Well how would I rate the ZEROTherm NV 120 Premium CPU Cooler? I think the results show in the graphs on the last page say everything there is to say about this cooler but we will elaborate a little more here. It is nice to see a cooler in a color other than the stock bare brushed aluminum. The fact that the coating (anodized I think) didn't hurt the performance of the cooler is a plus. The NV 120 is a large heat pipe cooler but its by no means the largest on the market. It will however be limited to installations on mid-towers and up. Sure you can probably modify a SFF case to accommodate it but it will still be very tight. ZEROTherm has allowed its users to be able to rotate the cooler to their liking, which I find is a must. The performance of the NV 120 puts it at the top of the list for air cooled CPU coolers. I actually have no complaints about the ZEROTherm NV 120 Premium CPU cooler.
