Introduction to the Noctua NH-C12P SE14

If you have never heard of Noctua than you can’t call yourself an enthusiast. Noctua have been making some of the best coolers on the market in recent years. The massive D14 is their latest achievement. Currently, it is one or one of the best coolers on the market. We recently reviewed it here. It even won our Editor’s Choice award. And when it comes to cooling their cooling fans are some of the quietest and most efficient on the market.

But Noctua isn’t all about extreme air cooling they are also dapping into the mid-range air cooling market as well. The NH-C12P is aimed at the person looking for better than good cooling well trying to be conservative at the same time. The C12P is a low-profile tabletop-type cooler that consist of six heat pipes and comes equipped with a NF-P14 series 140mm cooling fan. From just this we feel we will definitely see better than good cooling from the C12P.
