Review on πŸŽ›οΈ Noctua NH-L9x65 SE-AM4, High-Quality Low-Profile CPU Cooler with 92mm Fan for AMD AM4 (Brown) by John Vann

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ryzen 5 5600x hardly cools

It should have been good for 65W TDP processors, so I got it for the new Ryzen 5 5600x. However, it fails to keep the CPU cool when overclocked to 4.6GHz auto-turbo mode. Temperatures are reaching the 90C limit. I need to turn off auto gain and only run on the 3.7GHz base frequency. A few months after I received it, Noctua finally added this processor to its compatibility list citing very limited acceleration, but it was too late for me.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Defects present
