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

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 screwing in the screws on the opposite side was a bit confusing for me. After installation, the temperature was below 50 for about 40 s., which is not very good, but within acceptable limits. Setting the power to sleep mode brought the temperature down to 30-40s, which is a good range if you want to extend the life of your processor and reduce static electricity. *** Pros *** • Extremely small and compact • Quiet • Unmatched lifespan, estimated lifespan of 150,000 hours *** Cons *** • A little pricey for the price but nothing like it at the moment • Provides adequate cooling only during normal operation. I wouldn't dream of overclocking with it
