    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.

    Looks sleek and slim, very happy with it so far. The fan can get a bit noisy, especially with AMDs fan curve, so I decided to get a 120mm fan and adapter. Should cool and quiet things down for a perfect low-profile cooler

    Very quiet and it was easy to install. I like the low profile.

    Cant 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.

    I got this mounted and started benchmarking but exchanged it for a low profile AIO.

    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.

    so 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.

    Little to no noise level, but hard to mount onto your motherboard.

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 profile

Due 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 compatibility

The 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-ITX

Some 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 AM4

The 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.
