“There is no doubt the Noctua NH-U12P has joined the ranks of the best performing coolers ever tested at AnandTech. With two NF-12P fans in push-pull, it turns in the best cooling results at the highest overclocks we have ever seen.”

“Noctua bereichert den Markt mit dem NH-U12P um eine Kühlercombo höchster Güte. In allen wichtigen Belangen, vom Lieferauftritt bis hin zur Performance, weiß Österreichs Aushängeschild in Sachen Prozessorkühlung ordentlich zu punkten. So finden wir im gesamten Drehzahlspektrum eine Kühlleistung auf dem Niveau der Spitzenkühler vor, die der hochwertigen Towerkonstruktion inklusive des Heatpipe-Quartettes beste Funktionalität bescheinigt.”

“The Intel Core i7 CPUs can get very toasty so the need of a quality cooler is a must. The Noctua NH-U12P is just that and will continue to be our King of Cooling.”

“When you factor in the cooler's smart design, excellent craftsmanship, and impressively silent fan, Noctua's price premium looks well justified. This cooler is perfect for those who want excellent cooling performance without having to give up quiet computing.”

“Le Noctua NH-U12P est une réussite totale. Un excellent radiateur, surmonté d'un non moins excellent ventilateur, avec un bundle de qualité contenant des modules de régulation de vitesse et une pâte thermique à la hauteur de nos espérances.”

“The Noctua NH-U12P performs very well, even against some of the top-rated heatsinks on the market. When I pulled the cooler out of the box I was initially impressed with build quality and then once it was in use I was highly impressed with it's cooling ability, as well as the performance of the excellent NF-P12 fans. Add in the fact that Noctua include some top-end thermal paste and we're onto a winner.”

“The Noctua NH-U12P is a solid cooler that performs with the very best out there. Combine this with a strong fan that can be classified as 'silent,' and you have a complete package. For anyone in the market for a new processor cooler or if you are just looking to quiet your system down, this is one heat sink and fan combination that should be on your short list.”

“Das beste Komplettpaket kommt in diesem Test aus dem Hause Noctua. Der Noctua U12P zeigt keine Schwächen in der Verarbeitung, der Qualität, der Montage, dem Lieferumfang oder bei der Kühlleistung, denn in allen Bereichen ist er mit an der Spitze, oder setzt Bestmarken. Abgerundet wird das Paket durch den sehr guten Lüfter mit einer höheren Förderleistung als normale Lüfter, was sich vor allem mit einer Spannung unter 7V bemerkbar macht. Eine klare Kaufempfehlung!”

“As with my C2D heastsink roundup, I found that the Noctua NH-U12P offers the best choice overall for cooling performance and low noise. I personally have the NH-U12P on my C2Q at this moment as I type this.”

“The Noctua NH-U12P CPU heatsink performs excellently, and it does so with a very quiet fan. The design and construction are top-notch as one would expect from Noctua.”

“Put simply, the Noctua NH-U12P is a fantastic heatsink. It is a phenomenal performer on both LGA775 and AM2 platforms, is not overly large or heavy and has the best mounting system I have seen to date. The lower fin density of the NH-U12P means that it performs remarkably well with near-silent fans.”
