Conclusion

With the Nirvana NV120 Zerotherm did a good job and only the noisy fan disturbs the good overall impression. With the standard rotation speed the cooler is able to climb into the top third of our chart. When the fan is regulated to a moderate speed of 1000 rpm it is still in the top half.

The high quality manufacturing process and the coolers nice looks leave a very good impression. The NV120 is made completely out of copper which is black nickel coated. Together with the blue illuminated 120 mm fan it looks just great. Also mounting the cooler is easy and via the backplate it fits perfectly.

If you drive the fan a 12 volts it is subjectively very noisy. 6 volts were still enough to reliably cool our test environment. Futhermore the cooler was subjectively silent at 6 volts. At 12 volts an 25 percent overclocking was possible without any problems.

You can buy Zerotherms Nirvana NV120 Premium at Digitec to a price of CHF 65.-
