Product Description


The NH-L9i-17xx chromax.black is an all-black version of Noctua’s award-winning NH-L9i-17xx low-profile quiet CPU cooler for Intel LGA1700 and LGA1851 based HTPCs and Small Form Factor (SFF) builds. Thanks to the same proven heatsink design and NF-A9x14 PWM chromax.black fan, it stays true to the NH-L9i-17xx’s successful formula of fusing a height of only 37mm with strong performance and excellent quietness of operation, as well as 100% RAM and PCIe compatibility. At the same time, the chromax.black version with its black fan and black coated heatsink combines these assets with a sleek stealth look. Topped off with the renowned SecuFirm2 low-profile mounting system for Intel LGA1700 and LGA1851 and Noctua’s enthusiast-grade NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-L9i-17xx chromax.black is a premium choice for customers who seek an ultra-compact heatsink that looks just as great as it cools.
37mm low profile
Due to the slim 23mm heatsink and the NF-A9x14 low profile fan that measures only 14mm in thickness, the NH-L9 stands a mere 37mm tall, which makes it ideal for use in compact HTPCs or Small Form Factor cases that offer minimum clearance for CPU coolers.
100% RAM compatibility
The NH-L9i has a 95x95mm footprint that complies exactly with the Intel LGA1700/LGA1851 socket keep-out zone. This means that it won't cause issues with VRM heatsinks and doesn't overhang the RAM slots, so it's fully compatible with tall memory modules.
100% compatibility with PCIe cards on mini-ITX
Some mini-ITX motherboards have the PCIe slot sitting close to the 95x95mm socket zone. While larger coolers that exceed this zone are likely to block the PCIe slot, the 95x95mm sized NH-L9i provides full compatibility with PCIe cards.
New revision for Intel’s LGA1700 and LGA1851 sockets
Since the original NH-L9i for LGA1200 and LGA115x has received more than 200 awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines, the new 17xx revision builds on the same proven heatsink design to provide excellent low-profile cooling performance for LGA1700/LGA1851 CPUs.

Nice little cooler for a 12600k
Top reviews from Canada

- Reviewed in Canada on April 6, 2024Verified PurchaseMy room is getting warmer, not computer!
The thing effectively cools a 13700K.
It produces acceptable level of noise. Very acceptable.
It is relatively difficult to install, but after that, it is in place forever. Real metal bolts hold it, not some plastc focus-pocus.
Actually low profile.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 21, 2023Verified PurchaseThis cooler is really nice. The mounting is kinda weird tho... From the back of the motherboard. But I do understand why, they just wanted the cooling capacity to be the best. But I also recommend to have the (anti bend) bracket for lga 1700 cpus. To get more cooling performance from this cooler.

- Reviewed in Canada on March 22, 2023Verified PurchaseEasy to install, very quiet, nice design but the pros ens there. The cooler on idle load kept the 12700k at around 30 to 35 celcius, casual use around 45 to 50 celcius but as soon as you put a decent workload on the cpu e.g. gaming, editing etc it shot up to 80 to 90 celcius. Tried to remove remount etc thinking I may have installed incorrectly but not the case, ended up removing and going witg another option. Very dissapointing and surprising as my previous experiences with Noctua have been good. Stay away from this cooler unless you only use a pc for web browsing.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 16, 2022Verified Purchasehad to buy a different cooler since my cpu kept running in the 90 or 100 degrees celcius with this cooler and the fan is noisy as hell!!!
- Reviewed in Canada on April 22, 2022Verified PurchaseUsed this on a Z690, i5012600KF build. I doubt it would be efficient enough to be used for the ardent overclocker, but for me it is ideal. Low noise and responsive.
