The NH-L12S is a niche product and made to suit a small cross-section of system builds. If you don't have a need for a low profile cooler, opt for a tower cooler such as the Noctua NH-U12S, a better option at the same price allowing the air to pass straig...
Overall, we were greatly pleased with the NH-L12S's results starting off with its high-end, quality materials, excellent build quality, low noise levels, and generally, its performance. Not only that, but this cooler from Noctua also comes at a very affor...
All in all, we are pleased with the results the Noctua NH-L12S. Starting off with high-end materials, delivering superior build quality, soldering pipes to the base as well as the fins, using thicker fins, and ending with a cooler that can increase airflo...

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...
