One of the main winning factors with the NH-U12P is that it comes with one of the best fans available on the market today. In a past review, we showed you the true potential of the NF-P12 fan when mounted on both tower-style coolers and water cooling radiators so to have it included here is a more than welcome. Considering this fan costs nearly $20 depending on where you look, the value it adds to this cooler is off the chart. As it stands the Noctua NH-U12P is very good cooler and should top your list of coolers if noise is a major consideration. It should also be a top contender for your hard earned dollars if you are planning to cool a dual core system.

"From the moment we took it from the protective embrace of its package we knew we had a winner on our hands, the only question is how good it would be. Honestly, this is one of the best and most refined CPU Cooling solutions we have seen in quite some time; and everything from its best in class manual to its best in class fan just reinforced this opinion. As we saw in literally every single test, this cooler is one of the best out there for both dual and quad core cooling." (Michael H., HardwareCanucks.com)
