Introduction
The tower format cooler with multi-heatpipes and large fin stacks has been a triumph for thermal solution companies alike far replacing the more traditional top-down cooler. One such company which still believes in the performance of this style of cooler and for its greater compatibility in smaller cases is Noctua. Their cooling solutions have earned them a highly regarded name and one such product that has contributed to this is their NH-C12P CPU cooler featuring a whopping 6 heatpipes and fins emanating directly from the base. Let’s see if the performance can keep up with the newer tower coolers which now dominate the market.

“the noise levels aren’t bad and the vortex cut notches certainly help but it’s not the quietest I’ve ever reviewed”
I was about to buy the Noctua C12P because most sites say that it is super quiet. What’s the most quiet fan you were talking about? Thanks!
Hi Alain,
In my personal experience I found that the Noiseblocker fans were slightly quieter (the Multiframe series) although of course i can’t verify this as i don’t have accuracte sound testing equipment.
However, the NF-P12 has a very high static pressure and so is ideal at pushing airflow through a heatsink which is why it’s so good. The NH-C12P is a great cooler though and you won’t find many quieter CPU coolers out there but for silent enthusiasts perhaps swapping the NF-P12 for one of noiseblockers 120mm multiframe series fan might be worth a shot.
Hope this helps
