The Noctua NH-L9a is an excellent performer, considering it's size. Being this small, it was always going to be a challenge for it to keep our hot 89W test CPU under control, but the NH-L9a did manage to achieve this – your chassis ambient temperature wou...

Abstract: HTPC use is on the rise and, at the same time, cases for them are getting smaller and slimming down. This is great for fitting your build into your entertainment center….not so great for finding components that fit. I recently did a build of my own and ha...
Continuing on with the analogy of bikes, if the Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black is like a full-size bicycle, then our NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.black is more akin to a tricycle. Its smaller footprint and shorter height make it quite compact when compared to most co...
Excelente rendimiento para sus dimensiones, Sonoridad muy baja incluso a máximas revoluciones, Tan solo mide 37 mm de altura, Incluye jeringuilla de pasta térmica NTH1 de muy alta calidad, Compatible con memoria RAM de cualquier altura
Solo es compatible con procesadores AM5 con 65W de TDP
Concluimos la review del Noctua NH-L9a-AM5 destacando la excelente relación rendimiento/altura de este disipador. Si buscamos reducir la altura del mismo al máximo, hay pocas alternativas en el mercado para procesadores AM5, y menos con las prestaciones d...
