Big Bruin 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:

"The Noctua NH-L12 heatpipe CPU cooler is an excellent choice for an HTPC or desktop system where space is at a premium. With the 120mm fan installed on top of the cooler it stands just 93mm (@3.7") tall, and if you can manage to run with just the lower 92mm fan installed you can get the overall height down to 66mm (@2.6"). This will fit a large number of cases, including some of the slimmer low profile units available. And considering its strong cooling performance, you may just want to use it in a full size system - even if you have room for a much larger tower style cooler."


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