  • Very low noise level, good MB clearance and keeps Intel 10900K CPU cool
good quality. silent when not under load, low noise when under load. keep Intel 10900K (which tends to run hot) sufficiently cool. Low profile, looks good, but no RGB.

  • Best option for low space
Best option if you’re needing absolutely zero profile cooler. For basic office style use it’s absolutely adequate. For gaming it’s adequate as well, as long as you have reasonable expectations. I use this on a 10700k for gaming and have absolutely no issues. My average gaming load is about 55-60W at 20% CPU usage, my average gaming temp is 65C. So it easily cools with headroom available. I would say probably 80W gaming load would be about max you would want to use this cooler with. It’s acceptably quiet, like basically you don’t notice the fan noise unless you put your ear up to the case, and that’s with the fan over 2000rpm. Really good overall cool. And looks awesome in black lol. Quality is absolutely bulletproof. ... show more

  • it's noctuna of course its good.
The heat sink was easy to install, it only took like 5r minutes. Its extremely quiet and has lowered my cpus temp about 5 degrees while under heavy load compaired to the stock cooler. Plus its really easy to service

  • Awesome, low profile cooler
I swear I put this thing in every machine I’ve built lately. Great cooler. Make sure you buy the version that fits the cpu socket you have! I made that mistake twice…

  • In a league of it's own!
Beyond satisfied with this CPU cooler. Fit like a glove in my LGA1200 motherboard. After firing it up, I am now a Noctua fanboy (who would've thought PC fans would have a fan base). Don't think I'll ever use another brand for all future PC projects moving forward. The cost was concern enough for me to push off this purchase when I originally built this SFF PC project, but it's totally worth the price tag. For added quality Noctua flair, they didn't just include a brand sticker, they included a metal branding emblem. It really seems like Noctua considers every detail and strives to push the bar. Categorical opinions: Noise - Unbelievable... Just fired it up and had a hard time believing it was running. My new SFF project now has only Noctua fans for cooling, and there's no perceivable difference between on and off. Performance - Undeniable Beast... Didn't expect even the idle/low load temperature to drop, but immediately saw improvements. Cost - eh, didn't want to drop $50+ on a CPU cooling fan, but you definitely get what you pay for. Somehow, Noctua completely justifies the price tag. Installation - Not difficult, but potentially inconvenient... If this is a replacement CPU cooler for you, like it was for me, be prepared to disassemble everything unless your case has motherboard backside access. It's just 4 screws, but slightly inconvenient. Packaging - Amazing... I have never opened up a fan package and was wowed (wish I took a picture before I installed everything). ... show more

  • Good Low Noise Fan - Had Issues Installing
So my son save all his cash to buy his first new gaming rig. He worked with his friend and put together a build within his budget of just over $1k. He didn’t want to use the CPU fan that comes with the AMD processor he was buying and decided on this Noctua NH-L9i fan. Unfortunately this setup would not work with the. motherboard he choose because it sat to wide and low and blocked the closest Ram Slot on the motherboard. He was pretty disappointed but realized that there was an option to contact Noctua and get an adapter plate shipped out to better mount he fan and not block the Ram Slot. One thing I tell anyone building a computer is take your time and if something isn’t working to stop and review everything carefully and slowly before you proceed. Plowing forward often causes one to make a mistake and problems will occur. I gave him this advice but as inexperience computer builders do they don’t take this piece of advice and problems arise. Issue one was the screw to that mount the fan to the CPU heatsink. There were four Phillips head screws and he stripped the last one. He attempted to remove it again a second time and striped it further. I was able to save the situation after carefully thinking out what options and method to remove this stripped screw since it was inset flat to the surface of the heatsink. The only option was to use the tightest fitting Philips head bit I could find with my cordless drill and with full weight pressing straight down ever so slowly remove the screw. Issue two was getting the Noctua mounted. You are provided a different bracket to mount the fan to the heatsink and the accompanying (what I would call) retention mounting bracket that fits on the Bach of the motherboard through the four holes. They fit 8nti the four holes loosely and when we tried to mount the setup we could not get all the screws in. We initially were able to get one then two screws mounted, but the final two were impossible to mount. The spring tension on the metal bracket was just to strong and the mounting pressure we have to apply my son was concerned something would break. I tried slightly bending the bracket so it would be possibly easier to scre it down but that really didn’t help much. We were able to finally able to install all four screws and applying the thermal paste. Take away is make sure your motherboard and CPU fan setup are compatible and don’t block or cause issues installing all your equipment. The Noctua fan is nice. It’s quiet and low profile for this application. ... show more

  • Night n day
It did a great job cooling down my pc which came with a stock cooler that was always making noise due to ramping up to handle heat. This Noc handles the temps like a champ without getting loud. A little tricky to install but def worth it. Would def buy again.

  • Very Quiet & Very Cool
CPU runs very cool about 95°F. Fit well on a mini itx MSI Z370I Pro Carbon AC. Did not interfere with memory or other MoBo parts. Super nice would definitely buy again. I also used the Noctura fan duct kit which creates an isolated tunnel that gets air from the outside of the case instead the inside. ... show more
