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?

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

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.
