Noctua NH-L9i Low Profile CPU Cooler Review

Here you can see the star feature of this product – the fact it is just 37mm in height. It also appears to have two heat pipes integrated into the heatsink.

The base is incredibly smooth and like a mirror. It’s a tried-and-trusted nickel plated copper base and as you can see the mounting bracket comes pre-fitted as it only supports LGA 1155 and LGA 1156.

The heatsink is incredibly dense for such a small product and because of that it actually weighs quite a lot.

From the top, which is what you’ll probably see when installing into your chassis, the aesthetics are dominated by the 92mm Noctua PWM fan. For those of you who despise the Noctua brown, my best advice is that this product is likely to be shut away in a small HTPC so it shouldn’t really matter!
