. Mounting-kits for Intel Xeon CPUs are available on request.

Fitted with the high-grade thermal compound NT-H1 and the new NF-P12 fan, which has been specifically developed for high-impedance applications like CPU cooling, the NH-U12P is a further improvement on the award-winning performance of the NH-U12F. Due to the psycho-acoustic optimizations of the NF-P12 fan, the NH-U12P provides the same degree of quietness that has made the NH-U series so popular among Silent-PC enthusiasts. The fan's well-proven SSO-Bearing guarantees maximum long-term stability and in conjunction with the NT-H1 high-end thermal compound, the NH-U12P is a quality package through and through, ensuring excellent performance and outstanding quietness for many years.

The NH-U12P will be available on November 28th at a recommended retail price of 56.90EUR ($64.90).
