Overview

A special edition Noctua reference cooler

The renowned Noctua NH-L12 has established itself as the best cooling solution for the award-winningGhost S1 case. Featuring a unique 92mm NF-B9 PWM fan, the brand new version called the "Ghost S1 Edition" has been specifically designed for the case and features the latest grinding technology.The new version, called "Ghost S1 Edition", has been specifically designed for this case and features the latest SecuFirm2 mounting system that is compatible with all major sockets on the market including Intel LGA1200, LGA115x and AMD AM4. With its 6-year warranty, the NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition is the ultimate solution for quiet configurations.

compatible with 48mm memory modules

The initial version of the NH-L12 has become the benchmark in the world of small footprint CPU fans over the years.Featuring a unique 92mm fan and supplied with NT-H2 thermal paste as well as the latest SecuFirm2 mounting system, the NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition has been designed to work brilliantly in high-end, low-noise configurations.

While the NH-L12's massive heatsink extends beyond the socket area and in most configurations covers the RAM slots, the space underneath the heatsink is considerable: the model is compatible with memory modules up to 48mm high.

PWM compatibility and low noise adapters

The 92mm NF-B9 fan supplied with the NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition is PWM-compatible for automatic speed control via the motherboard and thus offers real comfort: maximum performance when the CPU is under load and almost absolute silence when not! In addition, and for those who want even more silence, the maximum speed can be reduced from 1600 to 1300 rpm by using the supplied low noise adapter.

This cooler is compatible with Intel LGA115x (LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155, LGA1156), LGA1200, LGA20xx (LGA2066, LGA2011-0, LGA2011-3) and AMD (AM4, AM3(+), AM2(+),FM2(+) and FM1) processors The SecuFirm2 system included in the S1 is easy to install, ensures perfect contact pressure and will stand the test of time.

Thanks to Noctua's modular SecuFirm system, the NH-L12 can be made compatible with the older LGA1366 and LGA775 sockets by using the optional NM-I3 mounting kit, provided free of charge by Noctua. If technically feasible, Noctua will also provide adapter kits for future sockets to ensure that the NH-L12 remains a sound long-term investment.

For optimum cooling performance

For high-end configurations in compact cases, every degree of gain counts. For this reason, a tube of NT-H2 is supplied with the NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition. This latest generation of Noctua thermal paste, which offers even better performance than the well-known NT-H1, ensures optimum cooling performance.

Many fans have heat sinks that are press-fitted onto the heat pipes. Due to the differences in thermal expansion between copper and aluminium, this junction can become brittle over time and thermal cycling, resulting in a drop in performance. In contrast, the NH-L12's heat sink fins are soldered to the heat pipes to ensure constant heat conduction even over the long term.

    a little disappointed

    I bought Noctua for the quality and I must admit I was disappointed.
    The product itself works very well but the rigidity of the top plate is catastrophic, only the heatpipe tubes hold it together.
    The fan sucks the air through the fins.
