欧洲第一品牌NH－C12P的国外网站评测：

INTRODUCTION介绍
Any computer enthusiasts would know the importance of keeping the components inside of a system running cool.  This is especially true if you overclock because once pushing the hardware components to their limits, the resultant heat they generate can cause system instability and in some extreme situations ruin the hardware.  Anyone who messes around with their system will know how crappy the retail processor heatsink is in keeping the temperature of the CPU running low.  The retail Intel heatsink is extremely inefficient in the heat conducting department despite the fact it is running at extremely quiet.  Thus, for those who overclock their system, having an after-market heatsink and fan is pretty much a given in order to achieve that perfect overclocking result.
任何计算机发烧友将知道在一个系统运行中保持零部件的变得凉爽是很重要的。 这特别是针对追求超频玩家来说，他们将一次的发挥硬件极限度， 因为产生的热流会引起系统不稳定和在一些极端形势里毁坏硬件。任何一个会让系统周边产生不良的人都将会知道，保持CPU处理器温度流动时的低温，而市售的散热器，却是那要的没有效能，因此对于那些系统超频或是发烧友，是需要一个完美散热良好的优质散热器。

What does Noctua mean?猫头鹰的定义
The little owl, Athene noctua, is the symbol of the Greek goddess Athene, who represents wisdom, science and strategy. She has a marked preference for the most clever among the Greek heroes, like Odysseus, who endure their adventures by the use of savvy consideration instead of mere force. Noctua的小猫头鹰，阿西妮noctua，是希腊女神阿西妮的象征，描述智慧，科学和策略。 在希腊英雄中她有一个显著的的最聪明的的优先权，比如奥德修斯， 通过使用专门技能考虑忍受他们的冒险而不是仅仅力量。
PACKAGING包装
Noctua packages their cooler in a huge box.  You get a clear view of the heatsink and fan on the front and various information about the heatsink, such as the dimensions of the heatsink, its features and installation process can be found on the outside of the box.  I am particularly glad to see the dimension information on the box as it offers potential buyers an idea of the heatsink’s size so they can assess whether or not the heatsink will fit inside their system. Noctua 在一个极大的盒子中包装他们的冷却器。你可以清楚的看到风扇以及散热器的尺寸, 它的特征的各种不同的资讯和安装程序都清楚的标识在那盒子的外面。  它提供任何一个买主对此散热器清楚详细的参数，清楚了解该散热气是否将会适合他们的系统。
　　　　　　　　
Opening up the box, and you will see that the heatsink and fan is being protected by a cutout of the cardboard against any bumps and potential mistreatement during shipping.  The accessories are placed inside another box, separated from the heatsink and fan, so they won’t get damaged and will not damage the heatsink.  Noctua’s packaging of the NH-C12P ensures that the unit will arrive at your door step will be in working order the moment you open it up. 打开箱子， 并且你将看见散热器和风扇包装预防任何撞击或在在装运期间的发生潜在的损坏内层多一层纸盒的加强保护。 附件被在另一个箱子里面放置，与散热器和风扇分离，将不损坏散热器。 Noctua NH-C12P的包装的保证使用者打开后可以直接正常安装使用它。

CLOSER LOOK AT NH-C12P更密切的察看NH-C12P
The heatsink measures 91 x 152 x 126 mm (H x W x D) and wighs 550g.  With the fan, the whole unit will extend to 114 mm in height.  The weight of the unit is moderately light considering its size.
散热器测量91 x 152 x 126毫米(H x W x D) 以及净重550 g。加入风扇，整个高度上提升为114毫米，重量也都非常适中搭配整个散热器尺寸。
　　　　　　　
The heatsink is made with copper/aluminum material with six heat pipes conduct the heat away from the base of the heatsink to the cooling fins.  Noctua solders the heat pipes to the cooling fins in order to assist the heat conductivity.  What is unique about the NH-C12P is that part of the cooling fins actually extends to the base of the heatsink to directly conduct heat away from the base.  Furthermore, the Noctua employees a “C-type” design of the cooling fins where not only it offers cooling to the CPU but also the components near the socket.
