“Das beste Gesamtpaket aller Testkandidaten wird unserer Ansicht nach durch den Noctua NH-L12 verkörpert. Der erstklassig gefertigte Down-Blower überzeugt durch gute Kühlleistung in Verbindung mit einem bei Bedarf zurückhaltend leisen Betriebsgeräusch und ist dank 120-mm-Konzeption erheblich kompakter als die Kontrahenten von Phanteks oder Alpenföhn. Typische Kritikpunktkategorien wie die mangelnde Qualität der Serienlüfter, Komfortabstriche beim Montagesystem oder potentiell fehlende Ausstattungsmerkmale umschifft Noctua beim NH-L12 zielsicher, sodass wir in der Summe eine klare Kaufempfehlung für den knapp 50 Euro teuren Österreicher aussprechen können.”

“Right now the NH-L12 is selling for $71.99 at my favorite online retailer. At this price it is at the higher-end of air coolers, but in the end I do think that it is worth it if you are looking for a superior low profile CPU cooler that is very quiet in operation and can be mounted quite a few different ways.”

“It has two silent fans. It is convertible. It fits in almost any situation. There is very little reason not to buy the underrated NH-L12 from Noctua, it's just too handy of a cooler not to have on hand.”

“Put it all together, and we have what I feel is the finest low profile cooler to hit the market to date in the Noctua NH-L12. It is a stellar performer, beautifully built and engineered and simple to install. The NH-L12 stays dead quiet at all fan speeds, and even offers an LNA for those situations where even the minutest noise would be too much. Plus, it fits everywhere. In the world of HTPC/Low Profile cooling, the Noctua NH-L12 is king, and in my mind, it’s not even close.”

“Acoustic performance was excellent, and we really can’t rave about how good it was. The Noctua NH-L12 was probably the quietest CPU cooler we have ever tested. Add to that the fact it looks the business, is extremely high quality, offers highly competitive performance for its unique form factor and is well priced. Awarding the Noctua NH-L12 is a tough one. It could have our innovation award for being such a unique product in the HTPC/SFF market. It could snatch the Bang For Buck award for being one of the best performing and best value HTPC cooling solutions on the market we have ever seen. Yet the Noctua NH-L12 ticks so many boxes that we feel it is more than deserving of our highest award, the Editor’s Choice award.”
