NH-L12S
Right from the start, we knew that Noctua's NH-L12S wasn't going to challenge the big tower coolers. But given that this was Noctua's first new cooler in over two years, and its only cooler to include both Intel and AM4 brackets in the box, it deserved a look. And based on our benchmarks, it's the new reference cooler for low-profile systems. Offering Noctua's trademark ease-of-use and top-notch accessory package, a fantastic custom-designed slimline fan that allowed it to run in absolute silence at idle (literally, no noise), and very reasonable performance given its 70mm height, it's the only low-profile cooler we'll be recommending for systems with sufficient clearance. It's simply superior to everything else on the market, and while you can save $5-10 going with competitor's offerings, you're going to lose in the end.
