EKL Noctua NH-U12P

Zitat: So here´s the final bill. The Noctua NH-U12P comes in pretty when it comes to temperatures. The idle temp was not much more than standard, but it showed its true colors when I turned on the heat. The heatsink´s other colors might not appeal to everyone, however. The only real drawback to this heatsink is its height; as it may not fit in every case. This tower design is pretty standard today, because it is simply one of the most efficient architectures. Hopefully Noctua will send us one of their low-profile C12-series heatsinks for testing. Noctua´s heatsink is solid and well constructed, and its fan is simply unique. The Noctua NH-U12P has it where it counts and does a great job of cooling, and will certainly last through several PC upgrades.

Zitat: Pros: + Very easy installation + Quiet operations + No clearance issues + Can accommodate two 120mm fans for increased airflow + Compatible with both AMD and Intel processors (inc quad-core) + Good performance Cons: - No LEDs on the fan - Expensive Overall, the Noctua NH-U12P is a solid choice for an air-cooled CPU cooler. The cooler is very easy to install, performs on-par with some of the best coolers are the market, and also has very quiet operations. While it is a little expensive (retails for ~$60 USD), the cooler comes with the peace of mind you get from buying a product made by a reputable company that has a proven track record. I’d recommend this cooler for your next computer build.

Zitat: Pluspunten: + Meegeleverde schroevendraaier + High End prestaties + Meegeleverde koeler + Uiterlijk Minpunten: - Montage backplate - High End prijs Noctua brengt met de NH-U12P weer een High-End koeler op de markt, een nadeel is echter de prijs. Daar staat weer tegenover dat Noctua een goede ventilator meelevert en de koeler erg goed presteert. Als Noctua bij hun volgende koeler een makkelijke montagemanier neemt en de prijs misschien een stukje omlaag doet, is het product perfect en BeP-award waardig. Helaas is dit nu nog niet het geval, maar de NH-U12P krijgt van ons tóch 4 sterren.

Zitat: Pros: + enorme Kühlleistung + sehr leiser Lüfter + ausgezeichnete Verarbeitungsqualität + Lieferumfang + fairer Preis Cons: - Mainboardausbau notwendig bei Montage - Gewicht - Größe (passt nicht in jedes Gehäuse hinein)
