The NH-L9x65 chromax.black is an all-black version of the award-winning NH-L9x65 low-profile cooler, 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 heatpipes, the NH-L9x65 is more powerful than its smaller siblings yet retains the NH-L9is 95x95mm footprint, which not only ensures 100% RAM and PCIe compatibility on current motherboards but also makes the cooler more convenient to work with as it does not overhang near-socket connectors. Thanks to the highly optimised 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 and Noctuas renowned NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-L9x65 fuses everything users have come to expect from Noctuas larger coolers into a compact premium package for space restricted systems.
Due to its compact heatsink and the 14mm thin NF-A9x14 low profile fan, the NH-L9x65 stands only 65mm tall (the same height as low-profile expansion cards), which makes it ideal for use in compact HTPCs or Small Form Factor cases that offer limited clearance for CPU coolers.
With its compact 95x95mm footprint, the NH-L9x65 does not overhang the RAM slots on Intel LGA1851/LGA1700/ LGA1200/LGA115x and AMD AM5/AM4 based motherboards, which ensures easy access to the modules and 100% compatibility with DIMMs that feature tall heat-spreaders or RGB lighting.
Many mini-ITX motherboards have the PCIe slot sitting close to the socket zone. While larger coolers that exceed this zone are likely to block the PCIe slot, the 95x95mm sized NH-L9x65 provides full compatibility with PCIe cards, be it on ATX, microATX or ITX.
Noctuas much-acclaimed NT-H1 is a pro-grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability. Chosen again and again by overclockers and enthusiast users worldwide, it has established itself as a benchmark for premium-quality thermal compounds.
The NH-L9x65 is a highly compact, quiet low-profile cooler designed for use in Small Form Factor cases and mini-ITX environments. While it provides first-rate performance in its class, it is not suitable for overclocking and/or CPUs that create high heat loads.
