[News Team]

There are several instances, especially in technology, when taking up less space is important. Finding a good low profile cooler can be challenging, especially since the more compact designs don't always have the reputation of high performance. Today we will be looking at a low profile CPU Cooler that is designed be able to keep up with some of the popular larger coolers, yet do it in a more compact size. We have a low profile CPU Cooler by Noctua on the test-bench, and this one is called the NH-L12.

I knew that but I don't think painting them brown gives better performance.

The color of the fans is Noctua's signature.. once you see the color scheme most will already know those are Noctua products.

Yep. Hands down beyond dispute, Noctua makes the best fans around. Wish I had 6 more NF-F12's. The four I have now are freakin' fantastic.

Awesome review Kenny! The Noctua shows some good temp for Ivy running a lil hotter

[Doctor_Death]

Kenny, great job on your first cooler review, can't wait to see the Phanteks and Deepcool reviews.

[SamCR3]

Kenny's reviews are top notch. He seems to get a little better with each one. Great job Kenny!

[Solara2xb]

Thanks All for the compliments.. I really appreciate it..
I can't take all the credit though. Allot of the guys here helped me out along the way.

BTW Stan this is my 2nd cooler review. My first one was the Spire Cooler review. But this is my first review with the IvyB and FX chip. The last cooler review was with a 1090t and 2500k.

The Phantek and Deepcool reviews will be ready soon.

I am sure their sales will not hurt cause you don't approve PoLo!

Didn't you know, those colors make the air flow better inside the case?
