Temperatures Can Run Slightly High Under Load On Overclocked CPU, gold, Discuss this in our forums
The Noctua NH-C12P SE14 is an excellent air cooler with compatibility for an increasing niche market of HTPC and slimmer cases. There are a lot of people who assume that HTPC is really the only use, but that is certainly not the reality. A few months a...
Wonderful performance, Quiet to nearly inaudible operation depending on the fan speed adapter used, Smaller size than NHD14 and NHU12P SE2 coolers allows for broader case compatibility, Price is decent for the performance and quality of the cooler
Although the price is a pro, $70 for a CPU cooler can also be seen as a con to some buyers
For under $70CDN, the Noctua NH-C12P SE14 cooler doesn't fall short in Noctua's impressive lineup of silent coolers. Although it may not perform quite as well as some of it's higher priced siblings, it still does manage to make the competition sweat wh...
With the NH-C12P SE14, Noctua has another quality cooler that lives up to their reputation of quiet operation thanks in part to the included 140mm NF-P14 fan. The SecuFirm2 mounting hardware remains one of the easiest to install among high end coolers...

Price, Possible interference with taller memory modules, No option to run a second fan for push/pull operation, Fan wiring may be a bit too long
Noctua's NH-C12P SE14 has proven itself to be a worthy contender in today's CPU cooler market. Its quality and bundled accessories set it apart from the rest to make it more appealing. As usual, Noctua has bundled the cooler with easy to install mounti...
The conclusion here is simple and yet also very difficult. If you were looking at buying the NH-C12P SE14 for a system with an overclocked I7 processor then quite simply, don't. It just can not dissipate the heat fast enough and there are better coolers f...
The NH-C12P SE 14 is yet another great performing CPU Cooler by Noctua and although it did not perform on par with the best CPU Coolers in the market. Still it did come very close with just a few degrees difference and for an HTPC aime...
