Conclusion:
After testing the NH-U12P SE2, this cooler has now found a permanent home in my system. I'm a silent PC component fanatic and this is simply the quietest CPU cooler I have laid hands on to date. Not only is it the quietest, but it's the highest performing cooler I've ever tested in the way of silent CPU cooler products. At nearly $80 Canadian I will admit that the NH-U12P SE2 is a hefty investment for a CPU cooler. However, after having the opportunity to experience one myself, I would not hesitate to buy another for any of my other systems or to recommend it as a very strong performing silent CPU cooler - if not one of the best silent CPU coolers on the market.

Pros:
Unmatched silence
Two included NH-P12 fans give added performance and added silence by sharing the work at lower speeds
Quietest CPU cooler I have used to date
Performance was top notch, especially for being a silent cooler

Cons:
It will be a costly investment for some people
