NH-L12S
The difference was more than I’d expected with the peak load temperature difference being a massive 27°C in favour of the NH-L12S. This wasn’t a fair fight, I was testing a premium 120mm fan against a free much smaller unit with less surface area and no heat pipes but I didn’t expect the NH-L12S to be almost 30% cooler than the stock option.
The other thing to note was that the NH-L12S barely registered above 21dB(A) on the decibel meter at 50cm from the open chassis when running at 12V. Under typical use, the fan is virtually inaudible.
"The NH-L12S is a strong evolution from the NH-L12 and should be on the short list for anyone building a small form-factor system. " (Phil Carroll, PCTechReviews.com.au)
