        Simply perfect performance/dimensions! But beware of adapters!

        Excellent performance! Exactly what you need!
        -> Used to restore a PC that was switched on for the first time in 2011! (Win7 x64 Cpu AMD Phenom II X6 1055t) confirmed this afternoon perfectly stable at 36°c on Witcher 3 in medium! This processor was known to be very temperamental when the heat was on, so this Noctua is perfect for sensitive procos! And its dimensions are perfect for resteints.
        BIG BEMOL, the adapter, precious adapter (Noctua AMB8) for socket AM3 was not in the box contrary to what is informed on their own site! But Noctua sent it to me, and it took a lot of patience, so I'm finally going to be able to clear my living room of the bulk of PC parts.
        Next purchase a more powerful compatible Gpu to test in medium/high and other to see the maximum it can still handle without overclock (old graphics card gtx 650 deceased replaced by GT730 troubleshooting) but finally it revives.
        -> It's a great buy for your new and old machines, its dimensions are really perfect when you're short of space in the case but beware they do NOT systematically send the adapters mentioned (nb I informed ldlc big up to them ^^).
        Bon geekage/retro-geekage tous! 8D

        Very good for Core i3

        Very good and more than sufficient fan heat sink for the Core i3 in a Mini Tower case for a Mini iTX motherboard.
        The parts and screws are of very good quality and can be reused if needed.

        Noctua, always up to the task.

        The product does its job, instructions and installation are easy. I like the quality of the different parts in the kit.

        In fact, it is (almost) perfect!

        Yesterday I made a derogatory comment about the mounting system of this fan. Shame on me! I had read the instructions wrong: all I had to do was remove the fan before fixing the heatsink on the socket and, above all, to accept that this fan, once put back in place (after screwing it in), would be a bit higher than its original position.
        In my defence, I was used to receiving Noctua heatsinks in parts (unmounted fans) and as on this one, the fan was already fixed, I (hastily) concluded that it should not be touched.
        Once this is said, I have to admit that the equipment is of great quality and particularly quiet.
        And now I'm off to the salt mines for a few weeks to learn to think a little before posting ill-founded recriminations.

        Fixing system to be reviewed

        Congratulations to the designers of the socket 1200 mounting system!
        Impossible to reach the fixing screws correctly because of the ventilator, which prevents a straight screwdriver from going through... straight (the one supplied by Noctua or another): the screwdriver must necessarily be inclined and, as a result, the screws cantilever out and refuse to be screwed in correctly. Never mind, says the smart guy: I'll take off the ventilator, and then I'll be able to screw straight. Good thinking, but... once the heatsink is attached, it's impossible to replace the fan unit, because the screws are now tightly screwed in, but they won't go in. And, of course, there is no indication on this subject in the manual, which only invites you to screw the screws in (well, that's something!)

        Small but strong

        Very good product, cools a 9900KF without any problems and silently.

        It has been giving me complete satisfaction for almost 2 years.

        Noctua always at the TOP!

        This VENTIRAD gives me complete satisfaction. 2 purchased. My 2 tower PCs (Intel Core I5 10400 on Intel 1200 support) are now totally silent, with a perfectly cooled CPU.
        I have never been disappointed by Noctua, although I have been using their products for several years.
        Easy to assemble, quality of packaging and accessories provided. And LDLC ships it all with care!

        Very quiet

        I replaced the Intel i3 processor fan on my desktop PC which was starting to make a bit of noise.
        This kit is relatively easy to install, you still have to take the motherboard out of the PC case.
        I'm using my pc to watch movies (so a fan noise is more than annoying).
        The temperature of the processor remains very low and the silence is very appreciable.

        silence.

        Replacing the old original intel ventirad. It's night and day, almost no noise and my cpu stays between 30 and 36°. I'm happy with my purchase. Fast delivery. Nikel LDLC

        Very good product, efficient, easy to assemble and of high quality, and above all, top performance in a more than correct silence.

        Small but very strong!

        Use: multimedia / web design and DTP / audiovisual.

        Small in size, it holds my Intel Core i9-9900K processor (3.6 GHz / 5.0 GHz) mounted on a motherboard: MSI Z390-A PRO. It does not overflow on the RAM slots. So yes, I didn't overclock the latter, which I left at 3.6 GHz. You may have to go for the higher range if you want to push it to 5.0 GHz. For more information: https://noctua.at/fr/cpu/Intel_Core_i9-9900K

        As for the assembly and the finish up to the packaging, the brand does not deviate from its reputation.

        Very satisfied

        Very good equipment.
        This is the second fridge I've owned from this brand.
        The assembly is easy, cools perfectly the processor (an i5-8400).
        The dimensions allow to keep the access to the motherboard's memory bars (an MSI Z370M-GAMING-CARBON-AC).
        I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and the service.

        very good

        I bought it for a small configuration on AMD processor, having already a noctua on my normal config but with double fan I bought it with my eyes closed, on an AMD assembly it's a child's play to put it in place even no need to dismantle the CM with the kit provided, quality level it's noctua no bad surprise it's superb quality.

