Noctua, a company that has been around since 2005 and is well-known for its CPU coolers, announced the NH-D12L. This cooler boasts an all new NF-A12x25r PWM fan with low noise levels of 25 dBA at 800 RPM. The Noctua NH-D12L will be available on September 19th for $149.99 USD/€139.90 EUR and can be purchased from any Micro Center location in North America or Europe..
Noctua announced the NH-D12L: Low-Height Dual-Tower CPU Cooler with New NF-A12x25r PWM Fan. This cooler is compatible with LGA 2011, 1366, and 1155/1156 sockets.

The NH-D12L is a new cooling solution from Noctua for enthusiasts looking for a dual-tower CPU cooler that fits in thinner tower cases and 4U enclosures. The NH-D12L is just 145 mm tall, which is around half an inch shorter than Noctua’s 120-mm-class coolers, which are 158 mm tall. A new NF-A12x25r 120 mm PWM fan and two towers with five heat pipes each help with cooling. The round-frame NH-D12L ($89.95) and NF-A12x25r ($29.95) are now available for purchase on Amazon and other stores.
“Until now, all of our 120mm class coolers were 158mm tall, but since more and more PC cases accommodate just 150 or even 145mm, the NH-D12L fills the gap,” said Roland Mossig, Noctua’s CEO. “Simply reducing one of our current models wasn’t an option since a regular square 120mm fan would create a slew of complications with motherboard heatsinks and shrouds.” That’s why we created this unique twin tower design, as well as a round-frame version of the NF-A12x25 fan that can be mounted in a very low position between the two towers – a winning combination that delivers outstanding performance in this height class.”

The NH-D12L low-height dual tower CPU cooler and the NF-A12x25r round-frame 120mm fan were unveiled today by Noctua. It fits numerous 4U enclosures as well as thinner tower cases that were previously confined to solutions with 92mm fans, with a height of just 145mm (13mm lower than Noctua’s usual 120mm versions). At the same time, its five heatpipe dual-tower design and cutting-edge NF-A12x25r 120mm fan enable it to outperform many full-height 120mm versions in terms of efficiency.
The NH-D12L is just 145mm tall, whereas Noctua’s typical 120mm CPU coolers are 158mm tall. This enables it to accommodate a broad variety of 4U rackmount server cases and many tower-style enclosures that aren’t wide enough for 158mm units, as well as several bigger SFF and Mini-ITX chassis. The NH-D12L outperforms 92mm coolers despite its shorter height. It may even outperform well-known 120mm units like the NH-U12S, and it often matches Noctua’s award-winning 120mm flagship model, the NH-U12A.
The NH-D12L does not overhang the RAM slots on Intel LGA1700/LGA1200/LGA115x and AMD AM4/AM5 based motherboards due to its asymmetric design, ensuring simple access to the modules and 100 percent compatibility with DIMMs with tall heat-spreaders or RGB lighting.
The Noctua NF-A12x25, which was released in 2018, is largely regarded as the finest 120x25mm fan on the market. The NH-round-frame D12L’s model delivers the same acclaimed silent cooling performance while lowering total cooler height without jeopardizing compatibility with tall motherboard heatsinks or shrouds. The NH-D12L also comes with an additional set of fan clips, which may be used to mount a second of these NF-A12x25r PWM fans on the front or back fin stack. It should be noted, however, that the second fan will normally sit on top of either the RAM or the I/O panel, bringing the overall height beyond 145mm.
The NH-D12L is the ideal choice for applications that require serious cooling performance but cannot fit the larger NH-U12A. It comes with Noctua’s award-winning NT-H1 thermal compound, a 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, and the renowned SecuFirm2TM multi-socket mounting system that already supports Intel’s latest LGA1700 socket as well as AMD’s upcoming AM5 platform.
