Noctua introduces NH-U12P CPU cooler

Vienna, November 20th, 2007 - Noctua presented today the latest model of
its successful NH-U series: The NH-U12P is equipped with the new NF-P12
fan as well as the NT-H1 premium-grade thermal compound and continues
the legacy of Noctua's classic NH-U coolers, which won over 150 awards
and recommendations from leading international websites and magazines.

"We continually work to further improve our successful products",
explains Mag. Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO. "The NH-U12P doesn't only
provide better mainboard compatibility, but thanks to the use of the new
NF-P12 fan as well as the high-grade NT-H1 compound, the NH-U12P also
brings its predecessors' much-acclaimed quiet cooling performance to a
whole new level!"

While retaining the successful design and the well-proven SecuFirm™
mounting system, the NH-U12P offers improved compatibility with
mainboards featuring very high chipset coolers thanks to its raised
fin-stack. The NH-U12P comes with SecuFirm™ mounting-kits for socket LGA
775, AM2 and AM2+. Mounting-kits for Intel Xeon CPUs are available on
request.

Fitted with the high-grade thermal compound NT-H1 and the new NF-P12
fan, which has been specifically developed for high-impedance
applications like CPU cooling, the NH-U12P is a further improvement on
the award-winning performance of the NH-U12F. Due to the psycho-acoustic
optimizations of the NF-P12 fan, the NH-U12P provides the same degree of
quietness that has made the NH-U series so popular among Silent-PC
enthusiasts. The fan's well-proven SSO-Bearing guarantees maximum
long-term stability and in conjunction with the NT-H1 high-end thermal
compound, the NH-U12P is a quality package through and through, ensuring
excellent performance and outstanding quietness for many years.

Price and availability
The NH-U12P will be available on November 28th at a recommended retail
price of EUR 56.90 / USD 64.90.