散热器是铜底、铝鳍片与6铜导热管一起引导热气流散热在冷却片的基础。 为了更高热传导性能，Noctua 对冷却片焊接热管。独特设计NOCTUA NH-C12P更大部分冷却片实际直接引导热流离开散热器的基础。 而且" C 类型" 冷却片的设计不仅只为CPU的冷却表现，而是更接近CPU插槽的周边零部件。
　　
I have to say the nickel plate makes the heatsink feels sturdier than other heatsinks.  Often, the aluminum fins are too soft and easy to bend but the NH-C12P’s fins are very sturdy.  Not only that, the craftsmanship is excellent and I did not notice any sharp edges at all.  The edges are all curved so there is no need to fear of any potential cuts on your hands during installation.
我必须说NOCTUA制造的散热器感觉起来比其他散热器强建和沉稳。 通常，铝鳍片都较柔软和容易弯曲但是NH-C12P 非常坚固。 不仅此，优质的工艺，我根本没注意到任何毛边。 边缘弯曲，而在安装过程中无需恐惧和担忧会对你的手产生任何伤口。
  
On either side of the heatsink small areas are cut out, these cutouts are meant to allow easy access to the screws during installation.  The overall design of the NH-C12P is excellent and I give major props to Noctua for putting some thought in designing the heatsink.  Finally, from the last picture above, you can see contact surface is absolutely flat and polished.
在散热器的两边缺口设计，这些缺口设计为在安装期间容易的螺丝安装的入口，已经让风流量更大面积的引流散热。 NOCTUA NH-C12P的总的设计是优秀的，我为把一些想法放进设计散热器把主要底部给到Noctua。 最后， 从上面的最后图中，你能看见底部接触面绝对平且光亮。
　　　　　
The NH-C12P is compatible with Intel Socket LGA 775, AMD AM2 & AM2+, Intel Xeon on request, AMD K8 (754, 939, 940) & Socket F on request.  The retail package comes with all the accessories needed for socket LGA 775 and AM2/AM2+ processors.  If you are running other sockets that is listed above and need the adapter, you can always request it from Noctua for free.  Noctua even has a new bracket that is compatible with the upcoming Intel Socket 1366 (Nehalem/Bloomfield) processors which they will be releasing in September.  The mounting bracket will be backward compatible with all Noctua CPU coolers since 2005 and Noctua is offering any user who have purchased the cooler to obtain the bracket simply by providing a proof of purchase.  They have not yet decided to whether or not offering customers the bracket free or charge a small amount of service fee.  So, check their website in case you are upgrading to the Socket 1366 in the future for more detail.  
NOCTUA NH-C12P与Intel 插槽LGA 775，AMD AM2，AM2 +相容，Intel Xeon，AMD K 8 (754, 939, 940) 。 市售包装已经包含LGA 775，AM2/AM 2＋附件。 如果你正在使用上述列举的其他插槽并且需要日后改变它，你总是能免费请求Noctua 。 Noctua新1366扣具与即将到来的Intel 插槽1366(Nehalem/Bloomfield)相容，Intel 他们将在9月发布新的处理器。 所有的 Noctua CPU散热器（从 2005年以后所有购买使用Noctua CPU散热器者，藉由提供购买的证明凭据都可以，向NOCTUA申请此1366扣具。目前NOCTUA还没有决定是否提供客户此1366扣具是免费或是收取很少的服务费用。 因此，为了解有关此扣具1366的细节，请注意浏览他们网站。

In addition, a quick and easy installation guide is included.  The color print on the installation guide is greatly appreciated.  As one can see from the image above on how much Noctua pays attention to details as all the mounting accessories are packaged in their individual bag.
另外，附有一张非常简易的安装指南。 色彩清晰的印刷在安装指南上使你容易明白。 能清楚明白的看见里面的图象，注意细节以及所有包装内所有附件规格说明。
　　
In addition, a 120 mm NF-P12 fan is included.  The NF-P12 is 9-blade design and features SSO-bearing and “Vortex-Control Notches” at the end of the edge of the blades.  The notches are designed to split the trailing edge vortices into smaller vortices.  As a result, less turbulence is created and less velocity loss and lower noise emission.  The fan speed can be adjusted with the included power adapter.  There are three settings available: ultra low-noise (~900rpm), low-noise (~1000rpm), and regular (~1300rpm).  
