Noctua NH-C12P Heatsink review

[Lincoln]

Mike reviews the Noctua NH-C12P Heatsink (http://icrontic.com/articles/noctua_nh-c12p).

Not long after the release of the very impressive NH-U9B, Noctua has returned with a brand new design. Tower heatsinks are certainly very popular among enthusiasts. One look at our review of Noctua's NH-U12P proves that a good implementation of the design can be incredibly potent at taming toasty CPUs. As effective as towers are, however, they are not very good all-around cooling solutions.

Cool heatsink. Wish it'd fit in my LanBox case.:D

TweakTown concurs with Icrontic. The NH-C12P owns face. (http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/1439/7/page_7_final_thoughts/index.html)

I'm surprised that their testing found the NH-C12P to outperform the NH-U12P by such a large margin. Based on our real-world testing methodology (TT uses a special (http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/1200/4/page_4_setting_up_the_electronics_and_sensors/index.html) hotbox for testing), the NH-U12P performs a bit better.
