Noctua NH-C12P

Results

The results are rather unfortunate for the Noctua, with it failing to beat our Xigmatek S1283, never-the-less the Noctua was a tough competitor for the Xigmatec, so for it to come this close is a sign of a good performer.

Noise

Compared to the Xigmatek Red Scorpion, the Noctua NH-C12P is slightly quieter. If you haven’t heard the Xigmatek, you’ll be pleased to hear its fan is one of the quietest available, so the term Mulnaz can definitely be used to describe the noise output of the Noctua.

Cost

The price of the NH-C12P is quite unfortunate, a quick Google found it retailing for ~£50. That’s right out in the deep end of most enthusiasts’ budgets. However, it’s clear to see why it prices out at this – the sheer bundle of accessories and quality this product boasts should be enough to satisfy those with deep enough pocket.
