Abstract: The Noctua C12P SE14 is a premium quality cooler that offers good performance at a premium price. The NF-P14 fan is very quiet at full speed and almost becomes inaudible when the low-noise adapters are used. The low height of the cooler makes it ideal for..
Once again, Noctua have produced a pair of products that blows away the competition in every respect. The smaller C12P is easily one of the best coolers I've ever used, and while being quite expensive its passable. Its bigger brother takes the perform...

For once, it's great to see a company cut corners, and with the NF-P14 FLX 140mm fan that's exactly what Noctua have done. With its circular fan frame and 120mm fan mounting they've managed to produce a 140mm fan that is much more compact than...
Excellent performance despite its size, []Excellent compatibility with modern motherboards including LGA1156, []Extremely quiet, []Supplied with an NFP14 140mm fan, []Very easy to install, []U.L.N.A adapters, []High quality finish,

Pricey, Color scheme might be a con for some, No Room For Second Fan In Push/Pull Config (NH-C12P SE14), Might Interfere With Tall RAM Modules (NH-C12P SE14), Not PWM Fans
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...
Abstract: A lot of people think it’s a little odd that I happen to be Hi Tech Legion’s “cooling guy”. I mean, really, cooling isn’t something people typically get overly excited about, but you need to understand some things. After my parents pitched me over the ...
Abstract: Some things that Noctua has gotten right is their commitment to silent cooling and build quality. Their fans are near silent and their craftsmanship...
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 HTPC / MediaCenter market is gaining momentum again, and not just for the enthusiasts, but the average “techy” as well. This means that demands on hardware for those applications are rising, and that requires adequate cooling. Noctua did the right...
