Noctua NH D12L chromax black Air CPU Cooler:
The Noctua NH D12L chromax black Air CPU Cooler offers outstanding cooling performance in a low-height package, making it ideal for compact high-performance builds. It features a dual-tower heatsink design and comes equipped with an NF-A12x25r PWM chromax.black premium fan, ensuring quiet yet powerful operation. With broad socket compatibility for both Intel and AMD platforms, this cooler provides a versatile and aesthetically pleasing solution for demanding CPUs. Furthermore, its all-black finish seamlessly integrates into any system.
Low-Height Design & Superior Cooling:
The Noctua NH-D12L chromax.black is specifically designed for systems where space is a premium. With a height of just 145 mm (with fan), it fits into many 4U rackmount or more compact tower cases that larger 120mm or 140mm coolers might not. This low-height design makes it an excellent choice for builds with restrictive clearance.
Despite its compact size, the NH-D12L delivers superior cooling performance. Its dual-tower heatsink design, combined with multiple heat pipes, efficiently dissipates heat from your CPU. The heatsink material consists of copper (base and heat-pipes) and aluminium (cooling fins), with soldered joints and nickel plating for optimal thermal transfer and durability. This robust construction ensures effective heat management even for demanding processors.
Quiet Operation with NF-A12x25r Fan:
The Noctua NH-D12L chromax.black comes equipped with an NF-A12x25r PWM chromax.black premium fan. This fan is renowned for its exceptional balance of high airflow and low noise. It operates at a maximum rotational speed of 2000 RPM, delivering an impressive airflow of 102.1 m³/h. With the included NA-RC14 Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A), the fan speed can be reduced to 1700 RPM, lowering the acoustical noise to just 18.8 dB(A) for ultra-quiet operation.
The fan utilizes an SSO2 bearing, which ensures long-term stability and quiet operation. Its minimum rotational speed is 450 RPM at 20% PWM, allowing for near-silent performance during light workloads. This focus on low noise levels, even under load, makes the NH-D12L an excellent choice for users who prioritize a quiet computing environment.
Broad Socket Compatibility & Easy Installation:
The Noctua NH-D12L chromax.black offers broad CPU socket compatibility. It supports a wide range of Intel sockets, including LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA1156, LGA1155, LGA1151, and LGA1150. For AMD platforms, it is compatible with AM5 and AM4 sockets. This extensive compatibility ensures it fits a wide array of modern and older systems.
The cooler includes a black SecuFirm2™ mounting kit, renowned for its ease of use and robust contact pressure. This simplified installation process ensures a secure fit and optimal thermal transfer. The scope of delivery also includes NT-H1 high-grade thermal compound, providing excellent thermal conductivity right out of the box. The all-black finish of the heatsink and fan adds a sleek, stealthy look to your build.
