The NH-L12Sx77 is a slightly taller variant of the award-winning NH-L12S, offering improved cooling performance as well as improved motherboard and RAM compatibility.

With 6 instead of 4 heat pipes, the NH-L12Sx77 offers significantly more space for higher heat loads compared to the original NH-L12S. As such, it's ideal for getting the best out of today's high-end CPUs in compact enclosures, where their aggressive turbo boost modes are especially challenging to handle.

The NH-L12Sx77 not only improves performance, but also motherboard and RAM compatibility compared to the original NH-L12S: due to the x77 version's taller construction, the space for RAM modules as well as motherboard heatsinks and screens could be significantly increased, making the cooler easy to mount in most configurations.

Like the regular NH-L12S, the NH-L12Sx77 has its fan pre-installed under the fin stack that blows upwards, which is ideal in compact cases that typically have a perforated panel just above the cooler, as hot air can be directed out instead of accumulate inside the cabinet. At the same time, this setup avoids noise from turbulence that occurs when fans draw air in through perforated panels.

With a height of 77mm (7mm higher than the original NH-L12S' 70mm), the NH-L12Sx77 is a perfect fit for Fractal Design's Terra (with maximum space setting for the CPU cooler), SilverStone's Milo ML12 or Louqe's unique, award-winning RAW S1 case as well as many other enclosures that cannot accommodate the larger NH-C14S (115mm in low profile mode) or NH-D9L (110mm).
