Product Description & Info
New Page 1
The NH-L12 is a low-profile quiet cooler designed for use in small form
factor cases and HTPC environments. With its flexible
NF-F12 (120mm) /
NF-B9 (92mm) dual PWM fan setup, the NH-L12 can be configured either for
full performance in dual fan mode or extra-low profile (66mm) with the top fan
removed. Bundled with the award-winning
NT-H1 thermal compound and Noctua’s SecuFirm2™ multi-socket mounting system,
the NH-L12 packs everything a premium quality quiet cooler needs into a highly
compact package.
Caution: The NH-L12 is a low-profile quiet cooler designed for use in small
form factor cases and HTPC environments. While it provides first rate
performance in its class, it is not suitable for overclocking and should be used
with care on CPUs with more than 95W TDP (Thermal Design Power). Please consult
our TDP
guidelines to find out whether the NH-L12 is recommended for your CPU.

120/92mm dual fan
design
Thanks to its exquisite dual fan setup consisting of Noctua’s highly
optimised NF-F12 (120mm) and NF-B9 (92mm) premium fans, the NH-L12
pushes the bar in terms of low-profile quiet cooling performance.

Extra-low profile in
92mm single-fan mode
The NH-L12 can be used with the NF-B9 92mm fan only in order to reduce
the overall height to 66mm. This way, the cooler is suitable for many
typical µATX or Mini-ITX enclosures and ideal for whisper-quiet HTPC
systems.

PWM support and
Low-Noise Adaptors
The NH-L12’s NF-F12 and NF-B9 fans support PWM for convenient automatic
speed control. In addition, the maximum fan speed can be reduced to
1200/1300rpm using the supplied Low-Noise Adaptors for even quieter
operation.

SecuFirm2™ mounting
system
Noctua’s enthusiast grade SecuFirm2™ multi-socket mounting provides
broad socket compatibility (LGA 2011, LGA1366, LGA1156, LGA1155, LGA775,
AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1) and meets the highest demands in safety,
performance and ease-of-use.

Mini-ITX mounting
without backplate
Some Intel based Mini-ITX mainboards don’t allow for the installation of
backplates. The NH-L12 thus comes with an extra set of Intel mounting
bolts which make it possible to install the cooler without using the
SecuFirm2™ backplate.

NT-H1 thermal
compound
Noctua's much-acclaimed NT-H1 is a well proven pro-grade TIM solution
that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease-of-use and
outstanding reliability. |
