- Model: NH-L9i CH.BK
NH-L9i Chromax.Black
The NH-L9i chromax.black
is an all-black version of Noctua’s award-winning NH-L9i low-profile
quiet CPU cooler for HTPCs and Small Form Factor (SFF) builds. Thanks to the
same proven heatsink design and NF-A9x14 PWM fan, it stays true to the NH-L9i’s
successful formula of fusing a height of only 37mm with strong performance and
excellent quietness of operation, as well as 100% RAM and PCIe compatibility.
At the same time, the chromax.black version with its black fan and black coated
heatsink combines these assets with a sleek stealth look. Topped off with the
renowned SecuFirm2™ low-profile mounting system for Intel LGA115x, Noctua’s
enthusiast-grade NT-H1 thermal
compound and a full 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, the NH-L9i chromax.black is
a premium choice for customers who seek an ultra-compact heatsink that looks
just as great as it cools.
The NH-L9i is a highly compact, quiet low-profile cooler
designed for use in small form factor cases and HTPC environments. While it
provides first-rate performance in its class, it is not suitable for
overclocking and or CPUs that create high heat loads. Please consult our CPU
compatibility list to find out whether the NH-L9i is recommended for
your CPU.
Award-winning NH-L9i cooler
Tens of thousands of enthusiast users all over the world
swear by the NH-L9i’s quality and performance. Recommended by more than 150
international hardware websites and magazines, it is renowned as being one of
the best low-profile coolers on the market.
chromax.black design
The NH-L9i chromax.black is black from head to toe:
Featuring a black coated heatsink, a black fan with black anti-vibration-pads,
black fan screws and black mounting parts, it’s right at home in all-black
builds and easy to integrate with other colour schemes.
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.
Low-Noise Adaptor
Allowing the maximum speed of the NF-A9x14 PWM fan to be
reduced from 2500 to 1800rpm, the included Low-Noise Adaptor (LNA) makes it
possible to achieve near-silent setups with suitable CPUs that only create
smaller heat loads.
Custom-designed SecuFirm2™ mounting for LGA115x/1200
The NH-L9i bundles a custom-designed, backplate-less
SecuFirm2™ mounting system for LGA115x/1200 that offers extended compatibility
with mini-ITX boards and makes installation easier than ever, all while
maintaining the trusted SecuFirm2™ quality.
Optional SecuFirm2™ mounting kit for AMD AM4
While the NH-L9i’s construction is tailored to the keep-out
zone of Intel’s LGA115x platform, it can be installed on many AMD AM4 boards
using the optional NM-AM4-L9aL9i mounting kit, which can be ordered on Noctua’s
website free of charge.
NT-H1 thermal compound
Noctua’s 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.
Soldered interface between heatpipes and fins
With many heatsinks, the fins are press-fitted to the
heatpipes. Due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of copper and
aluminium, this fit can loosen over years of thermal cycling, which may lead to
reduced performance. By contrast, the NH-L9i’s fins are soldered to the
heatpipes in order to guarantee a superior thermal interface that doesn’t
deteriorate even after many years of usage.
6-year manufacturer’s warranty
Noctua products are renowned for their impeccable quality
and outstanding longevity. Like all Noctua fans, the supplied NF-A9x14 features
an MTTF rating of more than 150.000 hours and the entire NH-L9i package comes
with a full 6-year manufacturer's warranty.
