Noctua NH-L9i

If you are looking for a good small form factor CPU cooler, then the Noctua NH-L9i is a great choice to consider. However, if you are planning some hi...

The price for this new Chrome as Black edition is 50 US dollars or euros and for that you get a very good CPU cooler that will fit most, if not all, s...

But ok, this should be all for the Noctua NH-L9i. Unfortunately, I did not manage to come up with any could have been better, because everything is ki...

So, I have to say, really impressed with this. I think Noctua did a very good job.

Next up: printing some armour for this Mobo to make it look cleaner. Final cooler will be a noctua L9i black.

First off, I really like this cooler. It manages to provide a large amount of heat dissipation in a very small package and does so silently. The unit seems solidly built and would appear to be built from high quality materials. The fan is ugly, but moves air very efficiently and quietly. Mounting th...

CPU- 12600K (10 core/16 Thread) heavily undervolted & OC'ed to all-core 4.7ghz on P-Cores & 3.7ghz on E-Cores w/ cache @ 40x, tops out around 75c in BFV 64P MP, around 60-65c all other games @ 1440P/4K, in the 90's after multiple runs of Cinebench R23.

The fan assembly mounting is a bit awkward: (1) Apply heat compound to CPU (2) Set fan assembly on CPU (3) Flip the fan assembly & motherboard over in order to secure the fan assembly with four screws The "flipping over to secure" required several attempts because the fan assembly was moving/sliding...

I got this to cool my mini itx build as a normal cooler just wouldn’t fit in the case I chose. Understand that this cooler is not intended for high end gaming computers.
