Abstract: The first top-down CPU cooler from Noctua is a refined, unusual product that exudes thoughtfulness all around and comes with an equally unusual fan. But does it deliver silent cooling?
Very Quiet, Good Performance, Slimmer Profile than other Heatpipe Coolers, Unique Look
Nothing Major
Both Noctua coolers that Ive taken a look prior to this cooler have performed very well and have set the bar pretty high. The NH-C12Ps performance wasnt as good as the NH-U12P, however it was only a couple degrees lower in performance, and still ov...
Compleet pakket (brackets, ventilator, koelpasta, adapters), Zowel stil als koel zonder L.N.A. of U.L.N.A,
Erg duur met zo’n €60, Koelprestaties vallen tegen met L.N.A. en U.L.N.A.
Tja, wat moeten we nou over de NH-C12P zeggen? Noctua rust hun koelers zoals gewoonlijk rijkelijk uit met genoeg accessoires en bevestigingsmaterialen en ook wat de geluidsproductie betreft zit het bij de NH-C12P helemaal puik! De koelprestaties vielen...
Zugegeben, zu Beginn unserer Testphase hatten wir eine gewisse Skepsis gegenüber dem NH-C12P, denn immerhin sind Top-Flow-Kühler nicht unbedingt für ihre gute Leistung bekannt.Aber auch bei diesem Produkt bewahrheitet sich mal wieder der Spruch: mit v...
The Noctua NH-C12P is a serious CPU cooler and while it is very large even by today’s standards, it was a little lacking when it came to performance. For such a large and expensive cooler I have to admit that we were hoping for a lot more out of the NH...
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...
Noctua nous prouve encore une fois être capable de sortir un très bon produit même en proposant un design en marge de ses habitudes. Néanmoins, pour pratiquement le même prix, je vous conseille fortement le NH-U12P qui reste le meilleur de la ga...

Very good allaround performance, Airflow gaps are a very functional feature, Noctua’s excellent SecuFirm mounting system, Good accessory bundle, including fan, paste and RPM limiters, Excellent compatibility and light weight
Only two possible mounting orientations for AM2 systems
Noctua does not fail to impress with their new NH-C12P. Focusing on mainly tower based heatsinks over the last couple of years, it is refreshing to see a potent down-draft design from Noctua. It provides an excellent holistic cooling solution without ...
Abstract: Tower heatsinks may offer the best performance of any heatsink style, but many computer cases cant accommodate +140mm CPU cooler heights. Down exhaust or impingment heatsinks are so named because the fan blows downward.
