## Overview

The Noctua NH-L12S is a premium low-profile CPU cooler designed for small form factor and HTPC systems, featuring a highly efficient 120mm NF-A12x15 PWM fan, a compact 70mm height, and versatile fan mounting options. It includes the trusted SecuFirm2 mounting system compatible with a wide range of Intel and AMD sockets, and comes with professional-grade NT-H1 thermal paste. Backed by a 6-year warranty, it delivers quiet, reliable cooling ideal for Intel Core Ultra and AMD Ryzen processors without overclocking.

## Description

Product Description Successor to the popular NH-L12, the NH-L12S is a compact low-profile CPU cooler that combines excellent compatibility, surprising efficiency and remarkable flexibility. Thanks to its NF-A12x15 PWM, slim 120mm fan, the NH-L12S provides even better quiet cooling performance than the previous model with its 92mm fan. At the same time, the NH-L12S is highly versatile: with the fan installed on top of the fins, the cooler is compatible with RAM modules of up to 48mm in height. With the fan installed underneath the fins, the total height of the cooler is only 70mm, making it suitable for use in many HTPC and Small Form Factor cases. Topped off with the trusted, pro-grade SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-L12S is a premium-quality low-profile solution for the highest demands. Low-profile mode Run with the NF-A12x15 fan installed underneath the fin stack, the NH-L12S stands only 70mm tall. The fan can be installed blowing upwards or blowing downwards in order to match the airflow direction inside the case. High-clearance mode Run with the NF-A12x15 fan installed on top, the NH-L12S provides extended clearance underneath the fin stack. This way, it is fully compatible with chipset coolers and RAM modules with heat-spreaders of up to 48mm in height (vs. 35mm in low-profile mode). NF-A12x15 slim 120mm premium fan Featuring sophisticated aerodynamic optimisations such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A12x15 is a premium-grade slim 120mm fan. Its outstanding efficiency allows the NH-L12S to provide even better performance than the previous model with its 92mm fan. NT-H1 thermal compound Noctua’s much-acclaimed NT-H1 is a pro-grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability. Chosen again and again by overclockers and enthusiast users worldwide, it has established itself as a benchmark for premium-quality thermal compounds.

While it provides first-rate performance in its class, it is not suitable for overclocking and or CPUs that create high heat loads.

Review: Cool, quiet, quality. Cools a 125 watt FX 8350 - Background: I needed to resurrect and cool an old AMD FX 8350 (No laughing) 125watt 8 core processor in a small case under my TV with poor airflow. M-atx board too. I needed a low height and upward firing of the heat. This fitted the bill, not the cheapest option though. Fitting: It will fit am3, am4, fm2 and most recent Intel sockets. All mounts provided and easy instructions. Fitting was a case of finding which direction to place it. One direction the heat pipes caught the 1st ram module. Turning 90 degrees solved that. (Different mounting brackets depending on which way round you place it). It mounts on the backplate you already have for your motherboard (AMD). With the fan under the heatsink, firing upward, it clears my Hyper Fury X by 2mm! Anyone with larger ram with bigger heatsinks will probably need the fan above firing down. It runs silently, literally and I haven't got the chip over 50 degrees with stress tests!! The chip runs at 4ghz, I did overclock briefly to 4.2ghz and it stayed at 50 degrees and still quiet. My tips: I didn't use the Stepdown cable, I just let the board control it. It comes with Noctua paste which I used as it appears to be better than my mx-4 by what I read. I found a long screwdriver was better than the one provided. I also turned off the low fan warning in bios as it turned too slowly on startup making my pc think it wasn't working. Summary: I'm converted! Better than expected, cooler, quieter. Quality.
Review: A Quiet, Almost Silent Cooler - I don't write reviews often but I felt this cooler was worthy of one. It arrived in good condition in very well designed packaging. There were three different instruction manuals for different socket types respectively, thermal paste was also included! Mounting system was very simple and effective, screwdriver included. Fan is very quiet even without low noise adapter, and almost silent with the adapter! Temperatures are good, with my i5 3570K @4Ghz (Boost to 4.4GHz), around 30C idle and up to ~65C under load (although this is with low noise adapter). My only gripe is that the fan mounting wires (if you choose to switch to high clearance layout) can be difficult to attach without damaging the heatsink fins. All in all a great cooler and well worth the money!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can you use 2 fans on this one under and one on top if so are attachments included ?**
A: Not officially Supported , no, but I guess you may fit a attachement clip there might be just enough space to propel a fan over. Might want to just get a fan over it to cool it some more but it did really well in a shoebox Elite 130 case with cables all over with a 8 core 1700x cpu on a mini itx just if you build make sure your ram is lpx or Lower in height or use 2 slots to the right in ATX/MATX board as I could not fit any taller ram

**Q: How does this compare to original NH-L12 performance?**
A: pretty much identical.

**Q: Can you attach a fan to the top of the cooler like the NH-L12 did?**
A: Yes you can move the fan to the top.

**Q: will this work with a intel socket 1151 LGA**
A: Yes.  I fitted one of these to an Asus Z390A motherboard last  year.  That board has LGA 1151.  I didn't have a problem.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant low profile Cooler
*by N***B on 11 January 2024*

Honestly so glad I purchased this CPU cooler. It has been a night and day difference compared to my old stock cooler that came with the case. It was starting to get too noisy to bare and wasn't sufficient enough to keep my CPU cool aswell. Just on PC start up the fan would run at about 1950 RPM with an average CPU temperature of about 65°C. With this Noctua cooler, it is now much quieter, running at about 650-700 RPM on start up and it literally halfed the CPU temperature which is now running at about 32°C. Made such a clear difference and would highly recommend.
