Pros & Cons
Pros
Noctua's nh-d12l is a great alternative to the nh- d15. The dual-fan setup efficiently dissipates heat, keeping my cpu temperatures consistently low, even under heavy workloads and gaming sessions.
Highlights
Quality
The compact size of the nh-d12l makes it an excellent fit for a variety of pc setups, even in cases with limited space.
The build quality is exceptional – the heatsink and fans exude durability and precision craftsmanship.
Used on a core i7-10700kf and temps dropped over 25c on cinebench on a full load 100% cpu stress test for over ten mins averaging max 72c.
The stock cooler failed the same cinebench stress test and thermal throttled at 100c.
Price
A bit on the expensive side but definitely well worth the investment.
Shipping
I liked how fast and smooth it was to install that i bought another the same day it arrived !
Competitiveness
I highly recomend this noctua nh-d12l over the other giant noctua nh-d15.
Noctua lives up to its rep as the industry cooling leader.

But where this cooler truly shines is in its cooling performance
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The fan easily detaches and reattaches to the heatsink for easy access to the mounting screws

Due to the length of my gpu i could not run an aio and my nhd15 tower cooler was slightly too big to clear the psu shroud
