Noctua NH-L9a-AM5, Premium Low-Profile CPU Cooler for AMD AM5 (Brown)

Put in a micro ATX case running a ryzen 5 9600. Silent and cool under heavy workloads. Noctua has been known for many many years as making the absolute top quality products and this is just like all of them: Top Quality and worth the price and piece of mind.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Been running it for several months and no issues

I am using this cooler with an AMD 7900X CPU. Performance wise, it seems to be doing an excellent job. I do not overclock so I am certain I am not stress testing the maximum cooling abilities. However, for my needs, this CPU cooler fan work quite well. It is quiet during normal operation.My only issue came during installation. It was initially unclear to me how this fan mounts since the AM5 socket had threaded inserts. The provided screws did not go into the inserts but then I noticed smaller, longer screws that fed through the threaded inserts. That allowed to me to attach the cooler perfectly.I am quite satisfied with my purchase.

It has very good temps and it’s super quite but it was a pain to install because you have to flip it over then screw it in from behind

Perfect fit, great performance. It's Noctua, it's great.

Perfect for small pc builds, built in a fractal terra case and works great

Works well in my server with a 7700x

Mounted in 2U Rack Choice case on an Asrock B650M Pro RS motherboard with AMD Ryzen 9 7900 chip. Plenty of air. Comes with thermal paste and allen key.
