I've currently got two of the NF-P12s on my NH-U12P and they don't seem to push much air (I've got a Q9550 clocked to 4GHz) so was considering two of the Ultra Kaze 2000s which have received pretty good reviews.

Where are you getting one from - I thought they were out of stock everywhere..?
£17 on a fan
get a couple of yate-loon 2000rpm fans and put them through a fan controllerIf you like to run a very quiet system but still have good performance then the Noctua's are hard to beat. You would get away running these at full speed they are so quiet. I run a single NF-P12 on my TRUE and with my Q6600 at 3.6ghz the warmest core doesn't top 69c.
If you aren't that bothered about the fan noise and want a little better performance, then look at the Sharkoon Silent Eagles 2000RPM, although you might want to run these through a fan controller as they are anything but silent at full speed.

Slip streams are not very good for use on heatsinks or radiators, they are best suited for intake/exhaust fans as they lose a lot of CFM.

Fixed
thanks for all the responses.
The company has just got back to me to say that they might not be able to get me the true black after all.
Is the standard ultra 120 extreme worth buying instead? I was trying to get the black version as i had read its base wasn't as uneven as the standard model and so didn't need lapped . I'm a bit of a DIY disaster area and so didn't want to try lapping.
Maybe i should just be looking to get a different cooler.

I too am a DIY hopeless case. but lapping is not that hard, and you do not requitre a mirror finish. Just a smooth flat one.
Telling you would break forum rules.
Googling Thermalright True Black 120 is sure to bring you back some results though.
I ordered one at the weekend. Strange how OcUK don't even list them any more.

Well, I have just ordered a Sunbeam, which will be all I'll ever need...
I did look at Google,and couldn't see anyone selling them in the UK a few days ago - maybe I just missed it, but am happy to let OcUK have my business again..
