NHL12S VS NHL9X65

[Xantosh]

Hi all, 1st time on here, coming from full tower builds, SFF looks the way to go for my needs nowadays, but i am wondering for this case/build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8bqdXP would you recommend NH-L12s or the NH-L9x65?
(and don't worry about gpu i have one coming from an older build that is relatively new)

You could even get away with an L9a.

Im pretty sure the wraith spire cooler fits in that case if you leave out the 120mm casefan

I've not tested the new NH-L12s, but I do use the L9x65 on a 100watt TDP 760k and it does an excellent job. It would also allow you to use a 15mm fan above the mobo

I'd recommend the L9x65 just for compatibility - the L12s may have issues with taller RAM.
