Premium Low-Profile CPU Cooler (65mm, Black) for Noctua NH-L9x65

The NH-L9x65 chromax.black is an all-black version of the award-winning NH-L9x65 low-profile cooler, designed to bridge the gap between the larger NH-L12 series and the ultra-compact NH-L9i and NH-L9a series. With a height of 65mm, four heatpipes, and a highly optimised NF-A9x14 premium fan, this cooler offers more power than its smaller siblings while retaining the compact 95x95mm footprint of the NH-L9i.

The compact design of the NH-L9x65 ensures 100% RAM and PCIe compatibility on current motherboards, making it ideal for use in compact HTPCs or Small Form Factor cases with limited clearance for CPU coolers. The cooler's small size also allows for easy access to near-socket connectors, simplifying assembly and maintenance.

Noctua's renowned NT-H1 thermal compound and the professional SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system for Intel and AMD further enhance the NH-L9x65's performance and ease of use. The included Low-Noise Adaptor enables fully automatic speed control via PWM, ensuring the cooler runs remarkably quiet.

Measuring only 65mm in height (the same as low-profile expansion cards), the NH-L9x65 is perfectly suited for use in compact environments. Its 95x95mm footprint ensures 100% compatibility with RAM and PCIe cards on mini-ITX motherboards, where larger coolers might block these components.

The NT-H1 thermal compound provided with the NH-L9x65 is a pro-grade solution that offers minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease of use, and outstanding reliability. It has become a benchmark for premium-quality thermal compounds among overclockers and enthusiast users worldwide.

The NH-L9x65 chromax.black is designed to be fully black, from the coated heatsink to the black fan, anti-vibration pads, fan clips, and mounting parts. This makes it seamlessly blend in with all-black builds and easy to integrate with other colour schemes.

Please note that while the NH-L9x65 provides excellent performance in its class, it is not suitable for overclocking or CPUs that generate high heat loads. It is recommended for use with Intel 14900K, 14700K, 14600K, or AMD Ryzen 7950X3D, 7900X3D, 7800X3D, 7700, and similar processors with low to moderate heat dissipation.

In summary, the NH-L9x65 chromax.black is a compact, quiet, and versatile low-profile cooler that offers a compelling balance of performance, compatibility, and aesthetics, making it an excellent choice for HTPC, ITX, and SFF builds.
