Noctua reveals two new CPU coolers for AMD's Opteron platform, the
NH-U12DO A3 and
NH-U9DO A3.
Noctua today updated its DO line of CPU
coolers for AMD Opteron based servers and workstations. The new NH-U12DO
A3 and NH-U9DO A3 coolers come with two of Noctua's renowned premium
quality fans, achieve further improved quiet cooling performance and
support AMD's socket G34 platform.
"Our DX and DO line of coolers for Intel Xeon and AMD Opteron have made
a name for themselves in the professional server and workstation market,
but recently, many of our industry clients have requested support for
the latest G34 based Opteron CPUs", explains Mag. Roland Mossig, Noctua
CEO. "The new A3 models now allow us to satisfy this demand and we're
confident that many G34 builders will be relieved to hear that there's
finally a quiet cooling solution for this platform."
The new NH-U12DO A3 and NH-U9DO A3 are based on Noctua's much acclaimed
NH-U series which have received more than 300 awards and recommendations
from the international press. Six heatpipes, a performance optimised fin
stack and an enlarged contact surface suitable for socket G34 CPUs allow
for further improved performance.
Thanks to the new NM-A3 SecuFirm2™ mounting system, the NH-U12DO A3 and
NH-U9DO A3 support both Socket F as well as the newer G34 and C32
sockets. The coolers can be installed rotated by 90° in order to allow
for an optimal positioning and to evade compatibility issues on dual
socket mainboards.
Bundled with two of Noctua's award-winning NF-P12 and NF-B9 premium fans
as well as the industrial-grade NT-H1 thermal compound, the new NH-U12DO
A3 and NH-U9DO A3 coolers form complete premium quality packages for
quietly cooling AMD workstations and servers.
Prices and availability
Both models are available immediately at recommended retail prices of
EUR 56.90 / USD 64.90 (NH-U12DO A3) and EUR 46.90 / USD 54.90 (NH-U9DO A3).
