Product details

Powerful dual-tower CPU cooler for AM5 and LGA1700 sockets. Compatible with AM4, AM5, LGA 1150, LGA 1151, LGA 1155, LGA 1156, LGA 1200, LGA 1700, LGA 2011, LGA 2011 R3, and LGA 2066 processor sockets. Cooling type: Active (with fan). Dimensions (HxWxD): 158 mm x 125 mm x 112 mm. Maximum fan speed: 2000 rpm. Maximum airflow: 102.1 m³/h. Noise level during operation: 22.6 dBA.

The NH-D12L is a 120mm-class CPU cooler that offers a unique combination of excellent silent cooling performance and outstanding case compatibility due to its particularly low height. With a height of only 145 mm (13 mm lower than classic 120 mm Noctua models), it fits into numerous 4U systems as well as narrower tower cases that were previously limited to solutions with 92 mm fans.

Thanks to its dual-tower design with five heat pipes and the groundbreaking 120 mm fan NF-A12 x 25r, it achieves a performance level that surpasses many full-height 120 mm models. The single-fan configuration and asymmetric design ensure that the NH-D12L does not extend over the memory slots on AMD AM4/AM5 and Intel LGA1700/1200, thus providing 100% RAM compatibility.

The high-quality overall package is rounded off by the proven SecuFirm2 mounting system, Noctua's renowned NT-H1 thermal paste, and a 6-year manufacturer warranty. All in all, the NH-D12L is the perfect choice when top-notch cooling performance is needed, but there isn't enough space for the larger NH-U12A.
