Noctua has announced a new CPU cooler, which deviates from its previous designs. The new six-heatpipe cooler has downward-facing C-type design, which means it looks more like your ordinary coolers, but with a couple of tweaks. First of all, it ships with Noctua’s critically acclaimed NF-P12 120mm fan and NT-H1 thermal compound. On each side of the heatsink there’s an airflow-gap which will help cooling other components around the socket.
The low profile of NH-C12P makes it well suited for small cases, e.g. HTPCs. The cooler is available now and costs €59.90 / $69.90.
