Noctua NH-C12P Heatsink Review @ Frostytech

It has been a little while since I have seen a new cooler from Noctua. The cooler using a 140mm fan is something I'm a big fan of. Pun intended. We are having a little discussion on the 140mm fan right in our own forums. So go check it out.

"In this review Frostytech is testing out Noctua's new NH-C12P heatsink. The NH-C12P comes bundled with Noctua's 120mm NF-P12 fan. Tower heatsinks may offer the best performance of any heatsink style, but many computer cases can't accommodate +140mm CPU cooler heights. 'Down exhaust' or 'impingment' heatsinks are so named because the fan blows downward. The overhanging portion of this heatsink has the added advantage of cooling devices adjacent to the CPU socket too. "

I do have to say that I'm still very old school, and love the idea of my heatsink having the fan blow air onto the motherboard.
