Is it the A70 Dual fan?

The A70 Dual fan is a better cooler than the NH U12P

If its the old one, with a single fan, then I'd say keep the U12P or you can(If possible) try out the A70 & see if it gives you better temps.

thats the exact one with the 2 fans got an i5 3570k clocked to 4.6 at the moment so that will be handy and just looked at that review before coming on to toms again but thanks for the help
