NH-L12
When equipped with just the stock 120 mm fan it was more formidable, leaping to the head of the pack and competing directly with tower coolers like the Scythe Ninja Mini and Xigmatek HDT-SD964. Armed with our 120 mm Nexus reference fan or both of its stock fans, the NH-L12 outpaces the entire field, particularly at ultra low noise levels.
"For its size, the Noctua NH-L12 is the best CPU heatsink we've tested. Essentially a smaller version of the NH-C14, the design seems to scale favorably, working particularly well with both fans running, surpassing taller tower coolers with 92 mm fans like the Scythe Ninja Mini and Xigmatek HDT-SD964 by a healthy margin. [...] Like other Noctua heatsinks, the NH-L12 is a premium product. Its construction is top-notch, the mounting system is superb and versatile, and there are many useful included accessories."
