Award-winning NH-L12 heatsink
With more than 200 awards and recommendations from international hardware
websites and magazines, the original NH-L12 was one of the most successful
low-profile CPU coolers ever built. With its top 120mm fan removed, it also
proved to be an ideal choice for low-noise setups in the Ghost S1 chassis.
Special edition for the Ghost S1 case
Coming with a single 92mm fan, Noctuas second generation NT-H2 thermal
compound as well as the latest SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system, the
NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition has been customised to be an ideal companion for quiet
high-end builds in Louqes award-winning Ghost S1 enclosure.
48mm RAM clearance
While the large NH-L12 heatsink extends beyond the socket zone and will
overhang the RAM slots in most configurations, there is plenty of space
underneath, so it is compatible with RAM modules of up to 48mm height.
PWM support and Low-Noise Adaptors
The NF-B9 92mm fan supplied with the NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition supports PWM for
convenient automatic speed control through the motherboard: Full performance
under load, virtually silent at idle! In addition, maximum fan speed can be
reduced from 1600 to 1300rpm using the supplied Low-Noise Adaptor for even
quieter operation.
SecuFirm multi-socket mounting system
Noctuas SecuFirm2 mounting systems have become synonymous with quality,
safety and easy installation. Supporting Intel LGA115x (LGA1150, LGA1151,
LGA1155, LGA1156), LGA1200 and LGA20xx (LGA2066, LGA2011-0, LGA2011-3), as well
as AMD AM4, AM3(+), AM2(+), FM2(+) and FM1, the SecuFirm2 mounting included with
the NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition is straightforward to install, provides perfect
contact pressure and will stand the test of time even under heavy use.
Compatibility with past and future sockets
Thanks to Noctuas SecuFirm ecosystem, the NH-L12 can be made compatible with
the older LGA1366 and LGA775 sockets using the optional NM-I3 mounting kit,
which is provided free of charge. If technically possible, Noctua will also
provide upgrade kits for future sockets, which makes the NH-L12 a safe long-term
investment.
NT-H2 next-gen thermal compound
For high-end builds in compact cases, every degree counts. This is why the
NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition includes a tube of Noctuas next-generation NT-H2
compound that provides even better performance than the award-winning NT-H1,
allowing you to achieve the best possible cooling results.
Soldered interface between heatpipes and fins
With many heatsinks, the fins are press-fitted to the heatpipes. Due to the
different thermal expansion coefficients of copper and aluminium, this fit can
loosen over years of thermal cycling, which may lead to reduced performance. By
contrast, the NH-L12s fins are soldered to the heatpipes in order to guarantee a
superior thermal interface that doesnt deteriorate even after many years of
usage.
6-year manufacturers warranty
Noctua products are renowned for their impeccable quality and outstanding
longevity. True to this legacy, the NH-L12 heatsink is built to last, and like
all Noctua fans, the supplied NF-B9 unit features an MTTF rating of more than
150,000 hours. The entire package comes with a full 6-year manufacturers
warranty.
