Noctua NH-L12S CPU Air Cooler Intel LGA2066, LGA2011-0 & LGA2011-3 (Square ILM), LGA1200, LGA1156, LGA1155, LGA1151, LGA1150 & AMD AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, AM4, FM1, FM2, FM2+

Excelente disipador, puede con un 14600K sin problemas. El único tema es que su compatibilidad en itx es limitada ya que las motherboards más recientes tienen heatsink de vram muy altos, para esos casos es más recomendado la versión ghost.

The Noctua NH-L12S is a top-tier low-profile CPU cooler. On my Ryzen 5 3600X it cools really well and stays nice and quiet, exactly what you want in a build where noise matters. The build quality feels solid and premium, and the fan runs smoothly without sounding loud or buzzy. Even in heavier loads, temperatures stay well-controlled and I haven’t had any thermal issues. If you need a compact cooler that still performs great without making noise, this is a fantastic choice. For me, it’s a clear win — strong cooling, very low noise, and overall just a very dependable product. Would definitely use it again.

Prodotto veramente valido, adatto per case di dimensioni medie e piccole. Il rumore della ventola non si sente nemmeno a regime massimo di funzionamento. Le temperature sono ben controllate, montato sul nuovo socket 1200 per un i7-10700K, raggiunge una temperatura massima che fluttua i 70 e gli 80 gradi mantenendo il clock dinamico del turbo boost technology. Utilizzando il processore al massimo del boost fisso a 5.1GHz, le temperature salgono oltre i 90°, in tal caso è meglio montare il modello NH-U12A o NH-U12S che sono piu' performanti. Il montaggio è semplice, ma serve un po' di manualità. La parte più complessa è il fissaggio del radiatore ai supporti, ci vuole un po' di pazienza per centrare e fissare le viti di entrambi i lati.

Easy install, very low. Will fit in a 2U 19" PC case (if they risers of the board are not too high). I used it in a Inter-Tech 2U-2504. Cools pretty good on a modern I3. Also very silent.

I’ve been using Noctua coolers and fans for years, and the NH-L12S 70mm Low Profile CPU Cooler is yet another excellent addition to my NAS build. I chose this cooler primarily for its low-profile design, which fits perfectly into my custom 3D-printed NAS case, and of course, Noctua's reputation for high-quality and quiet components. Performance: Cooling Efficiency: The NH-L12S performs just as expected - great cooling with quiet operation. For the best results, I recommend replacing the thermal paste that comes with the cooler with a PTM7950 thermal pad, as it further enhances thermal conductivity. Noise Level: The 120mm PWM fan is incredibly quiet. In fact, my hard drives are louder than this cooler. It truly lives up to Noctua’s promise of silent operation. Installation: Mounting Process: The installation was smooth, with clear, step-by-step instructions. I had no issues mounting it on my 1700 LGA socket, and it fit perfectly into the build. Clearance: There were no clearance issues with other components (like RAM, GPU, or PSU). The cooler’s ability to rotate and install in different orientations ensures flexibility in compact builds. Build Quality: Premium Design: As expected, Noctua's materials and design are top-notch. The cooler feels sturdy, and the fan quality is consistent with the brand’s reputation. Packaging: Protection During Delivery: The packaging was more than adequate to protect the cooler during shipping. Included Accessories: The cooler includes all necessary mounting brackets and installation kits for both AMD and Intel setups, making it versatile for various builds. Value for Money: For anyone looking for a reliable, quiet, and efficient cooler, the Noctua NH-L12S is a proven solution. Despite its price, the quality and performance justify the cost. Final Verdict: I highly recommend the Noctua NH-L12S for anyone building a compact system or NAS. It fits perfectly, performs efficiently, and keeps your CPU cool without making any noise. As always, Noctua delivers exceptional products that are built to last.
