Noctua NH-L12Sx77, Low-Profile CPU Cooler (120mm, Brown)
Noctua NH-L12Sx77, Low-Profile CPU Cooler (120mm, Brown)
Performance-enhanced low-profile cooling
With 6 instead of 4 heatpipes, the NH-L12Sx77 offers significantly more headroom for higher heat-loads compared to the original NH-L12S. As such, it is ideal for getting the most out of today’s high-end CPUs in compact cases.

Needed a cooler for my custom case I built in a hard carrying case, as my older cooler was just too tall. I needed a low profile but high performance cooler for my Ryzen 7 5800X, and this one is sure doing the job, and it has a real hard job too since the custom case is just not good enough, so got a new proper case coming. I am not entirely sure if it is the case or the cooler, almost sure it is the case, but the CPU does get real warm at times, including on startup where it seems to get above 70c before cooling down once windows is fully booted. I will be updating this once I have had time to test the CPU cooler in a new case I wont be getting for another day or 2.

If you have those requirements, this will be it.
If your card is THICKER than > ~40-42mm do not get this cooler for the Fractal Terra.
Cools my 7800X3D super well.
I have a custom configured Blower – Style 4070ti Super 16gb VRAM.
3-5 degree improvement from original NH-12 from Noctua (4-pipe version).
NOTE: SWAP THE FAN’s DEFAULT CONFIGURATION FROM EXHAUST (STOCK) to INTAKE !! You will see an additional 1-3 C improvement in temperatures.
Got this after we were having heat issues with an old build, issues are gone now. Have converted the machine to a Linux box for playing with LLMs and it's rare that I get temps in the 60s, only after a few hours at load. Pretty great.

Gewohnt gute Noktua Qualitä
Ich hab den Khler auf meinem 5800X, in einem fractal design terra (mini ITX) verbaut. Unter Last in Prime95 kam ich bei 15min. auf max 89C. Und der 5800X ist ja bekanntlich ein Hitzkopf. Ich bin zufrieden und wrde ihn wieder kaufen.
Faible épaisseur & performa
Pour moi le plus important c’est la facilit du montage, par rapport au ventilateur de la marque Be quiet!
la bride de mise en pression ne se balade pas, on est sr d’tre bien au milieu.

Good Coole
Temperatures are ok for Louqe RAW S1, the case has bad thermal design, so its a bit hot, but I signed up for it.
In a Fractal Design Terra, you would have really good temperatures.
If you have RAM with NO heatsinks, you can fit a 25mm thick fan.
All in all, good cooler.
great product!
For the last month or two I have been using a Loque RAW S1 case with a Noctua “Ghost” edition cooler,
System:- Intel i714700T, Founders Edition RTX 4070, Asus B760i Motherboard.
I have had to restrict the power limits of the CPU to 40w sustained and 50w Burst(5 Seconds) to keep the system and CPU at a temperature that I personally find acceptable.
Tested with Noctua Ghost cooler on JUST prime95 for 60 minutes (21 degrees room temp) CPU is at 59 DegreesC
and running 3D Mark Timespy 20 minute Stress test is at 86 DegreesC (CPU and GPU running)
Fitted this new L12Sx77 and :-

This is, hands down the BEST low height cooler for ITX builds… I have been using Noctua in builds for about 15 years… and that will continue.
