Superb design & build quality, Top notch performance for an air cooler, Flexibility to mount fan above or below fin stack, NT-H1 thermal paste included
Brown & cream fan colour will still divide opinion
As an air cooler alone, the NH-L12S is a fantastic buy for anyone. The fact that it's designed for small form factor builds, means that if this is the kind of cooler you need, you would be mad not to seriously consider it. It will come as no surprise that...
Quiet, even under extreme load, Small form factor, Well designed construction and setup, Excellent instructions, Included NT-H1 thermal paste, Will fit almost any CPU socket, Solid build quality
Brown fan is ugly
Taking everything into consideration, we've been impressed beyond belief with the Noctua NH-L12S, by all means, the heatsink should not have handled a 130W CPU, one of the most power-hungry CPUs of recent years, at that.The acoustics took a bit of a hit w...
Abstract: Introduction Here at TBG, we have a thing for coolers. In fact, at this point, we've tested more coolers than any other PC component, with nearly 50 under our belt. That means we have a very good sense of what the best models are, and more importantly, wh...

Abstract: In the era of AIOs (All In One Water Cooling) on everything, air coolers seem to slip through the cracks. But for small form factor and home theater PCs, they're usually the only option that will fit. Home theater PCs also come with a sometimes unexpected...

Form Factor, Slim Design, Good Performance in stock and OC configuration
Nothing significant
Coming to the end…For a single setup C-Type 120mm slim profile CPU cooler, the Noctua NH-L12S performs admirably. There are no complaints, apart from the clearance with the memory heatspreaders. I would prefer the top placement as C-type coolers indirect...
So, where do we stand with the Noctua NH-L12S CPU Cooler? We tend to keep a solid performer without going over the top for sound installed for all our tests until the next cooler comes along. This time it was the Cryorig H5 Universal, a good Cryorig offer...
As always, Noctua has not failed to impress us with build quality and performance. With these two coolers, they have continued to set the benchmark for a ‘premium' small form factor CPU cooling solution. Apart from the “love it or hate it” fan colour sche...
