- NH-L9x65

The NH-L9x65 chromax.black is an all-black version of the NH-L9x65 low-profile coolers, which covers a middle ground between the larger NH-L12 series and the ultra-compact NH-L9i and NH-L9a series, With 65 instead of 37mm height and four instead of two heat pipes, the NH-L9x65 is more powerful than its smaller siblings yet retains their 95x95mm footprint, which not only guarantees 100% RAM and PCIe compatibility on current motherboards but also makes the cooler more convenient to work with as it doesn’t overhang near-socket connectors.

Thanks to the optimized NF-A9x14 premium fan that supports fully automatic speed control via PWM, the NH-L9x65 runs remarkably quiet. Topped off with the professional SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system for Intel and AMD, Noctua’s renowned NT-H1 thermal compound, and 6 years manufacturer’s warranty, the NH-L9x65 fuses everything users have come to expect from Noctua’s larger coolers into a compact premium package for space-restricted systems.

The NH-L9x6 is a highly compact, quiet low-profile cooler designed for use in small form factor cases and HTPC environments. While it provides first-rate performance in its class, it is not suitable for overclocking and or CPUs that create high heat loads. Please consult our CPU compatibility list to find out whether the NH-L9x65 is recommended for your CPU. The product supports many different AMD/Intel sockets, like Intel LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA1156, LGA1155, LGA1151, LGA1150, and AMD AM5, AM4. With the optional NM-I3 SecuFirm2 Mounting Kit, you can make this product also compatible with Intel's LGA775 & LGA1366 sockets.

The Noctua NH-L9x65 comes in a small attractive package, with corresponding logos and full information on all package sides.

Opening the box unveils its contents, everything is well organized and with safety in mind.

The CPU cooler is behind the top small accessories box and is secured via a carton box.

Users will get inside the retail box:

• Black NH-L9x65 heatsink
• NF-A9x14 HS-PWM chromax.black premium fan
• NA-RC7 Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A)
• NT-H1 high-grade thermal compound
• Black SecuFirm2 mounting kit
• Noctua Metal Case-Badge

The CPU cooler itself has a very small-sized CPU cooler. Its height (with fan) is 65mm, its Width (with fan) is 95 mm, and its Depth (with fan) is 95mm. The weight of the CPU cooler reaches (with fan) 413gr. The building material is Copper (base and heat pipes), aluminum (cooling fins), soldered joints & nickel plating, and comes with a black coated matte paint, aka the name "Chromax.black".

The base includes 4 heat pipes and everything is made out of copper (base and heat pipes).

Noctua has included with this product the NF-A9x14 HS-PWM chromax.black. It has bearing SSO2 technology with Max. rotation speed (+/- 10%) 2500 RPM and with the included adapters (L.N.A.) (+/- 10%) 1800 RPM, while the minimum rotational speed (PWM, +/-20%) is 600 RPM. The acoustical noise is 23.6 dB (A) while the L.N.A. adapter goes down to 14.8 dB (A). Alternatively you can also install a 92x92x25mm fan. More information about the product can be found on the official website.

- NH-D9L

The NH-D9L chromax.black is an all-black version of Noctua’s NH-D9L compact dual tower CPU cooler that has been designed to provide excellent quiet cooling performance at a height of only 110mm. Its comparably low profile (15mm lower than classic 9cm tower coolers such as the NH-U9S) not only guarantee full 3U compliance but also makes the NH-D9L ideal for compact HTPC and Small Form Factor cases that have airflow paths parallel to the mainboard.

Thanks to its 95x95mm footprint, the NH-D9L clears the RAM and PCIe slots on all Intel-based and most AMD-based ITX mainboards. The included NF-A9 premium fan supports automatic speed control via PWM for outstanding quietness of operation and a second, optional NF-A9 fan can be added for further improved performance in dual fan mode. Topped off with the SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system, Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound, and full 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, the NH-D9L forms a highly compact premium package for space-restricted applications.

A good idea is to visit the CPU compatibility list to find out whether the NH-D9L is recommended for your CPU. The product supports many different AMD/Intel sockets, like Intel Intel LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA1156, LGA1155, LGA1151, LGA1150, and AMD AM5, AM4.
