At just 145mm tall, it fits 4U servers, SFF, and Mini-ITX builds while delivering superior airflow (102.1 m³/h) and whisper-quiet operation (22.6 dB) via its advanced NF-A12x25r PWM fan. Its asymmetrical dual-tower design ensures 100% RAM compatibility on modern AMD and Intel sockets, making it the go-to cooler for professionals demanding power, silence, and perfect fit. ## Description From the manufacturer The NH-D12L is a low-height 120mm class CPU cooler that has been conceived to combine outstanding quiet cooling performance with superior case compatibility. At a height of only 145mm (13mm lower than Noctua’s regular 120mm models), it fits many 4U enclosures as well as narrower tower cases that have been previously limited to solutions with 92mm fans. At the same time, its five heatpipe dual-tower design and state-of-the-art NF-A12x25r 120mm fan allow it to achieve a level of efficiency that surpasses many full-height 120mm models. Thanks to its single fan configuration and asymmetrical fin stacks, the NH-D12L provides 100% RAM compatibility on AMD AM4/AM5 and LGA1700/1200 by staying clear of the memory slots. Topped off with the renowned SecuFirm2 mounting system and Noctua’s award-winning NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-D12L is the perfect choice for applications that require serious cooling performance but cannot fit the larger NH-U12A. 145mm height for broader case compatibility While Noctua’s regular 120mm CPU coolers stand 158mm tall, the NH-D12L measures only 145mm. This allows it to fit not only a wide range of 4U rackmount server cases and many tower-style enclosures that are not wide enough for 158mm units, but also some larger Small Form Factor (SFF) and Mini-ITX chassis. 100% RAM compatibility on LGA1700/1200 and AM4/AM5 Due to its asymmetric design, the NH-D12L does not overhang the RAM slots on Intel LGA1700 (LGA17xx family)/LGA1200/LGA115x and AMD AM4/AM5 based motherboards, which ensures easy access to the modules and 100% compatibility with DIMMs that feature tall heat-spreaders or RGB lighting. On LGA2066, the rear fin stack will overhang the RAM slots on the left-hand side of the socket, so RAM modules must not exceed 45mm height. Round-frame NF-A12x25r PWM fan Introduced in 2018, Noctua’s NF-A12x25 is widely considered to be the best 120mm fan on the market. The round-frame variant used on the NH-D12L provides the same renowned quiet cooling performance yet makes it possible to reduce overall cooler height without risking compatibility issues with tall motherboard heatsinks or shrouds. Dual-fan options The NH-D12L ships with a second pair of fan clips that can be used to install a second NF-A12x25r PWM fan either on the front or on the rear fin stack. However, it must be noted that the second fan will usually sit on top of either the RAM or I/O panel and thereby increase the total height beyond 145mm. Measurements Height (without fan): 145mm Width (without fan): 125mm Depth (without fan): 113mm Height (with fan): 145mm Width (with fan): 125mm Depth (with fan): 113mm Weight (without fan): 700g Weight (with fan): 890g Materials Copper (base and heat-pipes), aluminium (cooling fins), soldered joints & nickel plating Cooler Specifications Scope of delivery NF-A12x25r PWM premium fan NA-RC14 Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A) NT-H1 high-grade thermal compound Fan-clips for second NF-A12x25r SecuFirm2 mounting kit Noctua Metal Case-Badge Fan Compatibility NF-A12x25r PWM (square-frame 120mm fans not supported) More performance at lower height Despite its reduced height, the NH-D12L easily outperforms 92mm coolers. It can even surpass renowned 120mm units such as the NH-U12S and often comes close to Noctua’s award-winning 120mm flagship model NH-U12A. Review: Simply brilliant. - I bought this cooler as it is the only one that satisfies two conditions I had: 1) sufficient clearance over the absurdly high VRM and NVME heatsinks of the ASUS ROG Z790-i gaming wifi ITX motherboard 2) fit inside the NR200p SFF case with the tempered glass side panel fitted This cooler met both those criteria while being powerful enough to cool the Intel 13700K (under heavy gaming load) within the tight confines of a ITX case. Love it. Review: Excelente - Es la refrigeración que merece tu pc, enfría que da miedo, la competencia se queda muy corta, realmente uno no entiende como puede enfriar tan bien, vale cada centavo. ## Features - The NH-D12L cooler with low height (145 mm) combines first-class cooling performance with excellent compatibility and fits in most 4U server housings - Asymmetrical single fan configuration guaranteed 100% RAM compatibility on AMD AM4/AM5 and Intel LGA1700/1200/115x socket - Directional NF-A12x25r 120 mm fan with 4-pin PWM and low-noise adapter for automatic speed control and whisper operation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09TB5KJ5V | | Air Flow Capacity | 102.1 Cubic Meters Per Hour | | Best Sellers Rank | #60,970 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #342 in CPU Fans | | Brand | Noctua | | Brand Name | Noctua | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Server | | Cooling Method | Water | | Cooling method | Water | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 649 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 6 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 09010018000337 | | Included Components | Camera body | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 14.5L x 12.5W x 11.3H centimeters | | Item Weight | 890 Grams | | Manufacturer | noctua | | Material Type | Copper (base and heat pipes), aluminium (cooling fins), soldered joints and nickel plating | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 2000 RPM | | Model | NH-D12L | | Noise Level | 22.6 Decibels | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | NH-D12L | | Power Connector Type | 4-Pin | | Power connector type | 4-Pin | | Product dimensions | 14.5L x 12.5W x 11.3H centimeters | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Wattage | 1.68 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Noctua - **Power connector type:** 4-Pin - **Product dimensions:** 14.5L x 12.5W x 11.3H centimeters - **Voltage:** 12 Volts - **Wattage:** 1.68 watts ## Images ![Noctua NH-D12L Low CPU Cooler (120mm, Brown) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811cM-iN9KL.jpg) ![Noctua NH-D12L Low CPU Cooler (120mm, Brown) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GaJyLJy6L.jpg) ![Noctua NH-D12L Low CPU Cooler (120mm, Brown) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QvRfikQ4L.jpg) ![Noctua NH-D12L Low CPU Cooler (120mm, Brown) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nM3QWPFmL.jpg) ![Noctua NH-D12L Low CPU Cooler (120mm, Brown) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815OeBUYDJL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are there any chromax covers for this cooler?** A: Greetings from Noctua, unfortunately, we currently don't offer any Chromax heatsink covers for the NH-D12L. Kind regards **Q: Would the 120mm fan clips noctua sells make it possible to run a "normal" square 120mm fan?** A: The clips that came with my fan just used the standard mounting holes in the fan so I would think it would work. **Q: Where do i get a third pair of fan clips to mount a third nf-a12x25r pwm fan?** A: I believe it comes with 2 extra fan clips... **Q: Hi can i ues this on my asus sabertooth z77 lga 1155 intel z77** A: It should as long as it has the Intel 390 bracket. I had the NH-D15L with my 390 but both will work with the Intel bracket. Both coolers have the identical bracket. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply brilliant. *by S***T on 12 September 2024* I bought this cooler as it is the only one that satisfies two conditions I had: 1) sufficient clearance over the absurdly high VRM and NVME heatsinks of the ASUS ROG Z790-i gaming wifi ITX motherboard 2) fit inside the NR200p SFF case with the tempered glass side panel fitted This cooler met both those criteria while being powerful enough to cool the Intel 13700K (under heavy gaming load) within the tight confines of a ITX case.
