Product Reviews
- “At least you can see where the money went. The build quality is excellent, from the huge cooler, to the two supplied fans. Yes, The Noctua comes supplied with a pair of brown and beige 120mm fans, we're not sure about the colour scheme, but the extra airflow should come in handy.
Installing the Noctua takes a while, but it's not a fiddly or frustrating experience, and once you're finished you'll have no complaints about the fit. Once the heat sink is attached, the two fans simply clip directly to it.”
- Computer Shopper - “The Noctua NH-U12P SE2 CPU cooler oozes quality and there are no shortage of extras, from the fan resistor wires, to the inclusion of a pair of some of the finest fans that money can buy, to little things like an elongated screwdriver and a metal case badge. Performance is excellent, and the SE2 did perform better than the CoolIT Domino, which really surprised me. To sum up, it's a lot of cooler for your money!”

NH-U12P SE2 x (3)
Haraldur Kristinn Karlsson - Posted: 13 Feb 2011 01:09 (7/10)
There was a slight issue with this beast,
It went over 2 of my RAM-slots..
Otherwise a very good CPU cooler and silent as a ninja.

It's bleeding enormous. It was so tall that I had to take my mobo off the sliding installation backplate and re-install it inside the (full size) case which was a bit fiddly. But I am pleased with it as it is exceptionally quiet. Just be sure it will go inside your system!!!

I spent weeks reading reviews on a variety of 1156 coolers before deciding that this was the one to get. It is a beast. I had to remove a side fan from my NZXT Lexa case to get it in. The clips on the fans were a bit fiddly but the rest of the install process was relatively easy.
I'm running both fans at 100% speed and it's still quieter than the stock fan (not surprisingly). My Core i5 750 idles at 35 degrees on cores #0 and #2 whilst #1 sits around 32 degrees and #3 is at 30 degrees. I've read some reviews which encountered the same issue. Perhaps I need to reapply the thermal grease.
Playing Crysis pushes it up to 50 degrees which is still relatively cool. I haven't tried it with max utilisation of all CPU cores yet but I expect the temps will still be good.
So overall, a very good cooler and an excellent service from Quiet PC.
