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

On normal day to day use and Gaming, this thing will handle a 5900x just fine. On windows 10 I have power save mode on. This means that all my clock speeds are at 2.1ghz all the time (unless CPU gets a huge work load, then clock speeds will adjust to something higher) even when playing on games.

I bought this cooler to replace my AIO that was in my SFF build. It is quiet but I do think my CPU runs a bit hotter now, but not a lot. I bought it to match the rest of my noctua fans. I recommend this fan to anyone with a low profile build.

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

Great CPU cooler! Great build quality. Always been a fan of Noctua and I’ve gone with this cooler in so many other SSF builds of mine and my most recent one was in an In Win Chopin cools the CPU perfectly. It’s also about the same size as Low Profile sticks of ram so they should fit in every case possible. Apart from that, they’re Noctua and this is an amazing product. Highly recommend.

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.

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.

would buy again

Im using the cooler in a small computer installation where quiet operation of this component is very important.

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

This guy is like me. Slim and handsome :p
