Noctua NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition
Noctua NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition
The Noctua NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition processor cooler dissipates heat from processors in computer cases with limited space. This cooler uses a passive metal section connected to four heat pipes and one 92mm fan. Its low-profile 66mm design fits into compact computer builds, especially Louqe Ghost S1 cases. The air cooling system features automatic speed control, ranging from 0 to 1600 RPM. The cooler's fins extend over the RAM area, but its lower section provides space for memory modules up to 48mm in height. This design allows for the use of most common memory modules, including models with taller heat spreaders.
Key features of the Noctua NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition processor cooler
- 66mm cooler height fits into very small computer cases
- Provides clearance under the fins for memory modules up to 48mm high
- Uses securely soldered joints between the heat pipes and fins for permanent contact
- The 92mm fan produces only 17.6dB of noise at full load
- SecuFirm2 mounting kit supports both Intel and AMD sockets
- Includes second-generation NT-H2 thermal compound for efficient heat dissipation
Construction
The passive part of the cooler consists of aluminium fins that are firmly connected to the copper heat pipes by soldering. This connection method prevents the contacts from loosening due to the thermal expansion of metals after years of operation. The soldered joints maintain stable heat transfer throughout the cooler's lifespan. The design offers high resistance to the thermal cycles typical of gaming and workstations.
Mounting system
The SecuFirm2 mounting system secures the cooler to the motherboard, supporting a wide range of modern processor sockets. The system is compatible with Intel sockets 115x, 1200, 1700, 1851, and 1954, as well as AMD AM4 and AM5 sockets. The mounting system ensures precise contact pressure between the cooler and the processor's integrated heat spreader and enables easy installation.
NT-H2 thermal compound
Included in the package is the second-generation NT-H2 thermal compound, which fills the micro-cracks between the cooler base and the processor. This compound exhibits low thermal resistance and contributes to more efficient heat transfer to the passive section. It works reliably immediately after application and retains its properties for a long time without drying out.
Designed for compact cases
A height of 66mm allows this cooler to be installed in very small Small Form Factor computer cases. The cooler's dimensions are specifically tailored for the Louqe Ghost S1 case, where it serves as an optimal solution. Its low profile enables the construction of small computers with high computing performance. The cooler also fits into other cases with limited height for processor cooling.
