Review on Noctua NH-D9L: High-Performance CPU Cooler with NF-A9 92mm Fan (Brown) by Ryan Morrow

Replaced the smaller Noctua unit I was using on my i7-7700K 91W. The smaller one ran up to 100°C and thermally throttled under full continuous load without overclocking, worked in normal use and still great for gaming. Now it hardly reaches 80°C under full continuous load without overclocking in an ITX case. The only thing is that it comes with extra brackets for another 92mm fan, but it's only compatible with thicker fans, not the thinner 92mm fan I had on another CPU cooler, which I wanted to use together with the one included in the kit. Noctua continues to make excellent air-cooled products, comes with top 3 CPU paste and all the metal tools and hardware needed for installation. This is the third Noctua cooler I've owned and they always live up to their reputation. However, I would suggest that before you decide on a CPU cooler, you go to the Noctua website and read their TDP guide to choose exactly what you need. Helped me find the right cooler for my CPU that fits my space requirements.
