Performance is important not its differences between other coolers : ]

And I bet this thing is freaken outstanding personally.

More fin = more cooler = more performance! :toast:

Not necessarily, the noctua comes with a fan, the fin spacing could be optimised for that fan in particular.

They may of found it made a fraction of a difference having that many fins so they didn't bother.

They're is more to the design then amount of fins.

My HR-O3 GT VGA cooler is smaller then my Twin Turbo by Artic cooling, yet it beats it by a fair bit performance wise : }

too many fins and you restrict airflow, which can also affect temps negatively (unless you have high pressure fans)

This setup could be optimised for a large, low CFM, low pressure fan for quiet/silent enthusiasts

I would love to use this in a HTPC actually.

But my geminii-s perform well with that fin gap with auto fan speed enable!
If noctua add some more fin like (geminii-s fin gap), i believe it not cause a problem for cooling but its more power of cooling. Noctua team should know how it perform & their cannot make it perform sooooo well since they want to lunch new product that better than this NH-C12P.

If new product performance is still same with the old one... who want buy the expensive?

I've no idea about this big missing bit though, seems to not make much sense.

The missing bit also helps more air get to the motherboard components.
The original C12P is a good cooler. I have one and do 4GHz with a C0 E8500, loads at about 58c, 1,328v.

The best part is, I can keep the fan at full speed and never hear a thing.

Here is the grand daddy of this type of cooler. It was an excellent s775 cooler, and honestly among the highest build quality of any cooler I've ever owned.

But why oh why are they sticking to these awful colored fans. Sure they are high quality, but they are also butt ugly.

Until this is pretty cooler

Well close, but according to the chronological order the Thermalright SI-97 (which the GF thought looked like the Star Trek Enterprise) would be the great grand dad of this type.... then the XP-90, then XP-120, then what I still use now the SI-128 which I love with a high pressure fan on it.

Edit: If you're talking performance wise I still think I'd bet on this lapped SI-128 with a 120x38mm Silverstone pushing some serious air through the high density fins.
