Posted July 1, 2020 There is no new news on the NF-A12x25 chromax fans. Current speculation is Q1 2021 ------------------------------- Air cooling in tiny cases (sub 12L) can be extremely difficult; the coolers are either too weak for the CPU you want to cool or they dont fit in the case and you'd have to mod the case or cooler, or both to fit. To meet the demand for this form factor, Noctua took their discontinued L12 (The newer L12S heatsink is 4mm taller), removed the 120mm top fan and added AM4 and LGA1200 support. Quote Coming with a single 92mm fan and Noctua’s second-generation NT-H2 thermal compound, as well as the latest SecuFirm2™ multi-socket mounting system, the NH-L12 Ghost S1 edition has been customized to be an ideal companion for quiet high-end builds in Louqe’s award-winning Ghost S1 enclosure. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price is EUR/USD 54.90. The cooler is available as of today via Noctua’s official Amazon and eBay stores Measurements Height (with fan): 66 mm Width (with fan): 128 mm Depth (with fan): 150 mm Weight (without fan): 410g Weight (with fan): 500g It should be noted that just because it's the "Ghost S1 edition" doesnt mean it cant fit in any other cases, simply that it was the perfect low profile cooler for the Ghost S1's according to their CPU comparison PDF. It will still fit into thicker "Tall and thin" cases like the Silverstone ML07, RVZ01/03 and traditional style cases like the Ncase M1 V6 and Sidearmd T1, but not the thinner ML08, RVZ02, Fractal Design Node 202, and standard cases with GPU chambers like the Dancsae A4 and Thorzone Mjolnir. It's cool that they brought back this product specifically for the SFF community. It shows that Noctua is paying attention to the hardcore SFF community which could indicate the direction manufactures are going. NZXT and CoolerMaster have also released or are working on real SFF PC cases that are competing with some of these smaller cases giving users more affordable options, which is a major step in the right direction IMO. Gone are the days of 70+L full towers, users are demanding smaller and more space efficient while managing higher heat load, and products like this show that the cry for better hardware is heard.

Posted July 1, 2020 I was mad that it took them this long and it's just a re-release. But then remembered it's Noctua and that's just who they are and I still love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 1, 2020 Author On 7/1/2020 at 12:33 PM, VegetableStu said: official estimates point to Q1 2021 actually https://noctua.at/en/product-roadmap It's technically official, but at this point I'm calling it speculation because I feel like Noctua is speculating at this point. The announcement for the Chromax fans was over a year ago with an late 2019/early 2020 date (same time literally every other Chromax fan except the Chromax coolers) came out.

Posted July 1, 2020 Oh cool a cooler for a case that's availability is infrequent at the extreme best case scenario, plus spoty top hat availability. Not to mention the fairly bad paint matching between case and top hats among various other issues. Beautiful case in reviews though. This cooler will be available and I Stock more frequently than the case.

Posted July 2, 2020 That Ghost S1 case looks cool, but I just checked... it costs 285 EUR! 285 !!!! I would be in the market to upgrade to a nicer built ITX case from my Sugo 13, but at those prices, I cannot justify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
