🖥️ Noctua NH-L9i chromax.Black - High-Performance, Low-Profile CPU Cooler for Intel LGA115x (Black) Review

I'm sure it's a great cooler for Intel and AMD, but the mounting screws and bracket are the problem. For some reason this cooler was coated when the bracket and screw were already installed so the coating acted like an adhesive making the screws very difficult to remove. ATTENTION AMD USERS. I used a screwdriver and almost broke the screw. Luckily I had a hammer drill and it easily loosened the screws. If you don't have a hammer drill I would recommend an uncoated cooler or a screwdriver with a

DO NOT BUY FOR AM4 (AMD) Addicted to this and the AM4 mounting kit, have not read other reviews as an Intel user and have now fallen victim to a downright horrible one Technology. The worst and most useless product I have ever bought for a computer in my geek life. I am 25 years old and I have never experienced anything so bad and disappointing. The mounting screws cannot be easily removed and require special tools (besides good quality screwdrivers). They are pulled into holes and can easily…

I wanted to build a little minimalist and decided to buy this cooler because of its color and size. I hooked it up to an i7-10700 processor on a Z490 ITX board. Very easy to install. I did the following steps Step 1: Apply thermal paste to the CPU Step 2: Turn the cooler upside down and place it on a flat surface Step 3: Turn the mainboard upside down and align it with the cooler Step 4: Screw in the cooler while playing COD MW. The fan is quiet for small tasks. The fan will be louder during…

All day I've been trying to remove the Intel bar to replace it with AM4, even my hands hurt from it, I had to apply force to the screwdriver. I tried so hard that the screws are now completely stripped and almost impossible to get out. Now my entire Itx assembly is stuck with those screws never coming out. I tried to contact Noctua but still haven't received a refund. Edit: After posting this I contacted them and they sent another one with the mount installed, without asking anything or even…

This is a nice cool box, I bought this to put in my Inwin Chopin suitcase to keep Chopin's 'all black' theme. The weight of this thing, it's 5 stars all day, performance wise, $50 will buy you a much more powerful cooler than this, everywhere you look, but they're not only going to be 39mm, and they don't look I like these for a CPU of around 65W or less, which is more in applications with constant use like gaming, and you can run warmer than you'd like. I also have a regular (non-tinted)…

Excellent cpu cooler for intel as it is l9i not l9a-am4. AMD like many others here because they clearly state that this is not a good solution for AMD as the specific AMD NH-L9A is bigger and comes with the right mounting system. but in view of this sead i bought both l9i and l9a croma. I have successfully replaced the mounting kits for both with minimal effort without removing the screw as I currently have enough experience to use a properly sized Philip head to prevent slipping and detaching…
