## Description

Product description The NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.black is an all-black version of Noctua’s award-winning NH-L9a-AM4 low-profile quiet CPU cooler for AMD Ryzen based 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-L9a-AM4’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 AMD AM4 and Noctua’s enthusiast-grade NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.black is a premium choice for customers who seek an ultra-compact heatsink that looks just as great as it cools. 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-L9a-AM4 has a compact footprint that fully complies with the socket keep-out zones specified by AMD. This means that neither the heatsink nor the fan overhang the RAM, so the cooler provides easy access to the slots and is fully compatible with tall memory modules. 100% compatibility with PCIe cards on mini-ITX Some AMD-based mini-ITX motherboards have the PCIe slot located close to the CPU socket zone. While larger coolers that exceed this zone may block the PCIe slot, the compact-sized NH-L9a-AM4 provides full compatibility with PCIe cards. Custom-designed SecuFirm2 mounting for AM4 The NH-L9a-AM4 comes with a custom-designed SecuFirm2 mounting system for the AM4 socket of AMD’s Ryzen platform. Allowing the heatsink to be fixed from the back of the motherboard, it makes installation easier than ever, all while maintaining the trusted SecuFirm2 quality. Measurements Height (without fan): 23 mm Width (without fan): 114 mm Depth (without fan): 92 mm Height (with fan): 37 mm Width (with fan): 114 mm Depth (with fan): 92 mm Weight (without fan): 390 g Weight (with fan): 465 g Materials Copper (base and heat-pipes), aluminium (cooling fins), soldered joints & nickel plating Cooler Specifications Please Note The NH-L9a-AM4 is a highly compact, quiet low-profile cooler designed for use in small form factor cases and HTPC environments.

Review: Compact and Efficient: Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.Black Delivers Quiet Cooling Performance - I recently purchased the Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.Black Low-Profile CPU Cooler from desertcart. The delivery was speedy and on time, as expected with desertcart Prime. Upon unboxing, I found the cooler to be smaller than I initially expected, especially compared to my previous NH-D15 chromax.black. However, the packaging was excellent, with Noctua including everything needed for installation, such as thermal paste and a backplate. Installation was straightforward and easy. As an IT professional, I found no issues with the process, which involved cleaning the CPU, applying thermal paste, and screwing down the cooler with the provided components. In terms of performance, the cooler works surprisingly well. While I haven't conducted stress tests, it keeps the CPU cool during normal tasks. Initially, the cooler was a bit noisier than expected, but after installing the appropriate drivers and completing startup processes, it became much quieter. The aesthetics of the cooler are impressive. The black design fits seamlessly with the rest of my system, and the low-profile form factor helps reduce the feeling of cramped space inside the case. Overall, I believe the Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.Black is worth the money and would recommend it to others. I am very satisfied with my purchase and plan to continue using Noctua coolers in my future builds.
Review: This is why Noctua keeps earning my business. - First off, this is a fantastic cooler for lower wattage chips, perfect for my 5600x. Love the black aesthetic and cooling performance. Low noise level, quality heat sink, and modular fan if you want to swap fans. The only issue that I find with this cooler, like many others, is the mounting hardware. Not the hardest one I've had to deal with, but it could be a easier, especially if you have to reseat the cooler or swap the cpu. I took several YouTubers advice and installed it upside down. While a minor inconvenience, it still didn't deter me from giving this product 5 stars. What went above and beyond for me was the absolutely excellent presentation and packaging of the product. It shows what a quality company Noctua is and you know what you are getting is premium grade.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very low profile
*by D***C on November 2, 2023*

Used this on a mini ITX motherboard in a TINY computer case. This cooler solved all the issues. It does not interfere with full height RAM, is very compact while being very quiet and provides good cooling. It is a down draft cooler that directs air towards the motherboard, which in my circumstance, is an extra benefit because there is no other fan in the case. The CPU is a Ryzen 3 3200G processor with 4 cores. It is not being maxed out at all. The online reviews suggest that it can handle a much higher thermal load than what I’m subjecting it to.
