2. Noctua NH-D15 G2 LBC
The NH-D15 G2 is the further improved second generation of Noctua's iconic NH-D15. With its state-of-the-art, speed-controlled NF-A14x25r G2 PWM fans, eight heat pipes, and asymmetrical fin stacks carefully tuned to work with the new fans, it achieves even better and quieter cooling performance than its award-winning predecessor.
The special Low Base Convexity (LBC) version is optimized for relatively flat CPUs and offers excellent contact quality on AMD's AM5 processors, even when the included offset mounting option is not used. In addition to its further improved performance, the NH-D15 G2 also features enhanced compatibility thanks to an offset design that allows it to free up the top PCIe x16 slot on most current motherboards. Last but not least, the G2 version has been upgraded to the Torx-based SecuFirm2+ multi-socket mounting system, complete with the included NM-SD1 screwdriver, as well as Noctua's superior NT-H2 thermal paste.

4. Noctua NH-L12Sx77
The NH-L12Sx77 is a slightly taller variant of the award-winning NH-L12S, offering improved cooling performance as well as enhanced motherboard and RAM compatibility. With six heat pipes instead of four, it provides additional thermal headroom while maintaining the same standard fan arrangement, where the fan blows upwards from below the fin stack. This not only ensures optimal acoustics in situations with perforated case walls directly above the cooler but also helps to expel hot air from the case. The increased height significantly improves clearance for tall motherboard heatsinks or RAM modules. With a height of 77 mm, the NH-L12Sx77 is still compact enough to fit into common Small Form Factor (SFF/SFX) cases.
5. 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.
6. Noctua NH-L9i-17xx
The NH-L9i is an extremely compact, quiet, low-profile cooler designed for use in small form factor cases and HTPC environments. Although it offers first-class performance in its class, it is not suitable for overclocking and CPUs with high heat loads.
7. 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.
