💨 Noctua NH-L9a-AM4: Premium Low-Profile CPU Cooler for AMD AM4 (Brown) - Unmatched Cooling Performance for AM4 Processors Review

Ryzen 5 3600 without overclocking in a very cramped case - around 40 degrees idle and up to 85 under load with a 1050ti and room, or up to 90 with a 1070 placed close to the fan.

This size is the best Pros: The quality is top notch! No Chinese id cullings even stood nearby. Silence and reliability turntables from the kit. Has some cons: The price is generally very high, found the lowest and then too much. Dissipates 65W, maximum 85W. Alas, 100-120W stones will heat up

Its pros: + low profile + quiet + for its size allows to dissipate a lot of heat, there are very few such coolers. Cons: - hard to find AM4 version - black version at the time of purchase is not available in 2022 - there are practically no alternatives for such sizes (feature of the sff segment).

I took a regular model and repainted it with KUDO black acrylic paint from a spray can, the paint stays strong and does not peel off, it lay down exactly like from the factory. there were no paints left.

TLDR at the bottom. Got this to replace my Scythe Big Shuriken 3 with a NF-A12x15 in my Ghost S1 (without the hat) for my 3700x build (on a B450I Gaming Plus AC) due to turbulence noise. Cooling for this combo was great, not even reaching 70C with the default fan curve in most games. Temperatures are what I originally expected, about 15-20°C worse than the previous cooling solution I've used before, so I wasn't disappointed when I saw temperatures of 75-80 degrees in Destiny 2. To be honest I…

I had a Silverstone MILO Series ML03B case that I bought 6 years ago and swapped CPU/motherboard for an ASUS B450M PLUS GAMING motherboard and an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 AE exchanged the combination. I thought I was in great shape until I ran into an issue with the crossbar on the top of the case that connects the front and back. It is used to allow the components to fit onto the case. Crossbar support didn't delete the ghost cooler at 1600 so I removed it and replaced it with this one. Before…

After a week of using the stock ASRock cooler on my Ryzen 3400G in the ASRock Deskmini A300W, I got a little tired of the fairly audible fan noise, so I ordered one of these. Installation was easy enough, but a bit fiddly as you have to install parts on both sides of the motherboard at the same time and the thermal paste can slip. But I did it with minimal slippage. The processor's case temperature was around 75°C during the stress test. Other reviews have led me to believe that I should…

This fan is near silent. My HTPC with Ryzen 3 2200G is inaudible unless I put my ear to the case. This HTPC sits in my bedroom four feet from my bed and I sleep in total silence and could never hear it even when I tried. Maintains temperatures below 20s in standby mode and below 30s when watching movies on a 4K screen. I used the included low-noise adapter, which slows the RPMs down a bit, but still delivers excellent performance. No case fans or anything in my build, just this guy silently…

If you're looking for an ultra-compact case, this fan won't disappoint! In fact, it's in a class of its own in terms of size, and may be your only option if you have very little headroom. Once installed, it runs silently and offers adequate, if not trendy, cooling. My daughter was excited to build her first computer with me and wanted to try the Mac Mini because they have one at school and she thinks it looks cool. This unit was easy to install, although flipping the motherboard over and…

Now I only cool an Athlon 200ge with 35w TDP but since I overclocked it to a stable 4.1 HGZ it got much hotter very quickly. The stock cooler used to be very noisy, NOW it's just stupidly quiet, honestly it's scary how quiet it can be. My temps hover around 44-50C max when gaming or something more intense is around 60C*C aka Deff Plus and it must be purchased for SFF build. Based on its performance, I believe I can fit a 65w Ryzen 5 or even a Ryzen 7 with a tiny OC and you'll be fine. AK is…
