> 3 dayso i bought this cpu fan cause i wanted small fan so i can install my gpu vertically .i have a Gigabyte B550 aorus Elite with Ryzen 7 3700x on Noctua website this cpu is compatible for this fan.before had a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition but since the size of this cooler i could not install my gpu vertically.so first to install Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 on a already built system is a pain much easier if you have the motherboard out.now cooling 7 3700x stock my temps were to high not happy.would run a few test and it would go up to 95 plus Celsius with the Hyper i get 70-75 Celsius but the hyper gets loud the Noctua is pretty quite at full full speed but this cooler can handle the heat the Ryzen 7 3700x generates so i had to return it and when back to the Hyper looking to try AIO cooler instead.this should work with lower power ryzen just fine.also this cooler is small fit my motherboard perfect does not take much space so ram and gpus dont get in the way.

> 3 dayThis 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.

> 3 dayCant go wrong with a Noctua cooler, this one is super quiet and keeps temps low under a decent load. Only complaint is the installation of this one, you have to remove your motherboard if you are adding this to an existing build and it requires you to kind of blind align the cpu and heatsink to get the screws to thread from the back.

> 3 dayGreat cooler used for a micro PC build. Fan is so quiet I had to check for air flow to make sure it was running! I will definitely be buying more Noctua fans and coolers in the future. Awesome equipment Noctua!

Greater than one weekOn 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.

The NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.black is an all-black version of Noctua’s award-winning NH-L9a-AM4 low-profile quiet CPU cooler for AMD Ryzen based HTPCs and Small Form Factor (SFF) builds. Thanks to the same proven heatsink design and NF-A9x14 PWM fan, it stays true to the NH-L9a-AM4’s successful formula of fusing a height of only 37mm with strong performance and excellent quietness of operation, as well as 100% RAM and PCIe compatibility. At the same time, the chromax.black version with its black fan and black coated heatsink combines these assets with a sleek stealth look. Topped off with the renowned SecuFirm2 low-profile mounting system for AMD AM4 and Noctua’s enthusiast-grade NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.black is a premium choice for customers who seek an ultra-compact heatsink that looks just as great as it cools.

|---|---|---|---|
37mm low profileDue to the slim 23mm heatsink and the NF-A9x14 low profile fan that measures only 14mm in thickness, the NH-L9 stands a mere 37mm tall, which makes it ideal for use in compact HTPCs or Small Form Factor cases that offer minimum clearance for CPU coolers. |
100% RAM compatibilityThe NH-L9a-AM4 has a compact footprint that fully complies with the socket keep-out zones specified by AMD. This means that neither the heatsink nor the fan overhang the RAM, so the cooler provides easy access to the slots and is fully compatible with tall memory modules. |
100% compatibility with PCIe cards on mini-ITXSome AMD-based mini-ITX motherboards have the PCIe slot located close to the CPU socket zone. While larger coolers that exceed this zone may block the PCIe slot, the compact-sized NH-L9a-AM4 provides full compatibility with PCIe cards. |
Custom-designed SecuFirm2 mounting for AM4The NH-L9a-AM4 comes with a custom-designed SecuFirm2 mounting system for the AM4 socket of AMD’s Ryzen platform. Allowing the heatsink to be fixed from the back of the motherboard, it makes installation easier than ever, all while maintaining the trusted SecuFirm2 quality. |
