NH-C12P SE14
Even with the i3 overclocked to 4ghz i was gobsmacked with the temperatures, the Noctua really comes into its own here. Even with a 4ghz overclock and the fan at 750rpm, which I might add is as close to inaudible as you will ever get, the NH-C12P still kept the temperatures below a gob smacking 50c. Dropping the clocks just kept dropping the temps even further. [...] Yet again Noctua have brought us a cooler that's perfect for the application it was designed for. With a maximum height of 114mm with the fan fitted you should not have any problems fitting it in your HTPC as almost the same height that a GPU will stand out from the motherboard.
"So if it's silence you you are looking for or a HTPC cooler then the NH-C12P SE14 is absolutely perfect. Yet again Noctua have sent me a heatsink that is so good I'm going to continue using it in the server system you will all be seeing more of very shortly. Because of that I'm happy to give this the coveted Editors Choice award. Quite simply because in the right system this would be the editors choice!" (Tom Logan, Overclock3D.net)
