Noctua NH-C12P Premium CPU Cooler

By Greg Baden (thinkcomputers.org)

Made in Austria is probably not something people are familiar with, but Noctua is trying to change this. Today we are looking at the Noctua NH-C12P Premium CPU Cooler which really is a premium cooler. It's not always easy saying quiet and optimal ...

- Superior cooling, - Very quiet, - Secure hold to motherboard, - Supports all socket types, even i7 (LGA 1366), - 6 year warranty

- Attaching the fan can be annoying, - Fan color may not be appealing to some, - Minor fixable problems with lower PSU cases

While the Noctua NH-C12P probably isn't for everyone it certainly is a great CPU cooler to have. It is probably a worthy investment of around $70 because when you upgrade your system, chances are you don't have an i7 processor, you can use this cooler ...

Noctua NH-C12P CPU Cooler

By Raymond (RaptorFury) Buckland (bjorn3d.com)

In June of 2008 Victor shown you this great cooler on a Intel socket 775 CPU. This time I bring you this CPU cooler on Intels newest CPU socket, 1366. [

Low profile design, Excellent fan noise control, Lightweight design

Over engineered mounting system, Its low profile design may present a problem mounting in certain positions and situations

The only complaint I had was, what I like to call, the "over engineered" mounting system Noctua used with this CPU cooler. Though the instruction booklet was very clear and precise on what to do and at what time and how to do it, a much simpler ...

Works good

By RATTL3R (newegg.com)

Worked great in a nzxt rogue ; Cooling a 9950 be @3.00 averages 50C while crunching ; Blows air directly onto my ram on A Asus m3a78-cm ; Fan could be stronger ; Quiet fan equals not a lot of CFM

None really except maybe make one outta copper

I really like this.

By N/A (newegg.com)

My stock AMD cpu cooler was horrible. It did not cool well and required the fan to run at high speed during moderate processing tasks. Very loud and annoying. This cooler is a dream by comparison. I can run CPU torture tests and it keeps my CPU cool, with...

Fits in my HTPC case, Very effective, very quiet, sturdy, good instructions

A little pricey

Good cooler

By Steve (newegg.com)

Even though the installation was tough, it is worth it for a great cooler.

Keeps my CPU cool. Fits fine on my ASUS P5Q-E motherboard, and in my Antec Solo case. Fan is near silent with the LNA attached

Was surprisingly hard to attach to the backplate. I perform surgery as part of my job, and this was hard to do for me. The screws kept falling off the spring things. I suspect if I had a magnetic screwdriver, this would have been much easier
