Noctua NH-L12S Low Profile High Performance CPU Cooler

The NH-L12S is a compact low-profile CPU cooler, that combines excellent compatibility, surprising efficiency and remarkable flexibility. Thanks to its NF-A12x15 PWM, slim fan, the NH-L12S provides even better quiet cooling performance. At the same time, the NH-L12S is highly versatile: with the fan installed on top of the fins, the cooler is compatible with RAM modules of up to 48 mm in height. With the fan installed underneath the fins, the total height of the cooler is only 70 mm, making it suitable for use in many HTPC and small form factor cases. Topped off with the trusted, pro-grade SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system, Noctua's proven NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-L12S is a premium-quality low-profile solution for the high demands.

Product Features

• Low-profile mode
  Run with the NF-A12x15 fan installed underneath the fin stack, the NH-L12S stands optimally tall. The fan can be installed blowing upwards or blowing downwards in order to match the airflow direction inside the case.
• High-clearance mode
  Run with the NF-A12x15 fan installed on top, the NH-L12S provides extended clearance underneath the fin stack. This way, it is fully compatible with chipset coolers and RAM modules with heat-spreaders of up to 48 mm in height.
• NF-A12x15 slim premium fan
  Featuring sophisticated aerodynamic optimizations, such as flow acceleration channels, the NF-A12x15 is a premium-grade slim fan. Its outstanding efficiency allows the NH-L12S to provide even better performance.
• PWM support and low-noise adapter
  The NF-A12x15 premium fan supplied with the NH-L12S supports PWM for convenient automatic speed control through the motherboard. In addition, the maximum fan speed can be reduced, using the low-noise adapter for even quieter operation.
• SecuFirm2 mounting system
  Noctua's SecuFirm2 mounting systems have become synonymous with quality, safety and ease of use. Supporting Intel LGA115x, the SecuFirm2 mounting with the NH-L12S guarantees perfect contact pressure and maximum convenience on all current sockets.