另外，包含一个120毫米NF-P12 。 这NF P12  9叶片设计和独特SSO-bearing " 在叶片的边缘的末端波浪槽口设计用于使旋涡风流分裂成更小的旋涡。 因此，降低混乱和减少更少的速度损失和更低的噪音发射。 风扇速度可以被完善的调整。 提供的3种不同速度和噪音比的连接线： 极端的低噪音的(900rpm) ,低噪音的(1000rpm) ,以及正常规律的(1300rpm) .
　　
Two rubber stripes are included in order to further reduce the vibration noise.  The rubber stripes are meant to be inserted on the top edge of the heatsink.  Due to the fact that either edge has a small hollow area, the rubber stripes do not stand on top of any support on these sections.  As a result, they may not come in direct contact with the fan in these sections.  I would suggest Noctua to offer some support for the rubber stripes along the edge of the heatsink across the hollow area.  It makes installation of the rubber easier and also will ensure the fan to be in direct contact of the rubber to assist noise reduction.
为了更进一步降低振动噪音，还包含两条橡胶条纹。  橡皮斑纹必须在 heatsink 的最上面的优势上被插入。  由于事实：任一边缘有一个小的空区域，橡皮斑纹在这些区段上不站在任何支持的顶端上。  结果，他们在这些区段中不可能进来与狂热者的直接接触。  我会建议 Noctua 横过空的区域沿着 heatsink 的边缘提供对橡皮斑纹的一些支持。  它使橡皮的安装变成更容易以及将会确定狂热者在橡皮的直接连络协助噪音减少
The fans are being held to the heatsink by the two wires which clips onto the side of the heatsink and the two ends of the wire will hold the corner of the fan.  The wires do not clip onto the heatsink and will fall off the heatsink if you are replacing the fan.  I would like to see Noctua design a way to have the wires held onto the heatsink for easy fan replacement.
风扇搭配2条调节散热器电线， 到散热器的边上的夹子和电线的两个末端将举行风扇的角落。 电线不到散热器上剪将从散热器上落下你替换爱好者如果。 我想看见Noctua 设计有电线拉住适合容易爱好者替换的散热器的一方法。
　　　
A small syringe of Noctua NT-H1 thermal is also included.  NT-H1 is made with a hybrid compound of different micro-particles.  It is low thermal resistance and electrically non-conductive.
一个 Noctua 散热膏NT-H1 也被包括在内。  NT-H1 与一个不同微的混合化合物一起做-粒子。  它是低的热抵抗和电非传导性的。
　　
INSTALLATION AND GENERAL IMPRESSION安装及总印象
Installing NH-C12P is very easy with the included manual.  The manual has pictures and detail description so it is easy to follow.  In order to install the heatsink, motherboard removal would be required.  I will be installing the heatsink to my EVGA 680i motherboard with the Intel socket LGA 775 E6600 processor.
安装 NH-C12 不仅动手容易和方便，安装手册都附有详细图解说明非常容易明白。 为了要安装散热器, 主板移动会被需要。  我将使用Intel 插槽LGA 对我的EVGA 680i 主板安装散热器775 E6600 处理器。
After removing the motherboard from the case, you would mount the backplate to the bottom of the motherboard and align the two mounting bars (with self-adhesive washer pre-applied) to the front of the motherboard.  Afterward, you screw the mounting bars to the backplate and screw two LGA fastening brackets to the heatsink.  Finally, after applying the thermal paste, screw the heatsink to the mounting bar and the whole process is complete. The whole process can be completed in less than 30 minutes.
在从情况先安装主板背面底部的支架（本身已经附有垫圈）在安装前面二根左右固定扣具。而后将螺丝固定到散热器本身，到涂抹散热膏，拧紧散热器，整个程序的安装时间被在不到30 分钟完成。
　　
Although the NH-C12P can be installed in any orientation, Noctua actually has recommended installing the heatsink with the bulging of the heat pipes pointing downwards, toward left, or toward right if it is installed in a tower-style case.  The reason for such recommendation is due to the previously described C-style cooling which having the bulging of the heat pipes pointing down will facilitate removal of hot air away from CPU area.  In desktop case, the heatsink can be installed in any orientation.
