Noctua NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition, Premium Low Profile CPU Cooler with Quiet 92mm PWM Fan (Brown)

I used this in my ghost s1 and, of course, it fits perfectly. It's easy to install, came with a long Phillips screw driver and thermal Paste. It's quiet and efficiently cools my cpu. Good clearance for my corsair lpx ram

Bottom line. I swapped the stock cooler from a AMD 5600g for this. It was going onto a ROG B550-I board in a small ITX case. Essential to plug all case wires into the board before you mount this to your CPU as it is a chunky bit of kit!It comes with a tube of thermal paste and everything you need and you can’t argue with results! Had to check the fan was actually spinning it is so quiet 👍 So despite it being more involved to fit it was ultimately worth the hassle.Also — Make sure you check your board AND case clearance before ordering a Noctua on their website.

CPU cooler is near silent only ramping up fans occasionally, perfect fit inside my Ghost S1 and is keeping my ryzen 3700X under 75C even at full load!

I use this in my fractal ridge itx gaming pc and it does a great job of keeping my cpu cool. The fan is not too loud either. I do recommend setting a temperature limit though if your case doesn’t have any intake fans like mine.I did have a few issues with installation. The power cable connector on the fractal ridge can get in the way depending on which way up you want the cooler fitted. The second issue was the manual seems to give the wrong instructions regarding AM5. Look at my photos and you can see the AM5 set up results in some of the CPU not being cooled. I had to use the AM4 set up on my AM5 itx motherboard.Once set up properly it does its job well so no complaints. If you’re buying this make sure to research its use in your case and double check your cpu is fully covered.

Tried the noctua l9x65 cpu cooler, that cooler is making a terrible sound in a ghost s1.With the new cooler NH-L12 Ghost S1 edition, its silent and keeps the cpu below 70c (i5 9400f).This is the best air cooler for ghost s1=)

Its great what else is there to say! My temps reduced by 10c compared to my L9a and is much quieter. Installation is so easy

Arrived quickly, installed in under 10 mins, and it's dead quiet. Just what I wanted.

Far too expensive,Only max 2C lower than "other brand",Bags/brackets not labeled against the manual.Mine came incomplete which I assume it was a previous return, however I bought it stating "new".Unsure about the "height" as it wasn't a great fit in a case (very reputable brand worth £250) that supposed to take up to 67mm coolers, this appeared to be clashing by approx 2mm.Had to return it.The good thing is that it appears good quality and the cooler is relatively silent.
