Overview

The top-quality silent fan in "full black" version


The NH-U9S chromax .black is an all-black version of Noctua's NH-U9S silent cooler. With the same compact 92mm radiator design and NF-A9 PWM fan, it stays true to the successful NH-U9S formula that combines high cooling performance with excellent operating silence and outstanding compatibility with your RAM sticks. At the same time, this chromax.black version, with its black fan and black heatsink, combines all the benefits of the NF-A9 with an elegant stealth look. Complete with the renowned SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system, the high-quality NT-H1 thermal compound designed by Noctua and a comprehensive 6-year manufacturer's warranty, the NH-U9S chromax.black is a premium choice for anyone looking for a compact, highly compatible 92mm heatsink with a truly exceptional design.

Highlights :
  • An award-winning cooler: Tens of thousands of enthusiast users worldwide swear by the quality and performance of the NH-U9S. Recommended by over 100 international hardware websites and magazines, it is recognised as one of the best 92mm coolers on the market.
  • chromax.black design: The NH-U9S chromax.black is black from head to toe: Featuring a black-coated heatsink, a black fan with black anti-vibration pads, black fan clips and black mounting hardware, it is at home in all-black constructions and easy to integrate with other colour schemes.
  • 100% RAM compatibility: With its 95x95mm footprint, the NH-U9S does not overhang the RAM slots on current Intel motherboards and most AMD motherboards. This gives the user full access to memory modules and guarantees 100% compatibility with large RGB modules, large heatsinks or optional memory fans.
  • 100% compatibility with PCIe cards on mini-ITX: Many mini-ITX motherboards have the PCIe slot close to the socket area. While larger coolers that extend beyond this area are likely to block the PCIe slot, the 95x95xmm NH-U9S offers full compatibility with PCIe cards, whether on ATX, microATX or ITX.
  • NF-A9 premium fan: The highly optimised features of Noctua's exclusive AAO framework and sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as deThis further improves the renowned efficiency of Noctua's previous 92mm models and contributes to the superior cooling performance of the NH-U9S.
  • Ready for two fans: The NH-U9S chromax.black includes an additional set of fan mounting clips for users who wish to achieve even better cooling performance by adding an optional second NF-A9 PWM chromax.black.swap fan to create a push/pull configuration.
  • Soldered interface between heatpipes and fins: With many heat sinks, the fins are pressure-fitted to the heat pipes. Due to the different coefficients of thermal expansion of copper and aluminium, this fit can loosen over years of thermal cycling, which can lead to a reduction in performance. In contrast, the fins of the NH-U9S are soldered to the heat pipes to ensure a superior thermal interface that does not deteriorate even after many years of use.
