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

Love the fan, super high quality. The mounting kinda was ridiculous though but Im not sure how to make that better. You have to hold the mounting bracket backplate, fan, and the screw in place all at once. I guess you could temporarily tape the backplate and then remove it after install. But yeah its dead quiet, looks great, and truly is low profile.

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.

This thing sits lower than my ram it’s amazing! Thermals are great and it allowed me to get that clearance I needed to vertically mount my gpu in my ITX case! Super quiet as well easy to install! Worth every penny! (UPDATE 1 MONTH LATER) suddenly got frame rate drops and couldnt understand why so I ran a test and found out my cpu fan wasnt spinning. Low noise adapter that the cooler came with went out but I just used an extender my case manufacturer provided so were all set. Honestly sounds the same in volume still a 5 star for me.

I bought this to replace a tower-style cooler that didnt fit well with my updated RAM. Installation is straight forward and simple if your board is not installed in the case. On-case installation (like mine) is a little trickier as you need to use the backplate provided and do the adjustments vertically. In terms of performance, I have no complaints, it performs as good as my old cooler in a significantly smaller package, which is definitely a highlight. Probably the major drawback is the price, but in my opinion is worth it

After delivery I had find out that I ordered wrong but the name of this item for AMD and INTEL processor are very similar. All information, text, pictures, prices are equally the same. While order I lost focus and had paid for AMD while I wished to order for INTEL. I would advise seller to make more differences in product pages so that buyers would see better. I am not expert in parts to notice that. Unfortunately I will have to return this product and have to buy offline.

Definatly one of the coolest pun intended, Cooling units ive ever installed. They really do mean 100% compatible. Perfect clearance for my ram AND my m.2 slot. And its height is amazing. Feels solid and durable and the thermal paste it comes with you only need to unscrew to tube cap to administer. i can see why noctua is such an impressive brand. Will update later when i see the coolers performance.

These are absolutely fantastic!!!! (Pun totally intended)

Great product, it knocked my CPU temperature down 20 degrees C vs. my stock ryzen wraith. I only took a star off because it is very difficult to install without removing your motherboard. For a new build it would be easy but if you are upgrading it will be a challenge. Also there are no extra screws so if one rolls off somewhere you might be in for trouble.

I was setting up an ITX system as a secondary in one of my phanteks computer cases, and needed a cooler that could fit in a tight space and still provide adequate cooling for the ITX processor. Most 120mm AIOs didnt have the tube length I needed, tower coolers were too tall, and a lot of low profile coolers conflicted with the RAM slots.

This cooler was so easy to install into the tiny ASRock Deskmini. It is amazingly quiet, even under load. Far quieter than the stock cooler it comes with.
