Just as remarkable. Even though the cooler is outperformed by the NH-U12P, general situation with competition is favorable for this cooler -- it sticks to the leading group competing with Thermalright IFX-14 and Scythe Mugen 2 in minimal noise. Note the small spread of results between 600rpm and 700rpm modes (only 5°C, even smaller than with the NH-U12P), which means that the NH-C12P is designed for low-noise operation.

"This product product follows the successful NH-U12P -- it demonstrates the same unprecedentedly high technical quality, spiced up with competitive performance and neat usability. Probably the most promising computers for the NH-C12P are hi-end HTPCs, where it can reveal its full potential." (Vitaly Krinitsyn, iXBT Labs)
