Finally, we have our intense Cinebench test, which pushes the CPU to an extreme level, but for just 30 seconds, typical of the type of compression, decompression, and rendering that many PC owners use their system for. Here we see one clear winner, and surprise, surprise, it's the Noctua NH-L12S. It's both the coolest and quietest, which is a feat of pure magic.

"Based on our results, there is clearly only one best when it comes to low-profile coolers: the Noctua NH-L12S. It's cool, it's quiet, it's easy to install, and it's surprisingly affordable. Simply put, if your system has space for its 70mm height, and you are using low-profile RAM, it's the only cooler to consider." (Ari Altman, The Tech Buyer's Guru)