虽然 NH-C12 的能在任何的定方位方面被安装，如果使用的是卧室机箱， Noctua 用凸出热管推荐向下，向左边, 或向右边。  如此的推荐理由是由于先前描述的 C-风格的冷却凸出热导管将会促进热空气移动远离处理器区域。在立式机箱散热器Cooler能在任何的定方位方面被安装。

　
During installation, I did encounter clearance problem with my EVGA 680i board.  If I place the mounting bars in vertical orientation, they will be touching heatsink on the CPU voltage regulator.  The mounting bar can pose some problem if there are components around the CPU mounting area that is a tad taller.  Those half height capacitors usually are not going to be any issue but the older larger capacitors may pose some problem.  Luckily many of today’s motherboards are using solid capacitors so they won’t be a major issue.  But do make sure that there is no components around the CPU mounting hole area that can prevent the mounting bars to be installed.
在安装期间，我遇到与我EVGA 680i 主板一起的问题。 如果我安装的是垂直的定向上位置，他们将碰触CPU 稳压器上的散热器。 如果有一些CPU 周围零部件较高的话，就会造成一些问题。 旧式更大的电容器可能会造成一些问题。 幸运的是现在市售的主板正使用固态的电容器，因此他们将不是一个主要的问题。
　　
Also, if your motherboard comes with a big heatsink underneath the board (as many of high-end board do), you would have to remove it first or else you won't be able to use the heatsink.  The Gigabyte P35-DS4 motherboard has such issue as its metal plate is not removable.  This is really not entirely Noctua's fault but nonetheless it would be nice to have an alternative way to install the heatsink for these type of motherboards.
此外，如果你的主板(高档的板中带有一个大的散热器来 ,你必须首先除去它要不然你将不能使用散热器。 技嘉P35-DS4 主板，它的金属板不可移动的这样的问题。 这真的不完全是Noctua的错误，但是不过有一种可选择的方式为这些类主板安装散热器将是很高兴的。

Luckily, the heatsink does not have a clearance issue around the motherboard.  We can see Noctua bends the heat pipes so it will not gets in the way with the northbridge.  Unless the Northbridge of your motherboard is extremely large or very tall, I do not forsee any issue.  I tested the heatsink with the EVGA 680i and Gigabyte EX38-DS4 and also did not encounter any issue with that particular motherboard.
幸运的是，散热器没在主板周围有一个间隙问题。 我们能看见Noctua弯曲热管，因此它将不会对北桥阻碍。 除非你主板的北桥极其大或者高，我不预测任何评论。 我测试散热器有 EVGA 680i 和 技嘉EX38 DS4以及没有用那片特别的主板遇到的任何问题。
TEST CONFIGURATION测试构造

 ThermalRigth SI-128
 SilenX ICX-120HA2
 Retail Intel Cooler
RESULTS性能
Fan Performance风扇表现


Let’s start by looking at the efficiency of the different fan settings.  The Noctua NF-P12 fan is capable of three different rpms: 900, 1000, and 1300.  At 1300 rpm, the fan noise is definitely noticeable with the motherboard outside of the case.  However, once I installed the motherboard inside of the case and closed the side panel, the fan noise is barely audible.  At 1000 rpm and 900 rpm, you can hardly ever hear the fan noise once it is installed.  Since I also got the highly efficient S-Flex SFF21F which runs at 1500 rpm, I decided to throw that fan into the test and see the effectiveness of the NF-P12.
通过审查不同风扇设定的效率让开始。  Noctua NF-P12 的风扇有三种不同的转数/每分: 900,1000, 和 1300.  在 1300个转/每分，风扇噪音较明确显著。不过，我若将主板装入机箱内后，那噪音几乎是不能听见的。  在 1000个转/每分和 900个转/每分，一但它被安装后，是无法听到风扇的噪音。因为我拿到，1500rpm高度地有效率的 S-Flex SFF21 F， 我决定把那个风扇投入试验内，并看NF-P12的效力。
Looking at the result, we can generalize that at each incremental fan speed setting, we will expect to see about 1 degree Celsius in temperature reduction.  The noise level and the performance with the fan set at 900 rpm and 1000 rpm are virtually identical, I would say that if you want a quiet system, go for the 900 rpm setting but if you need silence but still wish to do a little overclock, go for the 1000 rpm setting.
