Great cooling efficiency, very quiet fan, C-Type design allows greater compatibility with motherboard designs.
Heavy heatsink, large fan.
Performance and Overclocking After installing the CPU cooler we wanted to put it through its paces by overclocking the Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz processor to 2.66GHz. To take temperature measurements I have three temperature probes attached to a small L...
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 isnt 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 dont have an i7 processor, you can use this cooler...

Low profile design, Excellent fan noise control, Lightweight design
Over engineered mounting system
S The NH-C12P CPU cooler maybe the shortest kid on the block, but it definitely packs a mean punch when it comes to cooling the Core i7 CPU. It allowed me to go from a measly 3.1GHz CPU core speed to a more respectable CPU speed of 3.7GHz. Noctua has a...
