Noctua Announces NH-L12 Low-Profile CPU Cooler

By Nathan Kirsch

Noctua today presented its new NH-L12 low-profile cooler for Small Form Factor cases and HTPC environments. The NH-L12 features a flexible NF-F12 (120mm) / NF-B9 (92mm) dual PWM fan setup that can be configured either for full performance in dual fan mode or extra-low profile (66mm) with the top fan removed. Noctua informed us that this CPU cooler is not suitable for overclocking and should be used with care on CPUs with more than 95W TDP (Thermal Design Power) as this cooler is nit designed for those usage scenarios. The NH-L12 will be available immediately at a recommended retail price of EUR 49.90 or $59.90 in the United States.

Noctua NH-L12 Specifications:

  • 66mm x 128mm x 150mm (HxWxD w/o fan)
  • Weight w/o Fan: 415 g
  • Weight w/ Fan: 680 g
  • Warranty: 6 Years

“The industry trend towards Small Form Factor and Home Theatre PCs is well-established, but there’s still a lack of suitable high-quality quiet CPU coolers”, explains Mag. Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO. “Building a powerful PC always requires a capable CPU, which in return demands a competent cooling solution. But who wants his HTPC to sound like a jet engine? This is precisely where the NH-L12 steps in.”
