Overview

The compact PC CPU fan in "full black" version

TheNH-L9i chromax black is the "full black" version of the popular Noctua NH-L9i ultra-compact CPU fan for HTPCs and SFFs (Small Form Factor). With the same proven design and NF-A9x14 PWM fan, this model maintains the NH-L9i's level of excellence by combining a height of only 37 mm, a very good level of performance and silence as well as full compatibility with memory and PCIe slots. The chromax.black version offers an elegant and sober look thanks to the black radiator cover and the black fan. Supplied with the popular SecuFirm2 compact multi-socket mounting system for LGA115x, Noctua NT-H1 thermal paste and backed by a full 6-year manufacturer's warranty, the NH-L9i chromax black is the perfect premium choice for those looking for an ultra-compact cooler that looks as good as it works.

Low profile

With a slim 23mm heatsink combined with the NF-A9x14 low-profile fan that is only 14mm thick, the NF-A9x14 offers a total 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.

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.

Full compatibility with VGA cards on mini-ITX

While larger fans extend beyond the normal area and prevent PCIe use, the NH-L9i's footprint (95x95mm) ensures full PCIe card compatibility.

Low noise adapter


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

Exclusive SecuFirm2 mounting system for LGA115x

The NH-L9i comes with a custom SecuFirm2 system for LGA115x without a backplate. This feature further improves compatibility with mini-ITX motherboards and makes installation easier than ever.

    Ideal for silencing a well-ventilated MiniITX

    Chosen according to the constraints of the Covid 19, I would have been satisfied with the original alu/maroon version but the minimum delivery basket of 75 € made me lean towards this useless black version on my ITX PC based on Cooler Master Elite 110 (no bay window ...) . My Core i3 2100 is well cooled and silently (with the reducer included in the product bundle) at 1100 rpm against 1400 on Stock Intel
