  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • A Little Pricy For Some, Slightly Heavy
  • So what’s the verdict on this cooler? It was great, I knew that equipping an aftermarket cooler would drop the CPU temp, but I really didn’t think that it was going to drop the temp by that much. Simply put the Noctua NH-C12P CPU Cooler is dow...
