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?

nice perfomance though i wouldnt mind seeing how they hand 6-8core cpus 4core done with at this point

# of Cores isn't really irrelevant to the test methodology. It's about the heat output of a processor (TDP = 1:1 in Heat/Watt).

Now get rid of those horrible colours and as The Rolling Stones said i want it painted black.

Chromax version will probably come out 3 years from now.

Still in love with prolimatech Armageddon, this one has a true high quality mounting system.
Noctua should hire better engineers of fire their CEO, if he decided all that cheap tricks as cooler mounting system, along low quality heatpipes.

Probably why everyone copies the Noctua mounting system these days, because it's fantastic.

I dont understand why you reviewers cant calculate CPU power based on P = U x I. This way we no longer base cooling on Intel or AMD way to calculate TDP and we can choose colling based on this quite well.
It's elementary physics. Power = Volt x Amp. Ex. 12V & 10A=120W
You dont have an Amper metter?
Or you have instructions from vendors not to do it?

My i7 4790 at default speed, with a Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 (150w cooling) dont jump over 60 celsius.
