Noctua NH-D12L, 120 mm CPU Cooler, Noctua Brown

The NH-D12L is engineered as a low-height dual-tower CPU cooler, designed specifically to address clearance limitations within compact systems and 4U server rack environments. The unit maintains a height profile of 145mm, minimizing interference issues often associated with standard 120mm dual-tower coolers. This optimized dimension ensures full compatibility with tall RAM modules across supported motherboard platforms. The heatsink utilizes a construction incorporating a nickel-plated copper base and five 6mm copper heat pipes to facilitate efficient thermal transfer to the aluminum fin stack.

Cooling performance is provided by a single NF-A12x25r 120mm fan, which features an SSO2 bearing system for enhanced stability and longevity. The rotational speed is regulated via 4-pin PWM control, operating across a range of 450 RPM to 2000 RPM. This configuration generates a maximum static pressure of 2.34 mmH2O while limiting acoustic output to 22.6 dB at maximum speed. The cooler is rated to manage thermal loads up to 148W, covering compatibility with both current Intel and AMD socket specifications including LGA1700 and AM5.