看结果，我们能大概在确定的每增加风扇速度，我们将见到温度减少大约1摄氏度。 风扇噪声水平表现在900 rpm 和1000 rpm性能实际上相同， 我认为如果你想要一安静系统如，选择900 rpm确定是你的需要寂静，但是仍然希望做一些超频动作，从1000 rpm开始。
We can see that the S-Flex SFF21F which runs at 1500 rpm actually has the best performance in terms of heat dissipation.  However, this also comes in the expense of added noise.  The noise level of the S-Flex SFF21F is definitely higher than the NF-P12 running at 1300 rpm but it would be a good alternative fan choice if you wish to have the extra couple degrees of cooling especially when you are overclocking that quad core processor.
我们能见到在1500rpm  S-Flex SFF21 F实际上有最好性能用热驱散方式。  然而，这也附加噪音的费用。  S-电线 SFF21 F 的噪音水平在 1300个转/每分一定比 NF-P12 赛跑高，但是如果当你是超频那一个线组核心处理器的时候， S-Flex SFF21 F比NF-P12在1300 rpm 明显高， 特别是当你是超频时，是否你希望散热器的额外的夫妇学位，这将是好其它的风扇选择那台四的核心处理器。
Overall, the performance of the NF-P12 is excellent and the noise level is extremely low.
总起来，NF-P12的性能是极好的，噪声水平极其低。
Heatsink Performance散热器性能


Now, let’s compare NH-C12P with other heatsinks.  We gathered a few of the best heatsinks available on the market to test.  For this test, we have the retail Intel Heatsink and fan and ThermalTake Big Typhoon and SilenX IXC-120HA2.  Since both ThermalTake and SilenX heatsink do not have the fan build into the heatsink, we decided to test both of the heatsinks with the Noctua NF-P12. This way, we take the fan out of the equation and the result will be directly reflects the effectiveness of each heatsink in terms of conducting heat.
现在, 让我们把 NH-C12 与其他的散热器作比较。  我们聚集在市场上市场上可提供的最好的散热器中的一些。  对于这一个测试, 我们有零售Intel散热器 和ThermalTake大台风和 SilenX IXC-120HA-2.  我们决定用 Noctua NF－P12 测试ThermalTake 和 SilenX heatsink . 这样，我们从相等风扇和结果将会直接反映出每个散热器的效力用引导热方式。
It is quite obvious that the retail Intel heatsink simply cannot compete with the aftermarket heatsink and fan.  At low level of heat output, all three heatsinks perform equally well with the SilenX ICX-120HA2 leading and Noctua NH-C12P taking the second place.  The performance is so close that it would be hard to say which one is clearly the winner.
零售Intel散热器仅仅不能同零配件市场散热器和风扇竞争是十分明显的。 在发热量的低的水平，全部3 个散热器用SilenX ICX-120HA-2 平等好执行主要和Noctua NH- C12P(替代第2 位置)。表现是接近，因而说哪一个清楚地是胜利者会是困难。
Once we overclock our processor to the 3.2GHz, we can see that the SilenX IXC-120HA2 actually is able to keep the CPU running cooler than the Noctua NH-C12P or ThermalRight SI-128 at idle.  The surprise comes when we look at the load temperature of the overclocked CPU, we see that Noctua actually is able to keep the CPU running at the same temperature as SilenX ICX-120HA2.  It is quite surprising to see the horizontal mounting cooler actually is able to perform at the same level as the vertical mounting cooler.  This shows that Noctua actually is able to conduct heat much more efficiently at high heat ouput than the SilenX ICX-120HA2 and it may attributed to the Noctua’s unique design of having the heat pipes extend to the base of the heatsink.
