Noctua is back in the house with a new Noctua NH-D12L CPU Cooler that we review this round. The L in the name is short for low height. As always the product is silent and offers proper cooling. Let's have a peek, shall we?

On par with the D15 and above the D15S? Weird stuff from smaller cooler. What did they change?

I love noctua coolers but d15s is huuuge. this is compact and performs the same
This my only complaint with the D15s, aside from knicks and cuts on my hands connecting to fan headers close to it.

D12L (with fan)
Height = 145 mm
Width = 125 mm
Depth = 113 mm
Weight = 890 g

D15s (with fan)
Height = 160 mm
Width = 150 mm
Depth = 135 mm
Weight = 1150 g

Surprising it can do this with a single fan between the 2 towers.
I'd be tempted to put another fan on it to see what happens.
