Featuring a high-performance NF-A9x14 92mm fan with PWM control and ultra-quiet operation at just 23.6 dB, it ensures efficient cooling without noise distractions. Its 95x95mm footprint guarantees full RAM and PCIe slot compatibility, while the included SecuFirm2 mounting system and NT-H1 thermal paste simplify installation. Trusted by professionals and backed by a 6-year warranty, the NH-L9i is the go-to choice for stylish, silent, and space-conscious PC builds. ## Description Product description The NH-L9i is a premium quality quiet CPU cooler for Intel LGA115x/1200 based HTPCs and Small Form Factor systems. At a super-low profile of only 37mm, the NH-L9i is ideal for extremely slim cases and due to its 95x95mm footprint, it provides full compatibility with tall RAM modules and VGA cards on mini-ITX mainboards. The custom designed SecuFirm2 mounting system for LGA115x/1200 makes installation a child’s play and thanks to the highly optimised NF-A9x14 premium fan that supports fully automatic speed control via PWM, the NH-L9i runs remarkably quiet. Topped off with Noctua’s renowned NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-L9i fuses everything users have come to expect from Noctua’s larger coolers into a super-compact package for slim HTPC systems. 37mm low profile Due to the slim 23mm heatsink and the NF-A9x14 low profile fan that measures only 14mm in thickness, the NH-L9 stands a mere 37mm tall, which makes it ideal for use in compact HTPCs or Small Form Factor cases that offer minimum clearance for CPU coolers. 100% RAM compatibility The NH-L9i has a 95x95mm footprint that complies exactly with the Intel LGA115x/1200 socket keep-out zone. This means that it won't cause issues with chipset coolers and doesn't overhang the RAM slots, so it's fully compatible with tall memory modules. 100% compatibility with PCIe cards on mini-ITX Most Intel LGA115x/1200 based mini-ITX motherboards have the PCIe slot sitting right next to the 95x95mm socket zone. While larger coolers that exceed this zone are likely to block the PCIe slot, the 95x95xmm sized NH-L9i provides full compatibility with PCIe cards. NF-A9x14 PWM premium fan The highly optimised NF-A9x14 premium fan features Noctua's proprietary AAO frame as well as sophisticated aerodynamic design measures. Supporting PWM for fully automatic speed control, the NF-A9x14 allows the NH-L9i to stay remarkably quiet.

While it provides first-rate performance in its class, it is not suitable for overclocking and or CPUs that create high heat loads. Review: Noctua NH-L9i CPU Cooler (LGA1200) - Awesome replacement for my stock cooler. Super quiet, much better cooling and significant performance from my CPU after overclocking temp checks. I only use/recommend Noctua cooling from this day forward. 🤘 Review: Small Package With Quiet Cooling - I was building a custom NAS, I purchased a used mini ITX mobo. The fan that came with it worked, however it was extremely loud and I had to quiet it down. From my previous experience I knew I had to replace the drive caddy fan and the CPU cooler fan with Noctua versions. I was impressed with the massive change in the sound of the NAS currently. The loudest noises now come from the hard drives! I am currently using this to cool an i7-4790 that is generally running near idle unless I am running VMs. The fans barely move and yet the temperature never goes above 30°C. Pros: -Extremely low/no noise from fans -95x95 mm size allows for small dense mobos that have extrusions near the CPU. -37mm height means you can fit it in small cases and is really useful if you are designing/building your own case -Noise conscious; the fan has rubber feet, the fan is properly balanced, the fans have aero features to help limit noise -LNA cable if you really want it to be quiet, in multiple builds I have yet to find a need for this though -Good performance, putting this cooler on decreased my CPU temps by 2 to 5 degrees compared to the cheap one that came on my used mobo Cons: -Price is higher than other options, but this is a high quality cooler -The fan does bring in air from the top, which may make some use cases finicky Overall: I would recommend this cooler if you are in need of a low profile silent solution to keeping your temperatures in check. ## Features - Ultra-compact low-profile cooler with only 37mm total height – ideal for HTPCs, ITX and Small Form Factor builds - 100% compatibility RAM- and PCIe-compatibility due to 95x95mm footprint, does not overhang the RAM or PCIe slots - Highly optimised NF-A9x14 slim 92mm fan with PWM support and Low-Noise Adaptor for automatic speed control and ultra-quiet operation - Includes high-end NT-H1 thermal paste and SecuFirm2 mounting system for easy installation on Intel LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155, LGA1156, LGA1200 - Renowned Noctua quality backed up by 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, deluxe choice for Intel Core i7, i5 or i3 with moderate heat load (e.g. 11900, 11700, 11600, 10700, see compatibility list) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009VCAJ7W | | Air Flow Capacity | 57.5 Cubic Meters Per Hour | | Best Sellers Rank | #113 in Computer CPU Cooling Fans | | Brand | Noctua | | Brand Name | Noctua | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Cooling Method | Air | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,423 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00842431014269, 04716123314875, 07967907179310 | | Included Components | Item | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 3.74"L x 3.74"W x 1.46"H | | Item Weight | 443 Grams | | Manufacturer | Noctua | | Material Type | Copper (base and heat-pipes), aluminium (cooling fins), soldered joints & nickel plating | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 2500 RPM | | Model | NH-L9i | | Noise Level | 23.6 Decibels | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | NH-L9i | | Power Connector Type | 4-Pin | | Product Dimensions | 3.74"L x 3.74"W x 1.46"H | | UPC | 842431014269 731215283291 039281014277 115970979550 739197641290 163120668250 803982961730 872182807933 807320189206 168141422058 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Warranty Description | 6 year manufacturer’s warranty | ## Product Details - **Air Flow Capacity:** 57.5 Cubic Meters Per Hour - **Brand:** Noctua - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Cooling Method:** Air - **Material:** Copper (base and heat-pipes), aluminium (cooling fins), soldered joints & nickel plating - **Maximum Rotational Speed:** 2500 RPM - **Noise Level:** 23.6 Decibels - **Power Connector Type:** 4-Pin - **Product Dimensions:** 3.74"L x 3.74"W x 1.46"H - **Voltage:** 12 Volts ## Images ![Noctua NH-L9i, Premium Low-Profile CPU Cooler for Intel LGA1200 & LGA115x (Brown) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71av9uxBMRL.jpg) ![Noctua NH-L9i, Premium Low-Profile CPU Cooler for Intel LGA1200 & LGA115x (Brown) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819Ydk+MHAL.jpg) ![Noctua NH-L9i, Premium Low-Profile CPU Cooler for Intel LGA1200 & LGA115x (Brown) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AcA2HbyML.jpg) ![Noctua NH-L9i, Premium Low-Profile CPU Cooler for Intel LGA1200 & LGA115x (Brown) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71b9uenM55L.jpg) ![Noctua NH-L9i, Premium Low-Profile CPU Cooler for Intel LGA1200 & LGA115x (Brown) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IIVRUQjeL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does anyone know if this or the full sized one is quieter? I'm not going to overclock and all I want is a near silent computer.** A: any cooler noctua makes is quiet - i had that cooler and it left me slightly under-whelmed, and i was thinking it'd be a much better cooler with 4 heatpipes, vs the two it comes with. About 2 weeks later they released the same cooler, slightly taller, with 4 heatpipes - i'd suggest going with that one, fwiw **Q: Can I use liquid metal for this cooler?** A: I wouldn't. Liquid Metal is for de-lidding and replaces the questionable TIM Intel uses between the CPU core and the lid, not between the lid and a heatsink. **Q: Will this fit in a mini-stx case such as the silverstone vt02?** A: There is no issue with the size of the cooler itself. Silverstone's VT02 is able to fit a cooler up to 46mm tall, and the NH-L9i stands at about 37mm. However, there could potentially be a compatibility issue with the motherboard as some of its components (capacitors, rear IO, etc.) could prevent the cooler from being installed properly. Some mini- and micro-STX boards are designed primarily with small circular coolers like Intel's stock solution in mind. Keep this in mind. **Q: Is this cooler compatible with 1151 socket motherboards?** A: I believe so ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Noctua NH-L9i CPU Cooler (LGA1200) *by J***A on April 19, 2026* Awesome replacement for my stock cooler.

I installed it into a "Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced - Mini-ITX". The fit to most ITX motherboards will seem snug to many people, however the Noctua works very well. People who are new to the ITX world are going to have to get accustomed to a new way of doing computer builds. The Noctua does come very close to many parts on the mobo, however, that is a choice one has no control over if one wants to install a top of the line Processor with a High End video card,high end RAM and plans on having a proper power supply run it all inside an ITX container. I was thoroughly impressed with how well the product was shipped. All the parts are separated and snugly fit into a rubber/foam material. It also comes with a tube of thermal paste (The heatsink does not have any pre-applied thermal, awesome). This allows you to do a "dry" install to make sure the fan will fit properly for your motherboard. The ease of install is 10 out of 10. YES, It requires having access to the bottom of the mobo (like a proper heatsink does). What I liked the most is that there is NO pain in the ass rear mounting plate. You simply bring the screws up from the bottom and twist them into the heatsink. The fan is quiet and can ramp up quite well when needed. I have an Intel i5-2500K rated at 95W. I constantly run Handbrake and play games, I do not have any over heating issues! -Cons: The product was delayed in its shipping. However, Amazon did refund the shipping fee and the product was in perfect condition upon arrival.
