The Same Excellence of NH-D12L But In Black!

[Press Release] The Noctua NH-D12L needs no introduction. Thanks to its compact form factor and performance, the cooler has often been paired with cases like the Lian Li O11 Dynamic.

Noctua’s latest introduction, the NH-D12L Black, expands this lineup, allowing all-black setups to utilize the same level of consistency and cooling. Based on a low-height 120mm class form factor, it boasts an identical feature set as its predecessor.

However, the key difference is its black aesthetic. With black fan clips, anti-vibration pads, and more, it offers a refreshing new look. Noctua boasts a height of just 145mm, making this CPU cooler capable of fitting into 4U enclosures.

It is also 13mm lower than Noctua’s usual range of 120mm class coolers.

Despite its lower-than-typical height, the Noctua NH-D12L boasts a more efficient design than many full-height 120mm class coolers. This is made possible thanks to the NF-A12x25r 120mm fan and a five heatpipe dual-tower design.

The Noctua NH-D12L is also compatible with a wide range of AMD and Intel sockets since it steers clear of the memory slots. All of these attributes become even better when combined with a six-year warranty, the SecuFirm 2 mounting system, and the NT-H1 thermal compound.
