And the results speak for themselves. The Noctua NH-U12P does a surprisingly excellent job of handling the CPU temps. To be honest, this is actually pretty impressive results for such a silent fan which is equally impressive. As for noise, well, there really isn't much at all. The NF-P12 Cooling Fan emits very low noise at 20 dB while pushing 92 meters of air per hour. And there is absolutely no vibration coming from the fan. There is also no odd pitch or noises typically caused by an unbalanced fan. It really is a nice fan.

"All it's splendor aside, it's a fantastic performer. It's easily the best, most capable cooler to cross this test bench. While it carries over the commonly seen tower design, the performance will easily be the deciding factor for the user who literally wants nothing but the coolest CPU possible. The Noctua NH-U12P is a great performer, it's cool, it's recommended, and it's my current top choice of CPU coolers." (Eric Garay, Virtual-Hideout.net)
