# Dual Tower CPU Coolers Noctua Launched the High-Performance, Low-Height 'NH-D12L' Air Cooler By Colin Smith | Published 2022-04-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nhd12l References: [pcgamer](https://www.pcgamer.com/noctua-launches-its-low-profile-nh-d12l-dual-tower-cooler/) & [noctua.at](https://noctua.at/)  '[Noctua](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nhl12sx77),' one of the most respected companies in the personal computer cooling solutions industry, has announced the 'NH-D12L' dual [tower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tower-250) CPU cooler. This cooler has two evaporator coils placed on opposite sides of a high-performance [120mm Noctua fan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nf-a12x25-g2). 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.
