Review: Noctua NH-D12L CPU Cooler
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?

Lovely cooler.
I guess it depends how many Watts you need to cool.
Up to say 150W even smaller coolers can do just fine.

when i build a rig for younger family members Noctua has been the go-to. mainly because once installed (by me) it's idiot-proof. the issue has been every "significant other" wants a SFF or all-in-one pc.
the NH-D12L can fit into small-ish cases and it's still cheaper than many aio's (with a longer lifespan).
now if they can steal a march on Be Quiet! and offer a black anodized model (as if) it would be all of that AND the bag of chips.

wow
it's surprisingly good despite the size
im going to get one perhaps
d15s served me for 7 years and it's like brand new
which means I can still get a lot of its original value back
I love noctua coolers but d15s is huuuge. this is compact and performs the same
