Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 CPU Cooler Review

👤by David Mitchelson Comments 📅23-02-09
Conclusion
To conclude, the Noctua U12P SE1366 is again one outstanding cooling solution. It goes without saying that the performance abilities that we saw on the LGA775 platform from the U12P have most definately been transferred across to the Intel i7. We are left in no doubt that the benchmark has been set, you will struggle to find a CPU cooler that beats the results found on the previous page.

The U12P SE1366 does come at quite a price, but you get exactly what you pay for. You are investing in two award winning premium NF-P12 fans, a tube of award winning thermal paste and, well, a heatsink that has proven itself as one of the best coolers on the market to date.

One of my favourite things about the SE1366 package is the secuFirm2 mounting kit. Noctua have gone away and revised the secuFirm mounting solution and produced yet more improvements to their system of work. When you fit the SE1366 you get a sense of complete security when mounting the whole unit. This feeling is highlighted when you come to install the Intel reference cooler, and when you compare the two mounting systems there is just no way you can even judge the two side by side. This kit is in a league of It's own.

Noctua have once again amazed me with their engineering and it appears they are going from strength to strength.
