'Noctua,' one of the most respected companies in the personal computer cooling solutions industry, has announced the 'NH-D12L' dual tower CPU cooler. This cooler has two evaporator coils placed on opposite sides of a high-performance 120mm Noctua fan. While most consumer-grade air coolers have a single evaporator coil, the addition of a second coil allows the cooler to spread heat more efficiently, lowering the CPU temperatures over time.
Perhaps one of the most notable qualities of the NH-D12L, though, is its low height. The cooler measures only 145mm in height, meaning it can fit in many more mid-sized and micro-sized cases than other high-performance air coolers. Additionally, for computer owners who have a more spacious case, the cooler can be upgraded with a second 120mm intake fan, drastically improving the heat disbursement of the unit.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Dual Tower CPU Coolers
- Noctua launched a new dual tower CPU cooler, which may create a trend of more efficiently spreading heat.
- Low-height Coolers
- The low height of the NH-D12L may carve out a trend for air coolers that can fit in smaller cases.
- Upgraded Intake Fans
- The ability to upgrade NH-D12L's intake fan could potentially become a trend within the PC cooling solutions industry.
Sectors Adopting This
- PC Cooling Solutions
- The launch of the NH-D12L may disrupt the PC cooling solutions industry by revolutionizing the way heat is dissipated.
- PC Hardware
- The NH-D12L's low height offers disruption opportunities for manufacturers of PC hardware by creating the need for smaller cases.
- Technology Accessories
- The NH-D12L's upgraded intake fan may be disruptive to the technology accessories industry by sparking a trend of higher-performing cooling solutions.
