Again, we are basically looking at a cooler with 140mm cooling performance on a 120mm package. Just like what I said with the stand alone NF-A12x25 fans. The same could be said with the acoustics though, so dial it in at your desired RPM if you value acoustics more than cooling performance. Build quality wise, it’s a Noctua. The thing is practically a tank with a 6 year warranty in tow. The Noctua NH-U12A Tower CPU Cooler currently retails at about $99 USD. A price that will net you either an AIO or a Noctua NH-D15 with extra spare cash to boot. With that said, the space you’ll save, RAM clearance and the comparable performance figures to the said items definitely made the NH-U12A a worthy proposal over the two.

"Noctua once again showed us that less is more with the NH-U12A. It is essentially one of their best coolers to date with performance similar to that of the gargantuan NH-D15." (Leo Bien Durana, TechPorn.com)
