Shoehorned into somewhere HP never intended a decent cooler to venture. Instant 10 degree temp drop. Which is very much the result I was hoping for. Review: Quiet compact air cooler - Needed a compact cooler to fit an existing PC case this one had room to spare. Does what it is supposed to do and it's quiet. A water cooler would probably keep the cpu (rated at 120w) cooler but I didn't have room to mount it. No chance of leaking and although an extra fan can be added there is no sign this will be necessary ## Features - Award-winning, low-profile (145mm) dual-tower heatsink with outstanding cooling performance and excellent quietness of operation, now available in all-black! - Compact design guarantees 100% RAM compatibility, fits most 4U rackmount server chassis as well as many ITX and Small Form Factor (SFF) cases (e.g. DAN C4-SFX, Cooler Master NR200 series) - State-of-the-art NF-A12x25r 120mm fan with Low-Noise Adaptors and PWM for automatic speed control: full cooling performance under load, whisper quiet at idle! - Includes high-end NT-H1 thermal paste and SecuFirm2 mounting system for easy installation on Intel LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA115x and AMD AM5 & AM4 (offset mounting option for best efficiency) - Renowned Noctua quality backed up by 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, deluxe choice for Intel Core & Core Ultra (e.g. 285K, 265K, 245K) and AMD Ryzen (e.g. 9950X, 9900X, 9700X, 9600X) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CVKZ9T3Q | | Air Flow Capacity | 84.5 Cubic Metres Per Hour | | Best Sellers Rank | 38,187 in Business, Industry & Science ( See Top 100 in Business, Industry & Science ) 90 in Computer Heatsinks | | Brand | Noctua | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Cooling Method | Air | | Cooling method | Air | | Country Of Origin | Taiwan | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 207 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 6 Years | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 12.5L x 11.3W x 14.5H centimetres | | Item Weight | 890 Grams | | Manufacturer | Noctua | | Manufacturer Part Number | NH-D12Lchromaxblack | | Material | Copper (base and heat-pipes), aluminium (cooling fins), soldered joints & nickel plating | | Max Rotational Speed | 2000 RPM | | Model Number | NH-D12Lchromaxblack | | Noise Level | 22.6 Decibels | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Power Connector Type | 4-Pin | | Power connector type | 4-Pin | | Product Warranty | 2 year manufacturer | | Product dimensions | 12.5L x 11.3W x 14.5H centimetres | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Wattage | 1.68 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Noctua - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Cooling method:** Air - **Material:** Copper (base and heat-pipes), aluminium (cooling fins), soldered joints & nickel plating - **Maximum rotational speed:** 2000 RPM - **Noise level:** 22.6 Decibels - **Power connector type:** 4-Pin - **Product dimensions:** 12.5L x 11.3W x 14.5H centimetres - **Voltage:** 12 Volts - **Wattage:** 1.68 watts ## Images ![NH-D12L chromax.black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GpqISj9gL.jpg) ![NH-D12L chromax.black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81C2mE4EhQL.jpg) ![NH-D12L chromax.black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dWiQ2mBgL.jpg) ![NH-D12L chromax.black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xnzyypOWL.jpg) ![NH-D12L chromax.black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-zPOIOYvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well, it's a Noctua. *by M***E on 14 July 2026* Excellent cooler. Shoehorned into somewhere HP never intended a decent cooler to venture. Instant 10 degree temp drop. Which is very much the result I was hoping for. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quiet compact air cooler *by W***G on 20 April 2025* Needed a compact cooler to fit an existing PC case this one had room to spare. Does what it is supposed to do and it's quiet. A water cooler would probably keep the cpu (rated at 120w) cooler but I didn't have room to mount it. No chance of leaking and although an extra fan can be added there is no sign this will be necessary ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Slimline design works *by P***L on 20 January 2025* Finally found this cooler after a long search to cool an I9 processor in a small case. The low height is perfect and fit in the case with no modifications. Had to return two previous purchases as they wouldn’t quite fit in. Keeps an I9 at about 65 to 70 degrees whilst gaming. ## Frequently Bought Together - Noctua NH-D12L chromax.Black, Low-Height Dual-Tower CPU Cooler (120mm, Black) - Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin (120mm, Black) - Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM chromax.Black.swap, Premium Quiet Slim Fan, 4-Pin (120x15mm, Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/618362417-nh-d12l-chromax-black](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/618362417-nh-d12l-chromax-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
