Noctua presented today its new premium class CPU cooler NH-C12P. Being equipped with 6 heat pipes and the award-winning NF-P12 120mm fan, the NH-C12P achieves excellent performance and outstanding quietness of operation. The down-facing c-type design allows for lower height and also provides additional cooling for motherboard components through two Airflow-Gaps.

"Given the trend towards powerful, HD ready multimedia systems and HTPCs in compact desktop cases, the demand for quiet high-end CPU coolers with lower height is growing and growing", explains Mag. Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO. "Our new NH-C12P is a premium class quiet cooler that offers the same excellent level of performance as our much acclaimed NH-U12P at a height of only 114mm."

This is made possible by the use of 6 heat pipes as well as a relatively wide fin spacing that guarantees optimal heat dissipation even at low fan speeds. Thanks to its two large Airflow-Gaps that provide additional cooling for near-socket motherboard components, the NH-C12P is perfectly suited for use in poorly ventilated desktop cases.

Just like the successful NH-U12P, the NH-C12P is equipped with Noctua's NF-P12 premium fan that ensures outstanding cooling performance at minimal noise levels and has received more than 50 recommendations from leading international websites and magazines since its introduction in November. The premium bundle is topped off by Noctua's award-winning NT-H1 high-end thermal compound, making the NH-C12P a total quality package for the highest demands.

Price and availability
The NH-C12P is available immediately at a recommended price of EUR 59.90 / USD 69.90.

Ye weird color, i was about to buy it with the Noctua CPU cooler but then i changed my mind and went with Zalman.
Read some reviews about that fan and they say good things about-very silent.

Does anyone else see a car engine when they look at that, or is it just me? Especially with size of those pictures and the angle that they're taken from.

Hmm would have worked better if 3 of the heat pipes had gone the other way to spread the heat across the fins more, needs more fins, looks to have very few, and the fan is... well... brown, which looks horrible.

looks wierd. like a mushroom? and the low number of fins doesn't look that great. at least you can change the ugly fan to better looking one if you want.

I have a 7900GT on the wall... And a G71 as a key ring.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I know that motherboards can handle that kind of weight but I'm getting worried at the size of CPU coolers. I can just see something very bad happening, following a large "snap" noise.

This got me thing too the other day.
With the way cards/coolers are moving would it not be better to have an old fashion style case? As in on its side?

I'm just about to purchase an Antec Fusion or Lian Li PC-C32 and put my components in there

I doubt that's gonna be a problem. I tested with an old Socket A mobo with a PCB-mounted cooler, very similar to the LGA775 one. It took almost 5kg of pressure to the side about 10cm up to even make the board make any noise. 8kg to make it break the board. My 1kg Gemin isn't even making my board bend the slightest.

Now that's some high quality plastic . They should make tanks of it
