Hardware Secrets have reviewed the Noctua NH-L12 CPU Cooler, which is a horizontal, four heatpipe CPU cooling solution for both Intel and AMD systems.

Let's see what they had to say:

"…If we simply analyze the temperature performance offered by the Noctua NH-L12, it can be considered a mainstream performance CPU cooler with a price tag that approaches most high-end competitors. The NH-L12, however, must be analyzed keeping in mind its concept: it is a low profile, ultra-silent cooler…..If you are looking for a good, quiet cooler for use in an HTPC (Home Theater PC) or small form factor (SFF) computer, the Noctua NH-L12 is an excellent choice…."


It seems like it is a good CPU cooler for smaller systems, but may be too small for mainstream consumers.