一经我们对 3.2GHz 的处理器超频, 我们能见到 SilenX IXC-120HA-2  实际上能够使处理器保持流动的比 Noctua NH-C12P 或者 ThermalRight SI-128 凉爽。  但当我们看被超频的处理器的负荷温度的时候，惊奇发现, 我们见到 Noctua NH-C12P与SilenX IXC-120HA-2  一般相同的温度使处理器保持流动比， 实际上见到水平的架设冷却器是相当令人惊讶能够在如同垂直的架设一般的水平冷却器运行。  这表示 Noctua 实际上能够引导热更加有效率地在高热 ouput 比较 SilenX ICX-120HA 2，可能归功于到 Noctua 的独特设计对 heatsink 的基础让热管扩充。
CONCLUSION结论
I was extremely surprised by the result of the NH-C12P.  At low heat output, its performance may not be the leader of the pack but once the heat output has increased, its efficiency clearly shines above the other horizontal mounting heatsink (ThermalRight SI-128 that was used in the review).  It even performs on par with the SilenX, which is a vertical heatsink that usually has a slightly better cooling than the horizontal heatsink.  NH-C12P is able to offer a great performance while keeping the noise level low with the included fan even at the highest RPM.
我对 NH-C12 P 的结果感到惊讶。 在低的发热量， 它的性能可能不仅仅一次是包的领导人发热量已经增加，它的效率清楚高于其它水平面安装散热器发亮 (在回顾里，被使用的ThermalRight SI-128) . 它更在相同水平与SilenX一起上执行，哪个是通常喝一有点最好冷却的水平的散热器的一垂直散热器。 NH-C12P能在保持时提供一次大的表演 甚至在最高的RPM的与被包括风扇低的噪声电平。
我对 NH-C12 P 的结果感到惊讶。  在低的发热量，它的表现不可能是包裹的领袖，但是一经热输出已经增加, 它的效率清楚地在另一个水平的架设 heatsink(被用于检讨的 ThermalRight SI-128) 上面发亮。  它甚至在和 SilenX 的标准上运行,这是通常超过水平的 heatsink 有一个些微比较好的冷却的垂直的 heatsink 。  当甚至在最高的 RPM 和被包括在内的狂热者保存噪音同高的低点时候， NH-C12P能够提供很棒的表现。
We can see that Noctua really pays attention to detail when they design their cooler.  It is the little details, such as the color manual, curved edges, and clearly labeled accessories, that put it above other manufacturers.  Adding this to the excellent performance and six year warranty make the Noctua NH-C12P a winning combination. Given to the low height of the NH-C12P and quiet fan, it would make a great cooler for HTPC.  Even if you plan to overclock your HTPC, this cooler will sure able to keep the CPU running quiet and cool while you are enjoying in your entertainments.
我们能看见当Noctua他们设计这散热器时真的注意每个细节。 它是每个小细节，例如颜色手工，弄弯的边缘，并且清楚给附件贴标签，把它看得比其他制造商认真和仔细。更加入优质产品性能提供 6 年保证Noctua NH-C12P是它获胜的组合。 给在这低高端或静音的爱好者，它会为 HTPC 制造一个很棒的冷却散热器。即使将对HTPC进行你的超频计划时, 这散热器将会在你娱乐享受的之余，提供安静和良好冷却散热效能。
At retail price of $69.90 USD, the Noctual NH-C12P would be a good investment if you seek for a quiet system with highest overclocking potential.  The fact that Noctua is offering a bracket for the upcoming Intel Socket 1366 processor makes this even a better investment should you plan to upgrade to that processor in the near future.  The only real drawback for the NH-C12P would be the availability.  I did a quick google around the web and did not find many big online retailers carrying this cooler.  For those retailers, such as Amazon, which carry the cooler, they are currently out of stock.  Hopefully, we will be able to find more retailers stocking the coolers soon so potential buyers can get their hand on this baby.
以$69.90美元的零售价，如果你有对超频需求寻找一个安静的系统，Noctua NH-C12P 将是你的好投资。 事实上， Noctua 为即将到来Intel 插槽1366处理器，提供一个适合升级方案和扣具是你最好的投资。 Noctua NH-C12P的唯一的真正的不利将是可用性。 我在网上google搜索，并且发现很多在线的零售商没有这散热器。 对那些零售商来说，例如亚马逊河，这散热器，他们目前售完无存货。 希望，我们能找到更多的零售商，提供更多潜在购买者得到这宝贝的散热器。
