Noctua NH-U9S: Exceptional Premium 🧱 CPU Cooler with NF-A9 92mm Fan (Brown) Review

Everything is impressive. Beautifully designed, finished and packaged; but I can't install it in any of my Dell mini towers with socket 115X because the instructions are written to suggest the wrong backplate on the motherboard. The instructions show a smaller backplate whose only function is to install the CPU bracket. THIS backplate REALLY leaves the holes you want. But THIS IS NOT the back cover used on many Dell mini towers like 9020, 7020, 790 etc. The same applies to other tower models…

I bought this CPU cooler after seeing great reviews on Noctua products and using it for 5 days. I can say it works and under normal conditions the GPU is cooled to 38C, and the CPU up to 45C at the time of writing this review.

What other fans do I need? I've been craving Chromax fans (it would be an epic build with them), but they're as rare as hen's teeth and

Although I've been building systems for several years, this was my first installation of a custom cooler. I usually use standard Intel cooling solutions, which usually work fine without overclocking. Since the i5-9600k doesn't come with a cooler, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and buy a third-party cooler. After reading many reviews I chose this Noctua solution. The main factors that influenced my decision: 1) Air cooler. 2) A fan. 3) Small profile so I don't have to worry about the…
