If you are looking for a small foot-print cpu cooler that packs a punch in thermal performance, the Noctua NH-L9i fits the bill. Discuss in the Forum...
Low Profile Cooler, Silent Operation, Large Mass Design, Better Than OEM, Perfect for HTPC
Limited heat capacity, Clearance issues with some pwm heatsinks, For additional information on the Noctua NH-L9i and NH-L9a please consult the Noctua.at website
The Noctua NH-L9i is a premium heatsink designed for systems where space is an issue and noise control is of utmost importance like a HTPC and SFF (Small Form Factor) PC. These systems often feature half height chassis designs and sometimes have the PSU d...
The Noctua NH-L9i is a very well-made, low-profile CPU cooler, with the same construction quality we are accustomed to seeing in other coolers from this manufacturer.However, there is no point in comparing the cooling performance of such a low-profile coo...

Abstract: HTPC use is on the rise and, at the same time, cases for them are getting smaller and slimming down. This is great for fitting your build into your entertainment center….not so great for finding components that fit. I recently did a build of my own and ha...
Naturally, the Noctua NH-L9i can't compare to some of the larger CPU coolers on the market. Against the Noctua NH-L12, arguably the premiere small heatsink, you can expect a hit of 15~20°C and that's with the NH-L12 in its shorter 66 mm tall, single 1...
