Reviews
The NH-L9x65 is a taller, performance-enhanced version of Noctua’s award-winning NH-L9 low-profile coolers. With 65 instead of 37mm height and four instead of two heatpipes, the NH-L9x65 is more powerful than its smaller siblings yet retains their 95x95mm footprint, which guarantees 100% RAM and PCIe compatibility on Intel based ITX mainboards and makes the cooler more convenient to work with as it doesn’t 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, 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.
Caution:
The NH-L9x65 is a highly compact, quiet low-profile cooler designed for use in small form factor cases and HTPC environments.

Pros: - Low profile - Quiet - Less RPM with better cooling than stock fan - Affordable
Cons: None
Overall Review: I'm using this fan with the i3-6100 Skylake and an ASRock Z170M-ITX/ac motherboard. To begin, this fan does fit this ASRock motherboard, but barely. Though the fan is not forcefully pressing on the RAM stick, it certainly does look like it is touching it or perhaps there is literally only thousands of an inch of space between the two. In my system, this fan cools the i3 Skylake up to 5-6 Celsius cooler with about 500-600 RPMs less than the stock fan. My results are based on ASRock's A-Tuning software that came with the motherboard. Also, the stock fan shipped with the i3-6100 Skylake is noticeably louder. Obviously, if you are gaming with this fan, RPMs will increase depending on temperature. As I am typing this review, A-Tuning tells me the CPU temp is 24C/75F and the fan is spinning at 1985 RPM. For those who are wondering if this Noctua fan will fit your mini-ITX case or other low profile/thin case, be aware that you will need at least 4 1/4-inch wide case to fit this fan. Preferably, the case should be about 4 1/2 inches and up for this fan. This fan will NOT come close to fitting in the Mini-Box M350 case, which I have. It will also NOT fit the Morex T3500 mini-ITX case, which I have. I purchased the In Win Case IW-BM639.AH160TB Black Mini-ITX case for this fan, which has sufficient room and is the smallest case that I know of that will fit this fan, which is 4.4 inches wide. This fan comes with thermal paste, which I am using. There is enough paste for a couple of tries. As far as price, you know what they say: "You get what you pay for!" Overall, I am very happy with this fan.
