Well, the one thing that the has going for it, as well as most all their coolers, is near perfect silence. The design and included cooling fan made for very silent operation whether at low or high CPU stressed conditions. It was all very smooth and fr...
Frankly speaking, I didn’t expect anything more from Noctua NH-C12P. The Austrian manufacturer managed to design a very decent cooling solution: very efficient, universal, relatively light-weight and compact, with low noise, simple and reliable rete...
Excellent performance, Quiet fan, Excellent craftmanship, Easy installation, Compatible with upcoming Intel Socket 1366 processor, Six year warranty
Mounting mechanism can cause issue with certain motherboards, Fan mounting wires can have better design, Hard to find
I was extremely surprised by the result of the NH-C12P. At low heat output, its performance may not be the leader of the pack but once the heat output has increased, its efficiency clearly shines above the other horizontal mounting heatsink (ThermalR...
Sammanfattning: 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...
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...

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 ...
Sammanfattning: 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.
Noctua quality and performance, Well made, Quiet, Cools well, Looks cool, Small size, Fairly easy installation, Extras included, Small size makes it very compatible, Excellent performance
Installation can be tricky in tight cases, Installation in recommended position might not work on all setups
The Noctua NH-C12P is a great choice for those looking for a small CPU cooler, it offers a nice combination of performance and silence, it could be perfect for an HTPC case or desktop style case. Considering its performance though, the NH-C12P is idea...
