Overview:

Recommended by more than 150 leading international websites and magazines, Noctua’s NH-U12P series has become a benchmark in premium quality quiet cooling. The new NH-U12P SE2 now comes with two NF-P12 fans for further improved performance and adds support for LGA1156 as well as LGA1366 via the latest SecuFirm2™ multi-socket mounting system. Topped off with Noctua’s award-winning NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-U12P SE2 forms a complete quality package that continues the NH-U12P series’ legacy of superb quiet cooling performance.


Due to its custom backplate, the NH-U12P SE2 is not compatible with Intel’s Xeon 5500 platform. Please choose our NH-U12DX 1366 for use on Xeon 5500 systems. Click here for further information.
