NOCTUA NH-D12L 120 mm CPU Cooler - Brown, Brown

The NH-U12S-CH-BK is the perfect fit for a wide range of Intel and AMD sockets. The 120 mm fan pushes out plenty of air, but... moreit's compact enough to fit into most cases. But don't let the small size fool you. With up to 2000 RPM, it will keep your CPU running nice and cool. Good to know - It comes with the NT-H1 high-grade thermal compound for maximum heat transfer - The self-stabilising oil-pressure bearing makes the cooler quiet and reliable in the long run - It's fully RAM and PCIe compatible, so it won't interfere with your memory modules or GPU - Thanks to PWM control, the fan only turns on and speeds up when it needs to - The anti-vibration pads and low noise adapter minimise noise for a quieter setup - The SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system makes installation a piece of cake

Noctua Noctua NH-D12L Low Height Dual Tower CPU Cooler

The NH-D12L is a low-height 120mm class CPU cooler that has been conceived to combine outstanding quiet cooling performance w... moreith superior case compatibility. At a height of only 145mm (13mm lower than Noctua’s regular 120mm models), it fits many 4U enclosures as well as narrower tower cases that have been previously limited to solutions with 92mm fans. At the same time, its five heatpipe dual-tower design and state-of-the-art NF-A12x25r 120mm fan allow it to achieve a level of efficiency that surpasses many full-height 120mm models. Thanks to its single-fan configuration and asymmetrical fin stacks, the NH-D12L provides 100% RAM compatibility on AMD AM4/AM5 and LGA1700/1200 by staying clear of the memory slots. Topped off with the renowned SecuFirm2 mounting system, Noctua’s award-winning NT-H1 thermal compound and a 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, the NH-D12L is the perfect choice for applications that require serious cooling performance but cannot fit the larger NH-U12A.145mm height for broader case compatibilityWhile Noctua’s regular 120mm CPU coolers stand 158mm tall, the NH-D12L measures only 145mm. This allows it to fit not only a wide range of 4U rackmount server cases and many tower-style enclosures that are not wide enough for 158mm units, but also some larger Small Form Factor (SFF) and Mini-ITX chassis.More performance at lower heightDespite its reduced height, the NH-D12L easily outperforms 92mm coolers. It can even surpass renowned 120mm units such as the NH-U12S and often comes close to Noctua’s award-winning 120mm flagship model NH-U12A.Round-frame NF-A12x25r PWM fanIntroduced in 2018, Noctua’s NF-A12x25 is widely considered to be the best 120mm fan on the market. The round-frame variant used on the NH-D12L provides the same renowned quiet cooling performance yet makes it possible to reduce overall cooler height without risking compatibility issues with tall motherboard heatsinks or shrouds.100% RAM compatibility on LGA1700/1200 and AM4/AM5Due to its asymmetric design, the NH-D12L does not overhang the RAM slots on Intel LGA1700 (LGA17xx family)/LGA1200/LGA115x and AMD AM4/AM5 based motherboards, which ensures easy access to the modules and 100% compatibility with DIMMs that feature tall heat-spreaders or RGB lighting. On LGA2066, the rear fin stack will overhang the RAM slots on the left-hand side of the socket, so RAM modules must not exceed 45mm height.PWM support and Low-Noise AdaptorsThe NF-A12x25r 120mm fan supplied with the NH-D12L supports PWM for convenient automatic speed control through the motherboard: full performance under load, virtually silent at idle! In addition, the maximum fan speed can be reduced from 2000 to 1700rpm using the supplied Low-Noise Adaptor for even quieter operation.Dual-fan optionsThe NH-D12L ships with a second pair of fan clips that can be used to install a second NF-A12x25r PWM fan either on the front or on the rear fin stack. However, it must be noted that

Alpine freshness

The Noctua NH-D12L is the smallest dual-tower CPU cooler at just 14.5cm. The typical height of the cooler is 15.5 - 16.5 cm. Moreover, the width of the two towers is different: the right one is one and a half times thinner, so as not to overlap the RAM modules. The left one is thicker to dissipate more heat.

Anti-corrosion coating

The towers are connected by five copper heat pipes coated with nickel for corrosion protection. The sole in contact with the processor, traditionally for the products of this Austrian brand, is one-piece. For modern processors, the crystal of which has an elongated shape or several chiplets, this is a more reasonable solution than direct contact of heat pipes.

stabilizes itself

A 12-cm fan is installed between the towers on Noctua SSO2 proprietary self-stabilizing bearing. The rotation speed varies from 450 to 2000 rpm. The upper limit can be lowered using the supplied LNA resistor. There are mounts for all current processor sockets, including the latest Intel LGA 1700 and AMD AM5.
