    Noctua intros new AMD Opteron coolers with G34 support


    Vienna, December 7th 2010 - 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).

Test verdict: "Ce que nous pouvons dire c’est que ce petit Noctua sera le compagnon idéal des cartes mères mini-itx couplées à un processeur Intel à faible consommation et placées dans un boitier exigu. Il s’adressera aux perfectionnistes exigeants quant à la qualité des composants de leur système. Des systèmes Home Cinéma principalement, mais aussi un petit serveur ou un nettop."

Test verdict: "En rigtig lækker køler fra Noctua, kvalitet hele vejen igennem. Køleren leverer en fremragende ydelse samtidigt med at holde lydniveauet helt i bund. Køleren kommer desuden med et pænt bundle og Noctua leverer gratis monteringskit til Intels socket 775 og 1366 da dette ikke er med i pakken. Leder du efter en suveræn køler af høj kvalitet samtidigt med at din PC ikke larmer som en rumraket, så er Noctuas NH-U12S et udmærket valg." (Lynge Poulsgaard, HwT.dk)
