Below we see the Noctua NH-C12P CPU cooler with the cooling fan removed. There is a lot of surface area for a 120mm fan to move air through the cooling fins of the heatsink. Also you can see the six copper heatpipes starting in the base flowing up through the cooling fins.
The next images are my favorites of the review. In the overhead shot you can see the heatpipes and base almost shining through the cooling fins. In the last side view image the mesh of the cooling fins radiates a hypnotizing aura.
The below left image shows the base; it does have a slight texture and is not smooth. In the below right image we finally see the Noctua Owl embedded in the last row of cooling fins. Above the logo are the tips of the heatpipes.
The cooling fan that is bundled with the Noctua NH-C12P CPU cooler is model NF-P12, which is rated for 1.08W/0.09A on 12VDC. As stated in the fan specifications at the beginning of the review, the fan has a maximum speed of 1300RPM @ 19.8dBA.
With the 120mm fan installed on the top of the heatsink the height is up to 114mm. The height between the motherboard to the power supply for the test system is about 130mm, so there shouldn't be any issues fitting the cooler in the case.
