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

Threw this in my asrock x300 to cool my ryzen pro 4750g and its quiet and handles temps very well even when you adjust fan speed. My dvr/emulator station loves this in it

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.

Really good for sff build it’s keeps the temps ok on my no GPU build - 40 on standard use 55-60 while gaming Valorant and simple games. Very sleek very premium quality feel.

When I purchased this cooler, I didnt realize that my motherboard had a non-standard component arrangement which would prevent the included backplate of this cooler from fitting. Noctuas support has been fantastic and they shipped me an alternative mounting solution free of charge.

Noctua always makes good product, but for some reason my package was opened. That is some sketchy business if you ask me. What if it was something valuable? Good thing the average Joe doesnt know wtf this thing is....

Only con was the mounting. Trying to sandwich the backplate to the cooler for an even application to the cpu was the biggest pain, but not overly frustrating. Temps are good, not groundbreaking, but acceptable for a low profile cooler. Adjust the curve in your bios to an acceptable noise level and keep it there. Overall I’m very happy.

Absolutely amazing CPU cooler; exceeded my expectations.

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.

Like how low it sits on the motherboard

Somehow cools my 3950x
