Hey guys, I wanted to do a poll on the two coolers to see which one is more preferred and why. Thanks
Noctua coolers are literally the quietest coolers you can get on the market. Thermaltake V8 will for sure be louder.
Umm...no, the NH-C12P beats the V8 pretty easily.I prefer the noctua for looks, but the V8 for performance. I'm not sure which I would rather thave in my system tbh. I think if I were buying right now I would probably go for the noctua out of the 2
However, prefer the megahalems for both performance AND looks AND for the money it leaves in your pocket

One thing I do want to ask.. whats the wattage consumption for the NH-C12P? I know the V8 takes 180 watts
Just curious as to how it does? From videos that I've seen the Noctua's are pretty quiet vs the V8. The V8 puts out a tad bit more cfm. I didn't look at how many heat pipe there were between the two, but just wanted to know why you chose what you did Thanks.
I really like this site's method of testing;

According to their synthetic benchmarks, the V8 is better. Between the two, I'd probably stick with it as well, just be sure you have space for it. The V8 is massive!
Thermalright and Thermaltake are not the same company, and Thermolab is not affiliated with either.Now I should have added more coolers, but I didn't. Reason is, if I could narrow it down.. I could get a more accurate result or at least I think. Since Noctua is a well known brand, how well is their product compared to Thermolab Baram(no fan attached, even though I will be purchasing a Noctua to any heatsink I purchase)? To my knowledge, isn't Thermolab based off the same company that makes Thermalright and Thermaltake? Thanks guys so far for helpin out!! I just can't say thank you enough
Oh one last thing... Scottalot said that the U12P can have two fans which is pretty "cool" Can the same thing be said for this Thermolab heatsink too (I think it can by looking at the edges closely, but I wanted to make sure)? Both of these coolers are monsters to say the least! Overall I know I'll be choosing an excellent one!
