Low height of 37mm
With a slim 23mm heatsink combined with the NF-A9x14 low-profile fan that is only 14mm thick, the NF-A9x14 offers an overall height of only 37mm... making it ideal for HTPCs and SFF cases.

 |
Full RAM Compatibility
The NH-L9i occupies a space of 95x95mm, which means you won't have any space problems. Compatibility is maintained even with high memory arrays
|
 |
Full compatibility with VGA cards on mini-ITX
While larger fans extend beyond the normal area and prevent the use of PCIe, the NH-L9i's footprint(95x95mm) ensures full compatibility with PCIe cards.

NF-A9x14 PWM: a high performance fan
The NF-A9x14 fan features a highly optimised AAO frame for outstanding aerodynamic performance. With PWM support, the NF-A9x14 keeps the NH-L9i surprisingly quiet.

 |
Low Noise Adapter
By offering the ability to cap the maximum speed of the NF-A9x14(1800rpm instead of 2500rpm), the Low Noise Adapter allows for nearly inaudible configurations with CPUs having a TDP of less than 65W.

Beautiful
Very nice, very complete kit with paste and cpu4 extension. Easy to assemble as long as the motherboard can be removed. Very compact, fits very well on a micro-atx card and in a crowded desktop. Does not interfere with memory sticks. Almost silent after the Intel kit. Thanks Noctua. I hope I won't be disappointed by the longevity.
