The higher the RPM in these charts, the better, especially in the normalized noise charts. The NH-D12L performs well in the normalized noise charts, proving its optimal noise design.

Noctua is just one of the apples of the PC world, brand recognition but only make overpriced barely passable gear, some of their fans here in AU are like $70 each, for fkn fans, they are an uppity brand that doesn’t deserve the adoration they get.
Why are you comparing a fan CPU cooler to AIO liquid coolers. Not really a fair comparison and not really useful to the consumers. Comparing the Noctura DH-12L to a Be quiet Dark Rock cooler is a better comparison.
First, I compare it with all the rest high-end coolers. Second, its price point is in the AIO territory.
Third, it is a CPU Cooler after all 😊…
However, if it’s not too bothersome… you can put different colors for AIO and Air to satisfy some readers.
By the way, …do you have in your schedule to review ThermalRight PS 120/120EVO?
I believe, it can level or beat Arctic LF (maybe even with its promo-price) in Performance Per Price ratio.
