Quite expensive

I was totally impressed by the short in structure Noctua NH-L9i cooler. The cooler performed way better than the stock and allowed us to maintain our taller than normal memory modules. Granted chances are if you are deciding to use a cooler like this you...

Abstract: For years Noctua has been known for their signature tan and brown theme. It made their products easy to spot and that along with their performance really helped promote their brand over the years. When every fan was black, they stuck with their signature...

Nothing worth to mention,
Noctua NH-L9i chromax.black is a unique little cooler that delivers high performance and top quality for long and quiet work. All who are searching for a small, yet well-performing cooler for an SFF or HTPC should take a look at Noctua NH-L9i. There is no...
So, that turned out a little different than we had expected! Indeed, going into our testing, we thought the Noctua NH-L9i would prevail over its brand-new competitor, the SilverStone AR11, simply due to its greater heft and higher-quality fan. In the end...
Ok, so putting a dedicated mITX low-profile CPU cooler up against a serious desktop processor is a little out of context, but we managed to squeeze the Noctua NH-L9i L-Type Low-Profile CPU cooler into this window of performance, just. What does this mean...

Noctua NH-L9i is high quality and well performing compact cooler. As I mentioned at the beginning of this review, not many similar coolers are available on the market and for sure not many can offer so high product quality. Everything looks great includin...
The Noctua NH-L9i is a quiet, high-quality sub-two-inch Mini-ITX air cooler with a price tag to match. Unfortunately, our samples didn't live up to the high expectations that Noctua has set in air cooling....

Pricey, Color scheme might be a con for some
People recognize Noctua products when they see one because of the color scheme that they use on their fans and that's what makes Noctua unique from different manufactures. Noctua has gained a lot of positive recognition in the cooling market because of th...
Abstract: Noctua's low profile NH-L9i heatsink stands 36mm tall so it will fit into the smallest of small form factor chassis. The NH-L9i is designed to cool Intel socket LGA115x (1155/1156/1150) processors only, which is a departure from the one-size-fits-all ...
