Now on the overclocked results we can see that the Noctua NH-U12P CPU cooler did not disappoint us with the results. With 35.5C higher than the ambient temperature and 3.5C lower than the actual non-overclocked Intel Stock cooler, you do not have to worry about heat when overclocking your processor to such speeds as in this test. The Intel Stock cooler could not catch up in these tests, it was 61C higher than the ambient temperature. These temperatures are not acceptable because this may lower the lifetime of your CPU and also downgrade speed to prevent damage to your CPU. In these tests the Noctua NH-U12P beat the Coolink Silentator and the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme again by just a few degrees.

"The Noctua NH-U12P with the included NF-P12 fan promises you a silent operation as well as excellent cooling capabilities. This is why the Noctua NH-U12P is the #1 cooler for excellent performance compared to the other coolers." (Peter Kapas, Mikhailtech.com)
