Tech-Legend - Noctua NH-U12A
The Noctua NH-U12A is the answer offered by Noctua to those that wanted a performance similar with that of the NH-D15, but with a smaller footprint.
..
In conclusion, the Noctua NH-U12A is ideal for smaller systems that require a good CPU cooler that will also have a low noise output. The main purpose of this cooler is to offer as much clearance as possible, for both the RAM and PCIe slots of the motherboard, and it does that with ease.

The PC Enthusiast - Noctua NH-U12A CPU Cooler
I’m very impressed with the performance of the Noctua NH-U12A overall. As you have seen in our test results, it was able to rival an AIO liquid cooler. ....
The NF-A12X25 PWM fans are quite impressive as well. They perform quite well while staying almost inaudible most of the time. It is a very silent fan indeed, and I hope Noctua would produce a black version of this fan.

TweakTown - Noctua NH-U12A CPU Cooler
The NH-U12A does what it says, and can compete with coolers much larger and with larger diameter fans. However, the cost is a premium some may not be willing to spend when better performance can still be had for quite a bit less!

Vonguru - Noctua NH-U12A, the best cpu cooler in 120 mm?
Noctua, with this NH-U12A, once again gratifies us with an excellent product that has been very successful during the tests ! This radiator, combining two excellent 120 mm fans, can really compete with the 140 mm versions which always bring their lots of incompatibilities, most often with memory modules. What is quite bluffing and shows the evolution of recent years is the potential of fans . The two NF-A12x25s that equip the NH-U12A are powerful while being quiet. Not long ago, if you wanted performance, you had to opt for turbines but your ears could not stand after a few hours.
This is certainly one of the best solutions for those with reduced cooling space. The Noctua NHU12A does the job and the best way while keeping controlled noise !

...The deployed artillery allows the NH-U12A to deliver a very good performance for a 120 mm model. If you are looking for performance in a "reduced" space, this model is in a good position to seduce you. The noise generated by the cooler is high at full speed as shown in the survey. However, they remain perfectly mastered. Even loud and largely audible, the noise is not a problem....
PC-Max - Noctua NH-U12A
Noctua macht es wieder: Ein top verarbeiteter Kühler, in dem viel Effort des Herstellers steckt, dazu mindestens genauso gute Lüfter - das zusammen ist eigentlich genug. Doch mit dem bekannten und einfachen SecuFirm2-Montagesystem setzen die Österreicher das I-Tüpfelchen. Beim NH-U12A handelt es sich um einen Kühler der Spitzenklasse, der sich - wie vom Hersteller großspurig angekündigt - auch mit deutlich voluminöseren Kühlern messen kann. Wer einen schmalen Tower, einfach eine hohe Kühlleistung oder schlichtweg das jüngste Produkt von Noctua aus dem Kühlerangebot will, kommt am NH-U12A nicht vorbei.