        Great!!!

        Very easy to install, super ventirade it respects the mounting of the Ram, there is plenty of room to put large memory sticks.
        It comes with thermal paste, tools, flyers, very very good, as usual from Noctua.
        I mounted it on an Asus Prime Z270K with an i7 7700k, in an Antec Three Hundre 1st generation case.
        It is very quiet.

        A little expensive, but worth it

        When I bought an i7 7700K unboxed, I decided to invest in a more serious fan.
        This one seemed to do the trick as it was smaller in size than others, but efficient according to the reviews, and quiet! (main criteria).
        The result:
        - Quiet, I confirm, even very.
        - Efficient, yes = I'm at 32/33° with the i7 in base, and when I shoot on it with a demanding game like Assassin's Creed Origin in max details everywhere, I stay between 40 and 50°. Not tried prime number calculations to see (my previous i5 went up above 80° ...). I'll do that one day ...

        Removed a star because the assembly required me to break 2 small awkward fins in the grooves at the brown corners of the fan frame, in order to align it in height with the radiators. Otherwise it was sticking out, as these fins were hitting the spring-loaded fixing screws.

        Excellent ;-)

        Luxury packaging: Well protected for transport (thanks NOCTUA)!
        Easy to mount... at least on my tower because the back of the motherboard was accessible!
        The processor temperature (i7-4790 at 4.00GHz) oscillates around 30° in office use and rises to 55° with DirectX12 games in HD!
        Not very bulky (on ASUS Z97 motherboard), efficient and... silent !!!

        Effective

        Very good cooling, does not touch the RAM strips, quiet enough for the desired cooling curve.
        A little problem with the rear mounting on the motherboard. I have an AMD processor, Noctua does not supply the back plate for these, they only supply for Intel? (after contacting them thinking it was an oversight). I have to check that you already have the backplate, which was not my case (MSI motherboard) I had to order one on the web. I'm taking 1 and a half stars off for this

        Opinions Noctua NH-D9L

        Opinions Noctua NH-D9L

        Easy to install on a LGA1155. The box/bundle is very complete! Good quality product.
        The fan is quiet. At least it is quieter than the PSU :) It's maybe not the quietest, but it's honest, even in BIOS "Performance" setting
        I don't have a huge gain in temperature though.

        Otherwise, be careful with the fins, fragile, but easily straightened if needed!

        Super

        The fan was not very well suited to the needs of the market, but it did have a good reputation and it was tested on a website. Noctua has a good reputation and this fan has been tested on a site. After checking on the Noctua website the compatibility with CM and the TCP cooling level (up to 140w) I do not regret this purchase.
        With original fan 1mn treatment 66° crash.
        With original fan, 1 minute of treatment, 66°, no crashes, with replacement fan, 15 minutes of treatment, 53°, no crashes.
        Very easy to install, just be careful when installing the fan that it blows in the right direction.

        Effective

        Very efficient with its small size.
        The size of the fan means that it has to turn a little faster than its bigger brothers, so it is a little noisier.
        But it's easy to forget.
        Be careful with AMD processors, you should keep your old backplate.

        Very good

        Impressive in size but effective. Quiet, easy to install provided there is sufficient access under the motherboard to position the rear retaining plate (otherwise the motherboard has to be removed).
        When installed, the fan can be oriented in the desired direction.
        Does not encroach on the board in areas that require accessibility such as RAM...
        Not too heavy.
        Simple and concise documentation. Comes with Phillips screwdriver, and thermal paste.

        Good product.

        Noctua - Clear

        When you take the thing out of the box you think that if CA doesn't cool the proco then nothing else will. Very efficient even when overclocking, it's an excellent product that I highly recommend (ironically).

        Perfect

        It is quiet and small! It is very rare that the processor is over 40 C. Even with my old wathercooling I had a higher temperature! It allows a good air flow. And it is easy to install! Top

        Quality, efficiency and silence.

        Useful when you don't have enough space up high... easy to assemble, complete bundle, efficient. On an i5 6600 I went from 36 to 27 in idle and from 64 to 46° in extended gaming (crysis 3, total war, farcry 4, metro Last light).

        I bought a pair to cool two 2686 v3 on an ep2c612. In "classic" use, office, surf, processors at 30-35° with a room at 22-24. In 3d rendering under 3ds max and Vray, no more than 58°C ! I would recommend it to anyone!

        Presented in a solid package with a complete set of accessories and clear and concise documentation. Assembly is quick and easy. In use, the fan is barely audible and the processor does not exceed 60°C under heavy use. Perfect for a small motherboard and small case

        Very good fan, easy to install and very quiet.

        The cooling is great. The size is scary at first but no worries when installed. The package is complete and the information is perfect.

        Thermal paste supplied
