Noctua supply the NH-L12 within a compact cardboard box which is decorated in a rather plain brown and white livery. The front of the box features a brief list of the cooler’s key features and little else.
Turning the box around reveals a more detailed breakdown of these features alongside some thumbnail diagrams for illustration. The box itself is reasonably substantial in construction and there is plenty of inner packaging to prevent damage to the cooler during shipping.
There is a comprehensive bundle included with the cooler which includes separate installation guides for AMD and Intel systems and all the required installation accessories. There are a number of other items supplied including a low noise adapter for the fans and a tube of NT-H1 thermal paste.
great coolers, but they look ugly I think, almost like hospital equipment 🙂
I had hoped you would test the cooler only using the 92m fan, without the 120mm attached, seeing as that is one of the installation options.
My HTPC case can only accept coolers up to 70mm and I’ve been looking at this as an option but cannot find any reviews which rate the performance in the true low-profile configuration.
Any chance of an update to the review?
Hi Martin,
We actually tested the cooler in low profile mode in our review of the Silverstone Fortress FT03 case which you can find here http://www.kitguru.net/components/cases/henry-butt/silverstone-fortress-ft03-mini-case-review/
Might be a 5 year old review but still helpful! Thanks for the info.
