Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.Black, Low-Profile CPU Cooler for AMD AM4 (Black)

BUY THIS.... I have bought 3 (one for myself and two for my parents build). Best. Friend who helped me build my PC also bought two of these instead of going for water cooling cuz its easier and cheaper.

This is a great cpu cooler that is quiet and low profile. This is cooling my Ryzen 7 3700X and keeping the temperatures steady and ideal. I would like to see a newer method by Noctua for mounting this type of cooler. Having to secure the unit from underneath is doable just takes some coordination. Overall the device is great and works flawless. I would like to see some option for a fan RGB. This is an excellent purchase for those who may be building an ITX system also. Noctua gets my vote for Quality and Performance.

Performs at the exact same level as the black ridge cooler, at least in my case with a R5 3600. Significantly quieter. Looks amazing. Affordable and available. You dont need a C7 cu. Just get this bad boy

Stock Wraith Stealth cooler for my 2600 was making a whining noise so I had to swap it out. Heard a lot of positive talk about Noctua so I decided to give em a go now that theyre making black fans. Threw this thing in my system and I dont even realize its there. Thing is DEAD SILENT, and cools better than the stock Stealth. Between this and the dual 120mm Noctuas I also mounted in the case itself, the loudest thing now is the power supply. Would throw a Noctua fan in there too if I could. These things command a bit of a price premium, but youre getting exactly what youre paying for: computing tranquility.

Same great performance I was getting from my old NH-L9a-AM4, but black. Looks very nice in my S4M.

I use this in my Ncase M1 (glass panels) on my AMD Ryzen 7 3800X. Averages around 43 C and tops out at 70C. This is very impressive considering it is currently 90+F weather and inside my house is at an average temp of 85F

Really great product. Needed a cooler for my Ryzen processor in my M-ITX build. Extremely tight case (Silverstone SG13) so I needed something with low clearance. This fit the bill and is nearly silent to boot. Will always recommend Noctua products.

Good quality material but combined with the stock fan the stock AMD wraith cooler can fit almost every application this can and perform 30% better. However, when I hooked up a 120mm fan to this, it outperformed the wraith by 30%.

It was easy to install and works like a charm. I have never been disappointed with noctua.

This thing is super quiet and keeps my thermals down. Ive been hearing that these are the best for years and now I see why. Even packaging and instructions were simple and nice
