Noctua Updates NH-U12P Cooler to Include LGA1156 Support

Noctua's venerable NH-U12P CPU cooler has been around since the days of the LGA775 socket and has proven a worthy cooling option for not only Intel processors but the latest from AMD as well. Noctua has been conscientious in keeping its flagship cooler current with upgrades to maintain compatibility with Intel LGA1366 socket processors and has even offered free mounting kit upgrades for various formats including the upcoming LGA1156 socket for the upcoming Intel Core i5 and Core i7 Lynnfield processors.

Noctua has just announced its latest version, the NH-U12P SE2, which supports the LGA1156 socket while also remaining compatible with Intel LGA1366, LGA775 and AMD AM2/AM2+ and AM3 formats. Like the NH-U12P SE 1366 before it, the NH-U12P SE2 comes with everything you need to keep your CPU cool including a tube of NT-H1 thermal compound and a pair of NF-P12 120mm fans.

Look for the NH-U12P SE2 to become available in mid September with a suggested retail price of EUR 56.90 / USD 64.90.
