Noctua today announced the addition of two new coolers intended for the Xeon 5550 series processors. The NH-U12DX 1366 and NH-U9DX 1366 are intended to offer better cooling along with much quieter operation. The coolers come with Noctua's NF-P12 and NF-B9 fans and are designed as a drop-in replacement for the Intel stock coolers using its SecureFirm2 mounting system. Each unit makes use of a copper base and heat pipes and aluminum fins in a tower design capable of accepting two fans. The larger NH-U12DX 1366 stands 155mm and weighs in at 770g with the 120mm fan attached. The smaller NH-U9DX 1366 is designed to fit withing the confines of a 4U server case with a total height of only 122mm. Each cooler feature adapters to run the fans at three different speed levels depending on cooling and noise level requirements. Noctua says both are available now at a MSRP of EUR 56.90/USD 64.90 (NH-U12DX 1366) and EUR 46.90/USD 54.90 (NH-U9XDX 1366).
