The NH-L12 is a low-profile quiet cooler designed for use in small form factor cases & HTPC environments. With its flexible NF-F12 (120mm) / NF-B9 (92mm) dual PWM fan setup, the NH-L12 can be configured either for full performance in dual fan mode or extra-low profile (66mm) with the top fan removed. Bundled with the award-winning NT-H1 thermal compound & Noctua's Secu Firm 2 multi-socket mounting system, the NH-L12 packs everything a premium quality quiet cooler needs into a highly compact package. 120/92mm dual fan design Thanks to its exquisite dual fan setup consisting of Noctua's highly optimised NF-F12 (120mm) & NF-B9 (92mm) premium fans, the NH-L12 pushes the bar in terms of low-profile quiet cooling performance. Extra-low profile in 92mm single-fan mode The NH-L12 can be used with the NF-B9 92mm fan only in order to reduce the overall height to 66mm. This way, the cooler is suitable for many typical ATX or Mini-ITX enclosures & ideal for whisper-quiet HTPC systems. PWM support & Low-Noise Adaptors The NH-L12s NF-F12 & NF-B9 fans support PWM for convenient automatic speed control. In addition, the maximum fan speed can be reduced to 1200/1300rpm using the supplied Low-Noise Adaptors for even quieter operation. Secu Firm 2 mounting system Noctua's enthusiast grade Secu Firm 2 multi-socket mounting provides broad socket compatibility (LGA 2011, LGA1366, LGA1156, LGA1155, LGA775, AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1) & meets the highest demands in safety, performance & ease-of-use. Mini-ITX mounting without backplate Some Intel based Mini-ITX mainboards don't allow for the installation of backplates. The NH-L12 thus comes with an extra set of Intel mounting bolts which make it possible to install the cooler without using the Secu Firm 2 backplate. NT-H1 thermal compound Noctua's much-acclaimed NT-H1 is a well proven pro-grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease-of-use & outstanding reliability. Specifications
