Introduction
A big thank you to Noctua for supplying the review sample.
With a reputation forged by amazing performance, exceptional quality, and ultra-low noise levels, Noctua remains a premier manufacturer of PC-cooling products. Like the towering mount Everest, they continue to be one of the benchmarks all others are typically compared to. The can’t-miss color scheme of tan and brown may not be to everyone’s taste, but continues to be a hallmark of the brand. It is something most PC enthusiasts will recognize by just a quick glance, and that awareness paired with the knowledge that they offer some of the best warranty and after-sales support of any PC-cooling company means they remain a quintessential enthusiast favorite.
While it has been quite some time since a Noctua cooler has graced my test bench, I am always happy to see what they have in store. Today’s review will put the NH-D12L, Noctua’s latest design, to the test by seeing just what this low-height dual tower cooler can do. It has a maximum height of 145 mm, which should fit most 4U rackmount server cases along with a few Mini-ITX cases. To be fair, that is a bit of a niche market, but having a top-tier offering for those in need means it should still prove quite popular.
