Specifications
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.

Details
 |
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.
