5. Noctua NH-L9x65 chromax.black
The NH-L9x65 is a taller, more powerful version of Noctua's award-winning NH-L9 low-profile coolers. With a height of 65 mm instead of 37 mm and four heat pipes instead of two, the NH-L9x65 offers significantly more performance reserves than its shorter sibling models, while maintaining the same footprint of 95 x 95 mm. This ensures 100% RAM and PCIe compatibility on Intel-based ITX motherboards, and the cooler does not block any ports located near the socket. Thanks to the highly optimized NF-A9x14 premium fan with PWM support for automatic speed control, the NH-L9x65 remains surprisingly quiet during operation. The package is completed with the professional SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua's renowned NT-H1 thermal paste. Thus, the NH-L9x65 combines the familiar advantages of larger Noctua coolers in a compact, high-quality complete package for systems with limited space.
6. Noctua Nh-L12s
Thanks to the slim NF-A12x15 PWM 120mm fan, the NH-L12S achieves even better silent cooling performance than its predecessor with the 92mm fan. At the same time, the NH-L12S is highly flexible: when the fan is mounted above the cooling fins, the cooler supports RAM modules with a height of up to 45mm. When the fan is mounted below, the total height is only 70mm, allowing the cooler to fit into many HTPC and small form factor cases. The overall high-quality package of the NH-L12S is rounded off by the professional SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua's proven NT-H1 thermal paste - a premium solution for the highest demands in the low-profile segment.
7. Noctua NH-U12S redux CPU Cooler
The Noctua NH-U12S redux CPU cooler offers excellent cooling performance with its 120 mm fan and four copper heat pipes. Thanks to PWM control, the fan speed is dynamically adjusted according to the required performance, creating a balanced compromise between cooling efficiency and noise levels. The CPU cooler is compatible with almost all common processors from Intel and AMD. Installation is easy and quick.
8. Noctua NH-U9S chromax.black CPU cooler
The NH-U9S chromax.black is a completely black version of Noctua's whisper-quiet, award-winning premium cooler NH-U9S. The recipe for success remains unchanged thanks to the same compact tower cooler with NF-A9 PWM fan: strong cooling performance, excellent operational quietness, and outstanding compatibility with memory, cases, and PCIe. The chromax.black version, with its black fan and black-coated heatsink, additionally combines these advantages with a sleek stealth design.
9. Noctua NH-D15 G2
The NH-D15 G2 represents the second, further improved generation of the iconic Noctua NH-D15. Thanks to two state-of-the-art NF-A14x25r G2 PWM fans with speed offset, eight heat pipes, and asymmetrical cooling towers carefully optimized for use with the new fans, it achieves an even higher cooling performance compared to its highly awarded predecessor, while maintaining excellent operational quietness. Therefore, the G2 version is a true flagship model that pushes the boundaries in air cooling, continuing the tradition of the original NH-D15 and competing with the efficiency of many all-in-one water coolers.
10. Noctua NH-D12L
Powerful dual-tower CPU cooler for AM5 and LGA1700 sockets. Compatible with AM4, AM5, LGA 1150, LGA 1151, LGA 1155, LGA 1156, LGA 1200, LGA 1700, LGA 2011, LGA 2011 R3, and LGA 2066 processor sockets. Cooling type: Active (with fan). Dimensions (HxWxD): 158 mm x 125 mm x 112 mm. Maximum fan speed: 2000 rpm. Maximum airflow: 102.1 m³/h. Noise level during operation: 22.6 dBA.
The NH-D12L is a 120mm-class CPU cooler that offers a unique combination of excellent silent cooling performance and outstanding case compatibility due to its particularly low height. With a height of only 145 mm (13 mm shorter than the classic 120 mm Noctua models), it fits into numerous 4U systems as well as narrower tower cases that were previously limited to solutions with 92 mm fans.
Thanks to its dual-tower design with five heat pipes and the groundbreaking 120 mm fan NF-A12 x 25r, it achieves a performance level that surpasses many full-height 120 mm models. The single-fan configuration and asymmetric design ensure that the NH-D12L does not extend over the memory slots on AMD AM4/AM5 and Intel LGA1700/1200, providing 100% RAM compatibility.
The high-quality overall package is rounded off by the proven SecuFirm2 mounting system, Noctua's renowned NT-H1 thermal paste, and a 6-year manufacturer warranty. All in all, the NH-D12L is the perfect choice when top-notch cooling performance is required but there is not enough space for the larger NH-U12A.
