Noctua NH-L9x65, Premium Low-Profile Processorkoeler (65mm, Bruin)

Keeps the 5600G of my HTPC 7 decrees celsius colder than the stock cooler and is a lot quieter.

This CPU cooler is probably the best choice on the market for anyone trying to cool a performance processor in a Mini ITX case like my Cooler Master Elite 130. Initially, I was scared away from this by the height of this cooler because my case specs said I only had 65 mm of clearance, but the true clearance is probably around 75 mm so this cooler fits just right under the PSU. Keep in mind, these will cool the S or T series Intel chips phenomenally, but for K processors like my i5-4690k, you are going to be seeing warmer temps, even though they are reasonable if you really can't fit a bigger tower cooler.Performance (4/5):I idle between 35-40 degrees C with an i5-4690k OC'ed @ 4.0 GHz. Load on The Witcher 3 with my GTX 970 adding some heat to the case is I switched from the stock cooler to the NH-L9i and then to this, and I am generally seeing around 10 degrees cooler temps with this versus those two, and I had the thicker 25 mm fan for the NH-L9i as well. I have no concerns with the temperatures I am seeing, though I would not consider upping my overclock beyond 4.2 GHz, and probably will just let it sit at 4 GHz.Installation (5/5):You will need access to the back of the motherboard for initial installation, but after that you can remove the heatsink and reseat it just from the front. The mount is solidly built and does a great job of simplifying the process of securing the heatsink once you've applied your thermal paste. On other coolers, you have to try hard to center over the processor and tighten 4 points at once. This cooler only requires two connections to the mounting bracket, is easy to align, and is very solid once it is secured. The thermal paste is top notch. Remember to aim for lentil size in the middle! The included Low Noise Adapter and screwdriver round out the package.There are mounts for LGA 2011, LGA 115x, and AMD sockets included. It truly is a universal cooler for modern processors. The included fan locks to the cooler securely, and the fan cable is sturdy and was definitely long enough. This cooler is even lighter than the NH-L9i so it shouldn't flex the motherboard much if at all. Overall, this was a very quick and sturdy installation.Noise (4/5):Definitely noticeable at 100%, but not obtrusive. At 70% or so, the fan is basically silent in the case along with the case fans. At idle, you'll get about the same acoustic performance as the stock cooler. At load, the Noctua is quieter than stock, but a slight acoustic tone is introduced by the 14 mm fan. This is acceptable in my opinion, but people that require absolute silence may want to limit the fan curve or install the Low Noise Adapter at the cost of extra heat. I have not noticed any extra vibration or wind noises in the case. In conclusion, the noise goes from nonexistent to acceptable, which is a triumph for a part that is optimized for size and cooling at the same time as noise.Build Quality (5/5):My shipping box came with a corner dented in. Thanks UPS. Luckily, the Noctua packaging was well designed and the cooler was in good condition, no bent fins or anything. The fan is very well made. The heatsink felt a bit fragile but normal handling definitely won't bend fins or make you worry about breaking it. Just don't drop the heatsink and it will be just fine. The fins are much thinner than the NH-L9i or the Intel stock cooler. I'm guessing this helps performance somehow or reduces the necessary static pressure from the fan.The contact plate was covered with a plastic shield but I had some dust under the shield. A quick wipe with 99% iso was all that was needed to get it completely clear of dust. I would definitely not trust the shield to replace a pre-installation cleaning. Instructions were clear and to the point. There is enough thermal paste for probably 4 overeager applications and a fifth, lentil-sized drop. If you look up reviews of this thermal paste, it is one of the best out there and you get enough to mess up a few times and still have some left over. Overall, this cooler is a premium product through and through.Final Thoughts:If you are considering this for anything but a space-restricted setup, you should look elsewhere. Noctua's other coolers and even the cheap Cooler Master 212 will generally perform better. This product is specifically for small cases with limited cooler clearance and people that prioritize noise and performance over price. For what it is, it's a godsend. Now you can use your hot Haswell chips in a Mini-ITX case with even a mild overclock! I have tried other coolers, including the Intel stock cooler and the Noctua NH-L9i with a fan upgrade, and this one is hands down the best performing. That said, the stock cooler will work for most people, so the value proposition of this cooler only makes sense if you need cooler temps or lower noise at minimal height and don't mind the premium pricing. You get what you pay for with this product, and with the 6 year warranty and superb build quality along with promises to send you brackets for new sockets, this cooler may just last you through two builds.I'm giving this 5 stars even though my average is 4.5 because for those who specifically need to cool their performance CPUs in a small case, this is the perfect product. For others with more clearance, I would probably give this a 4 star and urge you to save money or get better performance with the bigger Noctua coolers or the CM Hyper-212.

Everything is missing.. the toolkit was missing.. the screws were missing.. the cooler was used and had a thermal compound on it.. the thermal compound itself was missing ..n the main Mount was missing.. it shipped from Calcutta XRIG sales ..

Acheté pour remplacer le ventilateur de base qui avait beaucoup de mal à garder mon i5-10400F en dessous de 80°C en pleine charge, et donc entraînait un bridage pour stabiliser la température.Montage très facile mais attention parfois le socle de maintien du refroidisseur est soudé à la carte mère. Sur ma P03-600 de chez Acer c'était le cas.Pas de panique, il suffit d'acheter 4 vis à têtes cylindriques M3 0.5x12 pour fixer le bloc.Montage ultra facile et rapide.Les résultats sont très impressionnants, 70°C en pleine charge (ce qui arrive rarement maintenant, puisqu'il n'y a plus de bridage), sinon je tourne en moyenne à 50°C. Mon système est à 21°C.Très compact il est vraiment super bien pensé et son ventilateur est très silencieux.Noctua mérite très largement sa si bonne réputation.
