Disclaimer:
We create and update our compatibility lists with the utmost care. Unfortunately, mainboard manufacturers tend to change certain components and heatsinks without pointing it out by using corresponding revision names. If you run into problems while installing our coolers on one of the mainboards listed as being compatible, please don't hesitate to contact our support team at support@noctua.at.

Please also keep in mind that other components such as narrow or small cases as well as memory modules with special (higher) heat-spreaders can cause compatibility-issues.

28.07.2010 - DreamwareComputers.com NH-U12P SE2
Test verdict: "After testing the NH-U12P SE2, this cooler has now found a permanent home in my system. I'm a silent PC component fanatic and this is simply the quietest CPU cooler I have laid hands on to date. Not only is it the quietest, but it's the highest performing cooler I've ever tested in the way of silent CPU cooler products." (Steve Blackwell, DreamwareComputers.com)

Test verdict: "Au final c'est bien sûr un CDH d'Or que nous attribuons au NH-D14 de Noctua, qui cumule une conception soignée et des performances de haut vol, sans pour autant négliger le silence grâce à des modules ULNA fournis permettant d'obtenir un rapport refroidissement / bruit."
