Description

Noctua’s classic NH-L12 has proven to be the best air cooling solution for Louqe’s award-winning Ghost S1 enclosure. With its single NF-B9 PWM 92mm fan, the new Ghost S1 edition is tailored for use in this case and has been updated with the latest SecuFirm2 mounting hardware for all current mainstream sockets, including Intel LGA1200, LGA115x and AMD AM4. Topped off with Noctua’s further improved, second generation NT-H2 thermal compound, the NH-L12 Ghost S1 edition is the ideal choice for premium-grade quiet builds in the Louqe Ghost S1 chassis. With more than 200 awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines, the original NH-L12 was one of the most successful low-profile CPU coolers ever built. With its top 120mm fan removed, it also proved to be an ideal choice for low-noise setups in the Ghost S1 chassis. Coming with a single 92mm fan, Noctua’s second generation NT-H2 thermal compound as well as the latest SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system, the NH-L12 Ghost S1 edition has been customised to be an ideal companion for quiet high-end builds in Louqe’s award-winning Ghost S1 enclosure. While the large NH-L12 heatsink extends beyond the socket zone and will overhang the RAM slots in most configurations, there is plenty of space underneath, so it is compatible with RAM modules of up to 48mm height. For high-end builds in compact cases, every degree counts. This is why the NH-L12 Ghost S1 edition includes a tube of Noctua’s next-generation NT-H2 compound that provides even better performance than the award-winning NT-H1, allowing you to achieve the best possible cooling results. Copper (base and heat-pipes), aluminium (cooling fins), soldered joints & nickel plating 92x92x25mm The NH-L12 Ghost S1 edition is a highly compact, quiet low-profile cooler designed for use in small form factor cases and HTPC environments. While it provides first-rate performance in its class, it is not suitable for overclocking and or CPUs that create high heat loads. Noctua's premium cooling components are internationally renowned for their superb quietness, exceptional performance and quality.

    • Fits small cases great
Fits small cases great. I used it in my meshlicious, but its very tight with the ram sticks. You need to have really short sticks, or it'll push against the first one. I ultimately had to swap it out for an AIO because it couldn't cool my cpu enough, but I don't think that's fault of the CPU cooler itself! Will definitely use it in another build. ... show more

    • Great for ITX build using i5-12000k
Review Image by JB JB
Review Image by JB JB
CASE, MOBO, CPU, RAM, GPU: Black Lian Li Q58, ASRock Z690M-ITX/ax, i5-12000k, Corsair LPX RAM (16GBx2)- low profile RAM, MSI 3060 TI PC USAGE: I do some light gaming, and run multiple VM's but not at the same time. Occasionally some beginner level video editing. REVIEW: If you want to air cool this case with this CPU/GPU combo or similar team RED, this is the best cooling option for you IMO. The build quality is excellent, the fan is dead quiet. I am using low profile RAM, so your mileage may vary. The case clearance is 67mm and this has a height of 66mm, and while tight, I can assure you it does not touch the case and I have no issues with turbulence. I believe there is about 1.5mm-2mm of gap between the rad and the case. The fan sits a bit lower than the top of the radiator and vents 100% to the mesh panel of the case, so pretty much ideal. The radiator is perhaps 15% obstructed when the case is closed. Mounting: attach base plate prior to installing MOBO in case (the threads on the plate are mounted up) There is provided Noctua thermal paste with at least two applications. The radiator screws down into the base plate (using a provided screwdriver) through two holes in the radiator.- Mine came with AMD4 mounting hardware as well as LGA 1700. This will likely be the last step to complete the build. Make sure you plug into all the correct headers prior to mounting because the cooler/radiator will cover some of the headers and RAM. You will not be able to see the cooler fan in the case, as it is behind the rad. PS- the green glow is a MOBO light I never notice it while working and it does not bother me at night, I think the radiator diminishes/ shadows it. ... show more

    • Really amazing cooling, make sure to confirm dimensions
Just swapped cases to the Mini ITX Iqunix case. I trandplanted from the DAn Case A4 SFX and the but of extra room allowed me to get a bit bigger cooler. Everything fit great other than my taller than normal RAM, being the corsair domination set. Even without the top “brackets” on the RAM, they don't fit perfectly and do push one side of the cooler up just a mm or two. I ended up removing one of the fan mounting brackets and securing it with a custom mount on the RAM side. Still, the cooling performance is fantastic and the fit is great otherwise. Pick your RAM folks ... show more

    • Compatible with mini-ITX (with an adjustment)
Review Image by Luke Luke
This CPU cooler is great. It fits perfectly in a mini-ITX build, HOWEVER I strongly recommend that you flip the fan (sticker-side up) so that the air blows upward and away from the CPU. Otherwise, the hot air may remain trapped around your CPU if you have a mini-ITX motherboard. This adjustment decreased my idle CPU temp from 70°C to 50°C. ... show more

    • Came bent! I expected a little more.

Review Image by Alex Alex
Everything was fine except for when mounting it. The alignment of the cooler staring top down was a little off. It was enought to push my ram which made the clearance. For some reason it came bent and I don't really feel comfortable bending it back because I don't want to be held responsible for breaking it. I really like the heatsink tho. It's unfortunate that I got this experience but I will try to ask for a replacement. The fan also was pushing on my ram a bit as well too. Really well built and I think it's good value but without the small imperfections. I will update. ... show more
