Keep your CPU running cool with the NH-L9i Low-Profile CPU Cooler from Noctua. This air cooler sits just 1.46″, or 37mm, high and is intended for use in HTPC and small form-factor cases. Featuring a nickel-plated copper heatsink and pipes, this CPU cooler also sports an NF-A9x14 PWM low-profile fan with speeds of 600 to 2500 rpm and a noise level of 23.6 dBA. An included low-noise adapter can bring the fan’s max speed down to 1800 rpm, while volume also drops to 14.8 dBA. The Noctua NH-L9i Low-Profile CPU Cooler is compatible with Intel LGA 1200, 1156, 1155, 1151, and 1150 sockets. It also fits AMD AM4 sockets using the NM-AM4-L9aL9i mounting kit, available separately.
Please note: the NH-L9i is not suitable for overclocking applications or use with CPUs that generate high heat loads.

This thing is quite beautiful and classy looking. It also is known to perform very well. There is 1 huge flaw and that is an oversimplified mounting system. The engineering and research that went into the mounting system is 0. They we’re very lazy with it and it’s nearly impossible to mount properly. I would recommend the Be Quiet Shadow Rock over this but be careful because it actually sits up high in an AMD system.

I have a bunch of their fans and coolers. The CPU fans saved me from getting a nervous system disorder when using the crummy stock Intel whining fans. They’re expensive, but you really get what you pay for and they’ll probably last forever. I wouldn’t buy any other brand.
