"With both fans installed, it is 3.7” (93 mm) high, but if you need to install it in a really small case, you can remove its 120 mm fan, making it only 2.6” (66 mm) tall. It also presents the high-quality construction we are accustomed to seeing in Noctua products.
If you are looking for a good, quiet cooler for use in an HTPC (Home Theater PC) or small form factor (SFF) computer, the Noctua NH-L12 is an excellent choice, thus receiving the Hardware Secrets Silver Award."
