You see, Noctua had effectively discontinued the NH-L12, since supplanting it with the newer NH-L12S. In doing so, it changed the heatsink design to support a single slimline 120mm fan only, which added 4mm to the overall height. For most users, that’s not a big deal, but for Ghost S1 users, it was enough to fuel demand for the original shorter cooler. The cooler’s heatsink measures 66 x 128 x 150mm (H x W x D). Its weight, combined with that of the fan, gives you 500g in total. Inside, you’ll find the NFB9 PWM premium fan, NA-RC7 Low Noise Adaptor, and NT-H2 thermal compound. Aside from these, you’ll find the SecuFirm2 mounting kit and a metallic case badge. The marks are left from the production process, yet they’re incredibly smooth that the thermal compound’s evenness shouldn’t be affected.

Tophat L có thể gắn được aio 240 hoặc custom tuy nhiên cần cân nhắc vì sẽ khiến thể tích case to lên đáng kể.Additionally, the NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition has an excellent build quality that is on par with Noctua’s NH-D15. Its cooling fins are straight and solid with a uniform surface and smooth edges. With that, we can claim that it’s safe to use and is long-lasting, like what the company claims. This is my first time posting on Reddit so please bear with me. I currently have a 3 yr old Ghost build consisting of We’ve tested pretty much every low-profile cooler on the market in the Ghost S1 and even tried to create a complete custom solution in collaboration with Noctua, but nothing worked as well as our long-term favourite, the NH-L12,” explains Patrik Michalski (Louqe CEO). “That’s why we’ve ended up creating a customised special edition of this cooler that will be the ideal choice for all Ghost S1 users who are looking for the best possible air cooling solution.” As we mentioned earlier, this is a low-profile cooler so don’t expect it to give you high-levels of performance. Also, you shouldn’t compare it to the larger AIO liquid or air design coolers.

The cooler’s name is a reference to the Ghost S1 enclosure that’s manufactured by Louqe. It’s a company that Noctua partnered with to produce this specific cooler. This is to prevent vibrations from reaching the heatsink’s structure. Additionally, but the presence of a rubber base prevents unnecessary movements of the fan, and scratches on the fins.

Small but handy

Improved features: MkIII cases come with a new ultra smooth surface treatment, redesigned blade and grill, and with our next-generation COBALT Gen4+ PCI-e 4.0 16x twin axial 260mm vertical mount riser cable. Before we can use and test the Noctua NH-L12 Ghost S1 CPU Cooler, we first have to install it. Initially, we thought at first glance that the Noctua NH-L12 would be easy to install. And we were right.

Noctua NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition, Premium Low Profile CPU

As you can see from the table and from the photos below, the NH-C14S is not such a low cooler. It can be described as low-profile only with one eye shut. However, if its fan is placed under the heatsink, its total height is 115 millimeters. It is therefore still significantly lower than most conventional tower coolers. Nevertheless, its overall dimensions are not negligible and should be taken into account when choosing a suitable combination of cooler and case. This is hands down the best SFX power supply for SFF builds and is extremely popular amongst mini-ITX builders (our full list of recommended SFX PSUs can be found here), and with good reason. Ask any Ghost S1 builder and you will likely get the same response and praise for the Corsair SF series SFX format power supply.Current PC hardware is already very energy efficient. Each new generation usually promises higher performance, lower power draw with corresponding cooling requirements. This trend is leading to the growing popularity of compact PC builds. However, these rigs face little space for coolers. How big trade-offs need to be made with CPU cooling in these builds? Does a small cooler necessarily mean high temperatures and noise? Small but handy This time, you’ll learn about the key features of the cooler in our Noctua NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition review. Key Features of the Noctua NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition Noctua’s Popular NH-L12 Heatsink Now it’s time to get our hands into the NH-L12 in this section of our Noctua NH-L12 Ghost S1 CPU Cooler review. We’ll find out ourselves how the cooler performs when put to the test.

Thanks to the included screwdriver and the holes present in the heat sink. We encountered no problems mounting the Noctua NH-L12 Ghost S1 CPU Cooler with any PC setup. It’s due to its mounting kit and compatibility. The heatsink can become more silent by removing the 120mm fan. Doing so makes the cooler ideal for low-noise setups.

With a lot of PC builders posting benchmarks and thermal stats of their Ghost S1 builds – we are beginning to see exactly which components perform best in this SFF enclosure – such as the best performing CPU cooler, case fans and power supplies being the most important to get right – if you want to get the absolute most performance out of your Ghost S1 build. The fan’s input power is 0.96W, and its voltage range is 12V. For its MTTF, it reaches more than 150.000 h. Hands on with the Noctua NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition
