Product Description

The NH-L9i is a premium quality quiet CPU cooler for Intel LGA115x based HTPCs and Small Form Factor systems. At a super-low profile of only 37mm, the NH-L9i is ideal for extremely slim cases and due to its 95x95mm footprint, it provides full compatibility with tall RAM modules and VGA cards on mini-ITX mainboards. The custom designed SecuFirm2 mounting system for LGA115x makes installation a child’s play and thanks to the highly optimised NF-A9x14 premium fan that supports fully automatic speed control via PWM, the NH-L9i runs remarkably quiet. Topped off with Noctua’s renowned NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-L9i fuses everything users have come to expect from Noctua’s larger coolers into a super-compact package for slim HTPC systems.


37mm low profile Due to the slim 23mm heatsink and the NF-A9x14 low profile fan that measures only 14mm in thickness, the NH-L9 stands a mere 37mm tall, which makes it ideal for use in compact HTPCs or Small Form Factor cases that offer minimum clearance for CPU coolers.	100% RAM compatibility The NH-L9i has a 95x95mm footprint that complies exactly with the Intel LGA115x socket keep-out zone. This means that it won't cause issues with chipset coolers and doesn't overhang the RAM slots, so it's fully compatible with tall memory modules.	100% compatibility with PCIe cards on mini-ITX Most Intel LGA115x based mini-ITX motherboards have the PCIe slot sitting right next to the 95x95mm socket zone. While larger coolers that exceed this zone are likely to block the PCIe slot, the 95x95xmm sized NH-L9i provides full compatibility with PCIe cards.	NF-A9x14 PWM premium fan The highly optimised NF-A9x14 premium fan features Noctua's proprietary AAO frame as well as sophisticated aerodynamic design measures. Supporting PWM for fully automatic speed control, the NF-A9x14 allows the NH-L9i to stay remarkably quiet.

Awesome for ITX builds

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2016

Verified Purchase

Pros:

• Doesn't touch my RAM
• The heatsink looks very premium
• Works with my Intel Core i5 3570K
• Comes with a nice little case badge
• The heatsink has an amazing build quality
• I get better results with the included NT-H1 thermal paste than with Arctic Silver 5

Cons:

• The NF-A9x14 fan died on me and Noctua had to send me a replacement
• The mounting solution is kind of annoying since you have to remove the whole motherboard in order to get to the screws at the bottom of the motherboard

Perfect For It's Intended Use

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

When using this thing for the appropriate CPU and reasons (i.e. non-overlocked CPU's under 65W TDP, intended for low noise, provide better cooling than OEM coolers, etc.), this thing is perfect. I have no doubt this thing would keep an i3 and probably an i5 super cool without even breaking a sweat. i7's and anything ending in a "k" is another story.

I attempted to use this with an i7-7700k (not overclocked). The manufacturer's website makes it pretty clear that this thing is intended for CPU's with a TDP of 65W or lower, and the i7-7700k has a TDP of 95W. This did not keep my CPU cool, and the CPU ended up thermal throttling with any sort of stress test in less than a minute.

Reasons I'd suggest this cooler:
- Low-profile builds
- If your intent is to reduce noise levels
- Provide better cooling than the stock Intel cooler that comes with most CPU's
- If you have the Noctua pooh-brown color theme going on with your components

Excited when ordered - Disappointed after installation

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2019

Verified Purchase

I built a mini ITX system in an In Win Chopin case (which is very nice for this purpose). I was using the Stock intel fan for an i5 8400 CPU and was getting idle temps at about 34C. I read all of the great reviews about the Noctua NH-L9i and upon opening the box, I can see the quality and attention to detail. I installed it and was getting 36/37C idle temps. I thought, that can't be right, maybe I didn't install it correctly? So after 3 attempts at installing this with the Noctua Thermal compound, I am still getting 36/37C idle temperature. Now, the one thing I will say is. It is near Silent, except when I Ran Cinebench CPU test. Then the temps went up to 77C hitting 80C at one point. The temps come down quickly after the test, so I guess that is good too. I am disappointed. I was hoping to reduce my idle temps by a couple/few degrees and reduce the load temps too. I hope this helps someone. I really did want to like this. I may end up keeping it if I can't find a better cooler in the next day or two. If I do keep it is is because of how quiet it is and it is about as good as the stock collar from a temp perspective.

Okay

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2018

Verified Purchase

I replaced my stock Intel fan for i7-8700 with NH-L9i. This is my first Noctua product, and I like it.

Even though I had to open my other side panel to replace the fan, it was not that hard. Also, since this fan is low-profile, I still have a lot of room. The package contains its own thermal paste and they are pretty good.

I have no problem with its noise level and I did not use low-noise adapter.

The performance wise, however, not perfect. On idle, it keeps all 6 cores below 30 C and my lowest is 24. But when I use Adobe Premier Pro or After Effect, especially during the rendering, it goes up to 90 C which might cause some issues. General gaming, it keeps between 50~55 C.

I think this is okay fan without any heavy work. I also purchased a 120mm case fan from Noctua, because I think they are reliable.

Comparison vs a Cryorig C7 in SFF

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

If you're coming from a Cryorig C7 or even considering it in a super ultra tiny PC build: PICK THE NOCTUA!!

I recently built my Dr Zaber Sentry, a 7L micro gaming PC build. It houses up to 47mm CPU fans, and the Cryorig was rated for a higher TDP, and I had an i7, so I bought the Cryorig. Turns out the Cryorig is loud, like really really loud, spinning up very very audibly under any load. Admittedly, I wanted to keep the Sentry on my desk, which might be abnormal, but I spent $200 Indiegogo'ing a case because I like how it looks on my desk; what can I say. It was audible over low-volume headphone game audio, even. So I tried this out as well as delidding my processor, and the difference is significant. I can't say clearly how much was the delidding and how much was the Noctua, but I will say this: manually adjusting fan speed to 100%, the Noctua sounds about 25% quieter, but the big deal here is the optional in-line resistor.

In building a super-small case, you discover that your BIOS wants to keep your system at temperatures designed around a big open airy case. This just isn't feasible for a case like the Sentry, so I wanted there to be a way to say "hey, the Kaby Lakes run super hot anyway, and my case is small; chill about the temperatures". Connecting the included "quiet mode adapter" essentially does just this, by lowering all voltages running to the fan.

This is a great product and is very silent under normal conditions. It's also worth mentioning that the fan is interchangeable for up to a full height fan, whereas the Cryorig's is not.

A fantastic S4 Mini compatible cooler

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2016

Verified Purchase

Fantastic, luxurious, silent, and icy cool. I test dozens of coolers under 40mm for my system integration gigs and custom SFF system, like the NFC-Systems S4 Mini. This is the best bi-directional cooler under 45mm that I have seen by a far margin. It is expensive, but worth it. The fan is very quiet and I am glad because many of my systems are built for small radio and television studios and are unisolated.

This works beautifully in the NFC-Systems S4 Mini and I highly recommend it.

This is the real deal. Struggled to pay such a premium, but it was worth it.

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2018

Max temps down 10 degrees average. And despite this, the loudness of the CPU fan is dramatically reduced, almost inaudible now, vs stock cooling, which was previously the loudest fan of all in my case + my 4 HDD hard drive bay sitting next to it. I'm using this with an i7-8700 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor in a Cooler Master - Elite 130 Mini ITX Tower Case. This setup sits on my desk, and I have a projector in the same room for the occasional movie (streamed using Plex from the same PC), and so my PC needs to be quiet.

Photos included. Check the Max. tump column in the middle for before n after.

Can't believe it's silent and cooler at the same time!

I built an i3-3220 based gaming ITX PC using one of these in 2013. I later upgraded it to an i5-3570 around 2016. It sits about 2cm away from the side of a full ATX power supply, in the most cramped case in existence - the Lian Li Tu-200B. I dread taking it apart because it's like open heart surgery. I use it for gaming several days a week, and have done for all 5 of those years.

In all that time, it has never gotten audible, and temperatures have never gotten above 65. I, personally, find that unbelievable. I was advised not to even try i5 ITX gaming in this case without a closed-loop watercooler for the CPU. And yet - here we are. Zero problems.

Oh, a side note about Noctua's warranty: it's amazing. I did have an unrelated issue in 2014 with the fan bearings getting noisy. They immediately, with no quibbles, sent a replacement in the post. The replacement turned out to have the same fault; I emailed them again, and they replaced it again. No issues since, so I think I was just unlucky, but what a great company for service.

Shocked at how amazing this is

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

This cooler is just absolutely brilliant, for this review i'm going to structure it abit more than my usual reviews, but i’ll starts from the box, all the way to the product/performance

Box/Unboxing: The box and unboxing experience is very premium, you get some high performance thermal paste to the right, a low noise adaptor on the left, a very very nice metal piece to stick on your case above the cooler, then the cooler itself in the middle with the four mounting screws below that.

Thermal Paste: I didn’t use this as i’ve got some other stuff so unfortunately i can’t comment on it, but i looked it up and apparently it's actually pretty good compared to some mainstream pastes like the Arctic MX-4

Low Noise Adaptor: Again, i don't use this, but, i can without a doubt say this is not needed at all. Don’t understand why they include this as the fan is by far the quietest fan i’ve ever seen (Or heard haha) im my life, but they do include performance metrics on the box for how the cooler performs with and without the adaptor, but honestly as i said, it's really not needed as the fan is already silent without

Metal Peice: Not much to say about this, it's like a said really premium, unlike all other companies that just include a crappy sticker, this is actually a piece of metal with some 3m tape included already on the back, all you have to do is peel it and stick it.

Cooler/Fan: Very nice fan, cannot put into words how quiet the fan is, i’ve used a lot of fans in my time being on pc and i’ve never heard one as quiet in my life, at 1200rpm you cannot hear it, over fans i’ve tried at that speed sound like jet engines.
As for the cooler, it is also very nice and does a good job keeping my CPU cool, nice and low profile and fits perfectly in the Fractal Node 202.

Mounting: The mounting process is really easy and simple and what i like best is that there is no backplate, never used a cpu cooler before that doesn’t have a backplate and i must say it's a luxury to have

Performance: As i’ve already said the fan is nice and quiet so i won’t talk about that anymore, so i will now move on to my temperatures.

So i have this is the Fractal Node 202 which is a very small form factor case and the cpu fan is the only source of cooling the CPU gets , which by the way is the Intel Pentium G4600 so take those into account, also for thermal paste i'm using Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut and with all these factors in mind i get 30c at idle and at full load i get 60c, not even kidding i’ve never gone past 60c on this CPU which is insane for the setup i have.

Overall: It's just a great cooler by a great company, it's very well thought out and you may think £36 is a lot for a CPU cooler but you get a lot included and as i said it's all very premium so when you take all that into account its actually a bargain! 10/10 Highly Recommended!

No words to describe the silence and the cooling capabilities of this tiny thing.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

What can i say - it is simply amazing. It cools my 65W Intel 8500 i5 in a MiniITX case practically inaudible when it is under 100% load (3.9GH on all 6 cores) - and the temps were under 60%...
When I opened the box - I was wondering what that cable adaptor in it was, I then read that it enables the ''silent'' mode for the cooler. Well - I attached it and set it to ''silent'' in the BIOS. And - I could not hear anything from it in a mini ITX case with a big opened mesh two feet from my head. At first I thought that the fan was not spinning at all - so I put my ear right on the mesh - then I could hear a slight noise and I realised that it works on very low revs. I then decided to test it under load - assuming that it won't be able to cool the CPU with this low revs..started Cinebench and opened a temp monitor programme..well - the noise did not raise a bit - and the temps were under 60%...amazing! Even put on the other, higher REV's setting - the noise it produces is pretty nice and in the low-pitched range, so - even if it is close to you it does not disturb. Most likely it will be much quieter that your power supply fan.
I have used laptops with monitors attached to them as my desk machines in the last years, so I became pretty intolerable to computer fan noises, but I can live with this fan any day.

I bought this to replace the stock Intel cooler for my FreeNAS build. It's only an i3-2100 so not exactly taxing, but the stock cooler was noisier than I'd like.

I didn't need the extremely small size - it's currently occupying a Define 7 case - but I went with the low profile one in case I decide to repurpose it down the line in a small form factor or a smaller rack mount server type case.

It's very quiet, which I have come to expect from Noctua, and feels very well built. Temperatures on my NAS are excellent, with peak temps at about 40 C if the system is under load (Plex transcoding usually) and around 30 C when the system is light/idle.

The Rolls Royce of CPU fans!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 28, 2018

Price and quality wise, it seems like overkill, like putting Rolls Royce parts into a Ford Escort. But if you don't want noise, and/or you want to fit your computer into a small enclosure, it's worth it in the end.

I also fitted a little piezo speaker in my mini-itx build. Just to get a tiny beep to confirm the computer has been started.

The lack of the background noise is eerie, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Love Is Colourblind

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

If purchasing purely for aesthetic reasons, Noctua would be an easy brand to overlook.

Beige and brown, possibly two of the most mundane colours, are Noctua's signature. If you've seen them and thought 'How can a beige and brown fan be a performance part?' you'd be wrong.

Maybe Noctua have a sense of humour, and thought it might be similar to painting a Bugatti Veyron a lovely shade of Magnolia to make it more of a sleeper.

Whatever they were thinking when it came to colour, they certainly know what they're doing in terms of performance.

For a compact fan, this makes a meaningful improvement on anything that AMD or Intel offer for free, and it performs way above what would be expected from it's diminutive size. You may find that you can push your system a little more than you thought, or at least use it to it's full, non-overclocked potential.

Overall this cooler, as with all Noctua products, is very well made; very well packaged; and is built to perform.

Noctua should be at the top of your list if you're looking for air-cooling solutions that consistently deliver.

Low Profile Cooler to Allow CPU 2U Rackmount Case Fit

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 22, 2016

Verified Purchase

If space above your CPU is at a premium, this is the cooler to go for. To replace the stock cooler, I've fitted this cooler onto a Intel Core i3 6100 Skylake Dual-Core 3.7 GHz Processor on a Asus B150M-PLUS D3 Motherboard (Socket 1151) without any problems, to fit both comfortably into a X-Case D214, 2U Rackmount PC Case. When idle, the core temperature runs at about 38 degrees C and is really quiet.

The box contains everything you'll need to replace another cooler, such as heatsink compound and fan adapter cables.

Everything about this is class. I’ve used Noctua before so was the obvious choice when I wanted an aftermarket cooler. Everything in the box is high quality. The cooler is compact and installs in seconds. There’s an included adaptor to lower the noise but it’s not needed as the fan is basically silent. Pretty much perfect.

I've had other fans last longer including other Noctua fans - but I think £15 for 3 years constant (and I really mean constant) service is good enough for a good rating.

Excellent low profile cooler

Brilliant cooler but not compatible with all lga1151 socket boards it needs a reasonable amount of space around the socket to install I had a asrock z270 matx pro4 board and the capacitors near the socket stopped installation. Check the noctua website for compatibility before buying. If it fits buy it

NH-L9i is Easy to use!

I usually dread putting on the CPU cooler, but the NH-L9i is by far the easiest CPU cooler I've ever installed. No messing about with a backplate, just place the cooler on to the CPU paste and screw in four thumbscrews.

I looked at the reviews before I bought saying it's quiet but was not sure if the reports were correct. I can confirm that it is genuinely extremely quiet. Very hard to hear while in Windows 10. Highly recommended.

Wasn't anticipating everything being so nicely packaged, clearly a quality product

First Time Noctua buyer. Was really impressed from first opening the box. Wasn't anticipating everything being so nicely packaged, clearly a quality product. Took 5 minutes to install and has made a world of difference over the stock i5 cooler that I had. Silent and more efficient. Very impressed all round. Am now a Noctua convert.

My hard drive is louder than this fan.

If you need a fan/heatsink just buy this one, noctua fans are very quiet and if it breaks, which it wont for awhile you can just replace the fan no problem. Not sure about over clocking purposes but its keeping my i5 nice and chill, installation is a breeze and it makes you feel very special when you open it up. totally worth the price considering you wont need to pay out for something again for a few years.

Performs way better than I could have thought

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

I was looking to replace my larger cooler for something more subtle and I was so surprised by how good this was. So easy to install and it is so nearly silent, even under a heavy load.

It looks great and my temperatures peak at around 70 using my i7.

Would definitely recommend, and it even comes with a hand signed letter from the CEO!
