Review on Noctua NH-L9i, High-Performance Low-Profile CPU Cooler for Intel LGA115x (Brown) by Chris Knight

Maximum average temperature drop of 10 degrees. And yet the volume of the CPU fan is drastically reduced, now almost inaudible, compared to the stock cooling, which used to be the loudest of all fans in my case + my adjacent 4 hard drive bay. I'm running this with a 3.2GHz 6-core i7-8700 in a Cooler Master - Elite 130 Mini ITX Tower. This setup is on my desk and I have a projector in the same room to occasionally watch movies (streaming with Plex from the same PC) so my computer needs to be quiet. photos included. Check maximum. Shake the column in the middle before and after. I can't believe it's quieter and cooler at the same time!
