The NH-L12 features a flexible NF-F12 (120mm) \/ NF-B9 (92mm) dual PWM fan setup that can be configured either for full performance in dual fan mode or extra-low profile (66mm) with the top fan removed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Noctua-LP.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-28670\" title=\"Noctua-LP\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Noctua-LP.jpg?resize=360%2C300\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Noctua-LP.jpg 600w, https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Noctua-LP-300x250.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The industry trend towards Small Form Factor and Home Theatre PCs is well-established, but there&#8217;s still a lack of suitable high-quality quiet CPU coolers&#8221;, explains Mag. Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO. &#8220;Building a powerful PC always requires a capable CPU, which in return demands a competent cooling solution. But who wants his HTPC to sound like a jet engine? This is precisely where the NH-L12 steps in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to its exquisite dual fan setup consisting of Noctua&#8217;s highly optimised NF-F12 (120mm) and NF-B9 (92mm) premium fans, the NH-L12 pushes the bar in terms of low-profile quiet cooling performance. Alternatively, the NH-L12 can also 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 \u00b5ATX or Mini-ITX enclosures and ideal for whisper-quiet HTPC systems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Noctua-LP-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-28671\" title=\"Noctua-LP-1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Noctua-LP-1.jpg?resize=300%2C204\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Noctua-LP-1-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Noctua-LP-1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The NH-L12&#8217;s NF-F12 and 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. Bundled with the award-winning NT-H1 thermal compound and Noctua&#8217;s SecuFirm2\u2122 multi-socket mounting system, the NH-L12 packs everything a premium quality quiet cooler needs into a highly compact package.<\/p>\n<p>Price and Availability<br \/>\nThe NH-L12 will be available immediately at a recommended retail price of EUR 49.90 \/ USD 59.90.<\/p>\n<p>About Noctua<br \/>\nDesigned in Austria, Noctua&#8217;s premium cooling components are internationally renowned for their superb quietness, exceptional performance and thoroughgoing quality.
