NH-U12S,NH-U14S
From the tests that we performed, it clearly came to our mind why Noctua is definitely one of the best CPU cooler manufacturer out in the market. Both the NH-U12S and the NH-U14S managed to keep our overclocked i5 2500K temperature down to very low levels, while remaining silent. Over the older Noctua products that still delivered great performance, both the NH-U series coolers are a ultimate improvement.
It is logical that the NH-U14S managed better results due to its massive 140mm fans, while the MH-U12S delivered exceptional performance despite using 120mm fans, there was very little difference between the two. We really see no reason to purchase a low-end water-cooling solution as it will probably perform worse that Noctua's offerings.
"As you can understand, they target enthusiast users who aim for maximum performance and are willing to spend a considerable amount of money for a CPU cooler. It is guaranteed that in terms of performance and build quality you surely get what you pay for, as you get a CPU cooler bundle that can put water-cooling solutions to shame!"
