The NH-C12P came packaged in a familiar Noctua brown and blue box.

There is a window displaying the cream colored NF-P12 fan and a plethora of technical specifications listed on the package. Noctua has never opted for flashy advertising and colorful packages, which is a positive thing in my opinion.

I was happy to see that the NH-C12P employs Noctua’s SecuFirm mounting system. This is still my favorite mounting system to date. Most of the accessories are similar to that of the NH-U12P and the NH-U9B.

One nice new feature is the self-adhesive washers. They simply stick to the bottom of the mounting frame and you never have to worry about losing them. Although I was very impressed with the SecuFirm mounting system when I first saw it last winter, I am even more pleased to see that Noctua continues to improve upon it—even if only minor changes are made.
I should take this opportunity to note that Noctua’s installation manuals are always top-notch. They are very well written with helpful diagrams and are very thorough.
