I tested the Noctua NH-L12 against full tower CPU Coolers to see how well the Noctua NH-L12 stacked up against them. I believe the NH-L12 did exceptionally good in all tests. I have total belief that the Noctua NH-L12 will keep my CPU cool at any given moment. I was iffy about running Prime95 when the CPU was overclocked, because it might have resulted in too high of temperatures. In the end there was nothing to fear, the NH-L12 preformed amazingly well for a low profile cooler. There was only a slight increase in temperature when using the NH-L12 in a single fan mode with only the 92mm fan.

"The Noctua NH-L12 definitely surpassed our expectations. However from past experiences with Noctua products we knew that this product was going to perform really well in everything we threw at it. Noctua has been providing its consumers with top of line products, this is definitely among the best of the low profile coolers as far as we could tell. It's easy to install, comes with an abundance of accessories and it's made of the highest quality. With the addition of the two high grade 120mm and 92mm fans, this CPU cooler not only perfroms well but is also very quiet." (Tyler Russell, Pctreviews.com)
