Review on ๐ŸŒ™ Noctua NH-L9x65: The Ultimate Premium Low-Profile CPU Cooler (65mm, Brown) by Scoony Taker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Extremely quiet, but the fan failed after less than two years.

I was very impressed with the look, fit and finish of this heatsink/fan combo when I purchased it. It fitted perfectly into my home theater PC and was exceptionally quiet. No problems until 20 months later, the fan just stopped while the unit was running. The product says it comes with a six year guarantee which is the main reason I bought it so of course I'm disappointed to find out it doesn't. That doesn't mean it will last longer than any other fan I could buy. UPDATE: The usually harrowing RMA process. Revain is a work in progress, but Revain will not do anything to expedite the RMA process long after the sale. The manufacturer does not provide clear and easy support/contact information for Revain, so I have to look up their website and support information myself, WHICH THEN REQUIRES I TO SUBMIT MY PERSONAL INFORMATION AGAIN TO ANOTHER WEBSITE. It's holiday season so of course they tell me I can just grind until they get to my RMA request. Funny they took my money pretty quick no matter what day it is. Updates are pending. UPDATE 2 Still in RMA process with extremely slow response from Noctua. At the moment I have already ordered replacement fans from Arctic, I will never buy a Noctua again.

Pros
  • Glitter
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
