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 where their aggressive turbo boost modes are especially challenging to handle.

Better performance, better compatibility

The NH-L12Sx77 not only improves performance but also motherboard and RAM compatibility versus the original NH-L12S: Due to the x77 version’s taller construction, clearance for RAM modules as well as motherboard heatsinks and shrouds could be increased significantly, which makes the cooler an easy fit in most configurations.

44mm RAM clearance

In its standard orientation with the bends of the heatpipes facing the I/O panel of the motherboard, the NH-L12Sx77 supports RAM modules of 44mm height, making it fully compatible with a wide range of high-end modules (see the Noctua Compatibility Centre).

Exhaust airflow direction

The NH-L12Sx77 has its fan pre-installed underneath the fin stack blowing upwards, which is ideal in compact cases that typically have a perforated panel right above the cooler as hot air can be exhausted directly instead of accumulating inside the case. At the same time, this setup avoids noises from influx turbulences that occur when fans are drawing in air through perforated panels.

High clearance mode

Run with the NF-A12x15 fan installed on top, the NH-L12Sx77 provides extended clearance underneath the fin stack. This way, it is fully compatible with chipset coolers and RAM modules with up to 56mm in height (compared to 44mm in the default configuration with the fan installed underneath the fin stack).

PWM support and Low-Noise Adaptor

The NF-A12x15 120mm fan supplied with the NH-L12Sx77 supports PWM for convenient automatic speed control through the motherboard: full performance under load, virtually silent at idle. In addition, the maximum fan speed can be reduced from 1850 to 1400rpm using the supplied Low-Noise Adaptor for even quieter operation.

120x25mm fan support

The fan clips supplied with the NH-L12Sx77 work not only with the slim NF-A12x15 fan but also with 25mm thick 120mm fans. Users who have extra room inside their cases can thus boost the cooler’s performance by using a standard 120x25mm fan on top (increases total height to 102mm).
