Going into this review, from the time I opened the box until I verified my first performance numbers I wasn’t sure how the NH-C12P would perform. Maybe it was the change in design of the fact that we just tested two remarkable coolers, but I didn&rs...

INTRODUCTIONNoctua is renowned for its line of processor coolers and high performance computer fans. Like Dior, Chanel, Ferrari of this world, top quality products carry a premium with them. This is well justified at times and in the case of Noctua that i...

Superb Performance, Excellent Build Quality, Extremely Quiet Fans, Super Easy installation thanks to the SecuFirm 2, Top-Notch Packaging and Accessories, Six Heatpipe Design, Low-Profile Ready (NH-C14), Provides Additional Cooling Around The CPU Region, 6
Pricey, Color scheme might be a con for some, No Room For Second Fan In Push/Pull Config (NH-C12P SE14), Might Interfere With Tall RAM Modules (NH-C12P SE14), Not PWM Fans
People recognize Noctua products when they see one because of the color scheme that they use on their fans and that's what makes Noctua unique from different manufactures. Noctua has gained a lot of positive recognition in the cooling market because of th...
After putting the NH-C12P (SE14) through its paces in our thermal tests we can make an informed decision, its strenghts are definitely the included silent fan with options to reduce rotation speed even further, good platform compatability and solid mo...
Quiet and has variable speed control, Competitive cooling, Copper based with 6 large heat pipes, Comes with a tube of NTH1,
Difficult to install
NH-C12P is a very well build product with alot to offer to is users. Over all experience was very pleasant with Noctua NH-C12P and this is the first time i have seen a CPU cooler as big as this. Installation of NH-C12P was not an easy one. You are requ...
Excellent mounting system - very secure fit, U.L.N.A. & L.N.A. adapters are a cool idea to lower the noise even further, CPU cooler price is reasonable, Intel LGA775 and AMD AM2/AM2+/AM3 mounting hardware included
Color scheme on fans isn't appealing to everyone, Might need to mount the fan after installing the cooler in small cases, FLX fan price is a little on the high side, Intel LGA1156/LGA1366 mounting hardware is available by request only, Fan is quiet enough for most people to not need the U.L.N.A. & L.N.A. adapters
The Noctua NH-C12P CPU cooler and NF-S12B FLX Fan wound up being a perfect choice for the small form factor system I was assembling, and would probably be a great choice for many others. It was a tight fit, but there were a few millimeters to spare in...
Noctua NH-C12P is a CPU cooler with an excellent construction quality, with thick and solid fins just like its "brother" NH-U12P. The silentful fan is also the same, as well as the holding system. The only difference between them is the heatsink shape:...
If you have a specific need for a very low noise and low profile heatsink there aren't many reasons to opt for the Noctua NH-C12P, unless you fancy it for an AMD setup.If you're after a quick fix for the summer heat, as much as we love what Noctua prod...
Good performance, Great build quality, Reasonable quiet, Attention to Detail, Includes NFP12 and NTH1
Expensive
I have yet to review a poor or badly made Noctua product and the trend continues here. There are really not any faults. Yes, it’s very expensive and pretty big so might not fit too well in smaller chassis, but when you look at the overall performanc...
Abstract: The Intel Core i7 platform includes a larger CPU socket that forces you to get a new CPU cooler. The task of picking out the right cooler can be daunting, so we figured that we'd give you all the information in one article to make the task of findin...
