At Dragonsteelmods, we have reviewed
several Noctua products which have received a fair amount of
accolades from our site and others. With the release of the Intel
LGA1366 based CPUs also known as the Core i7 series, there is a need
for new performance coolers. Instead of designing a totally new
cooler, Noctua took their acclaimed cooler the NH-U12P and modified the SecuFirm mounting system to work with the LGA1366
based motherboards.
Acoustic
PC was kind enough to send us not only the NH-U12P SE1366 CPU
Cooler, but they included the Noctua NH-C12P for comparison, which
can also be mounted with the SecuFirm 2 system onto an x58
motherboard. Although the NH-C12P is not sold with the mounting
equipment for the LGA1366 based motherboards; that problem can be
easily resolved by picking up the LGA1366 SecuFirm2 Mounting-Kit from
Noctua.
If you’ve read Kris’ previous
Noctua reviews, you will notice that Noctua have set a high standard
with their products. So let’s see how the NH-U12P SE1366 pairs up
with the Core i7 builds. Let’s get started, shall we?
