Noctua NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition, Premium Low Profile CPU Cooler, 6.6cm, Quiet 92mm PWM Fan (Brown), Desktop Compatible

Its the best low profile cpu cooler noise is minimum and cooling is at par with big coolers

This is my second quiet fan. One is already three years old and it still run flawlessly . Money well spent.

Fajne chłodzenie choć u mnie na płycie Asus Rog Strix b760-i gaming wifi pasowało tylko w jednej pozycji. Obudowa Fractal Design Mood niekompatybilna z tym chłodzeniem i tą płytą. Ogólnie fajne ale do tej obudowy nie polecam.

Ein Unfassbar guter Kühler! Ich war erschrocken gewesen als ich die Temperaturen ablas beim Cinebench Benchmark. Ich hatte mit einem R7 1700 bei 3,7 Ghz OC nur 80 Grad gehabt bei einem Benchmark von 1. Stunde. Zuvor war eine Wasserkühlung verbaut gewesen die wesentlich lauter war und nur Minimal besser war. Ich hatte mir der Wasserkühlung ebenfalls mit dem selben OC 74 Grad gehabt. Lieferumfang war erstaunlich gut und alles sehr detailliert beschrieben. Zusätzlich erhält man eine große Tube Wärmeleitpaste von Noctua. Der Einbau war wirklich kinderleicht ohne Mainboard ausbauen etc. Alles hat auf Anhieb gepasst. Es kann sein, dass der Kühler leicht auf der Seitenwand des Ghost's aufliegt, aber mit leichten Drücken gegen den Kühler bleibt er an Ort und stelle ohne die Seitenwand zu berühren. Selbst bei 100% Auslastung der Lüfter beim NH-L12 bleibt er wirklich kaum hörbar. Kann ich nur jedem empfehlen!

I use this in my fractal ridge itx gaming pc and it does a great job of keeping my cpu cool. The fan is not too loud either. I do recommend setting a temperature limit though if your case doesn’t have any intake fans like mine. I did have a few issues with installation. The power cable connector on the fractal ridge can get in the way depending on which way up you want the cooler fitted. The second issue was the manual seems to give the wrong instructions regarding AM5. Look at my photos and you can see the AM5 set up results in some of the CPU not being cooled. I had to use the AM4 set up on my AM5 itx motherboard. Once set up properly it does its job well so no complaints. If you’re buying this make sure to research its use in your case and double check your cpu is fully covered.

CASE, MOBO, CPU, RAM, GPU: Black Lian Li Q58, ASRock Z690M-ITX/ax, i5-12000k, Corsair LPX RAM (16GBx2)- low profile RAM, MSI 3060 TI PC USAGE: I do some light gaming, and run multiple VM's but not at the same time. Occasionally some beginner level video editing. REVIEW: If you want to air cool this case with this CPU/GPU combo or similar team RED, this is the best cooling option for you IMO. The build quality is excellent, the fan is dead quiet. I am using low profile RAM, so your mileage may vary. The case clearance is 67mm and this has a height of 66mm, and while tight, I can assure you it does not touch the case and I have no issues with turbulence. I believe there is about 1.5mm-2mm of gap between the rad and the case. The fan sits a bit lower than the top of the radiator and vents 100% to the mesh panel of the case, so pretty much ideal. The radiator is perhaps 15% obstructed when the case is closed. Mounting: attach base plate prior to installing MOBO in case (the threads on the plate are mounted up) There is provided Noctua thermal paste with at least two applications. The radiator screws down into the base plate (using a provided screwdriver) through two holes in the radiator.- Mine came with AMD4 mounting hardware as well as LGA 1700. This will likely be the last step to complete the build. Make sure you plug into all the correct headers prior to mounting because the cooler/radiator will cover some of the headers and RAM. You will not be able to see the cooler fan in the case, as it is behind the rad. PS- the green glow is a MOBO light I never notice it while working and it does not bother me at night, I think the radiator diminishes/ shadows it.
