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

If ur building a itx machine, get it.

Seriously: Best. Tiny. CPU. Cooler. Ever. Gives you the most bang for your buck, its so quiet (I could barely tell my system was running on load), and the new Chromax.black looks so good. Only thing that was awkward about it was installing the back plate under the board and having to screw in from underneath instead of on top like most of the others, but all-in-all, really cant complain after seeing these thermals. Cant get this kind of performance at this size from anyone else. Also, the box they sent it in was adorable, not that it matters for most people, but you can really tell they care about their consumer base.

Got this one because I wanted a low profile cooler for purely aesthetic reasons and this one is an incredible deal. Installed this on my MSI B550 (I saw a review that said it lacked parts needed to fit but it seems it’s all pre packaged now) able to overclock my Ryzen 5000 series CPU and the temps are low. Very silent and was easy to install. Everything from product to packaging is incredible. My first time purchasing a noctua product and it really impressed me.

So far so good. Got a sff case and the temps are still pretty low.

Installation is HARD, but other than that 5 stars all around. I would reccomend two people for intsall then easy.

I use this in my Ncase M1 (glass panels) on my AMD Ryzen 7 3800X. Averages around 43 C and tops out at 70C. This is very impressive considering it is currently 90+F weather and inside my house is at an average temp of 85F

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.

Not very far off in temps as the cryorig c7 it replaced but its way quiet. Cant hear it under load with my Ryzen 2600

Works perfectly on my AMD Radeon 9 5900x 12-core porcessor. Highest temperature Ive seen is 90C.

Works like a charm! Keeps thing very cool, while being very low profile!
