Noctua NH-D9L, Premium CPU Cooler with NF-A9 92mm Fan (Brown) for Desktop

I just did a series of tests using these items: Date: 05/07/2024ARCTIC MX-6 $6.55TF7 Thermal Compound Paste - includedNoctua NT-H1 Thermal Computer Paste - includedThermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE Cooler $33.90Noctua NH-D9L, Premium CPU Cooler $54.95Configs and results:1. Noctua NH-D9L with Noctua NT-H1: Started here. I was getting about 35C to 38C Idle on the CPU with the fan at 950ish rpm. When I did the multi core CPU test on Cinebench 2024 the temp would jump up to the 100C throttle temp almost immediately and would bounce right at that for the duration of the 10 minute test. The fan ramped up to 2000rpm for the duration.2. Noctua NH-D9L with ARCTIC MX-6: The Artic paste dropped my idle temp down a bit to 34C to 36C. All other tests had the same results as the 1st test.3. Thermalright PA with TF7: Got a really nice drop here down to 28C to 30C idle with the fans spinning at 720 rpm. When running Cinebench it did eventually get to the 100C throttle, but it was about 5 minutes into the 10 minute test before it did. The temp was generally bouncing around 90C throughout the test. The 2 fans got up to 1550 ish rpm and were much quieter than the single Noctua fan.4. Thermalright PA with ARCTIC MX-6: The change in paste had no effect on thermals or fan speeds over the TF7.Bonus: I replaced the 2 fans that came with the Thermalright PA with 2 be quiet! Pure Wings 3 120mm Quiet PWM I ordered for a case. This had no effect on the thermals but the fan speeds are slightly slower at 700 rpm idle and 1500 rpm under Cinebench. More importantly, they run noticeably quieter. Under standard use I cannot hear them at all.Takeaway 1: For $35 the Thermalright PA is a fantastic cooler and the larger dual fans make it quieter than the Noctua NH-D9L. I do like the size of the NH-D9L but for a gaming system the Thermalright PA will be my new go to.Takeaway 2: CPU Grease makes much less of a difference than I thought. Maybe it is just the ones I tried but the reviews on the Artic MX-6 were stellar yet it barely did better than the Noctua NT-H1 that came with the cooler and didn’t do any better than the TF7 that came with the Thermalright PA. Save your money here and use it to buy better fans.CPU is an Intel i7-14700kf on a GIGABYTE Z790 Eagle AX Motherboard with an 850 watt EVGA Power Supply if you want to know.

Lo que me encanta de este disipador es que no es ruidoso comparado con otros sistemas de refrigeración por aire. En mi opinión personal el único problema que tiene es el color que no es mucho de mi agrado, pero realmente no es un gran problema estético.Cumple muy bien con su función y eso es lo que cuenta, lo demás pasa a un ínfimo segundo plano.

I bought one of these units (NH-D9L) to cool a Ryzen 3600 CPU and so far it seems great. Its at least 10C cooler than the stock HSF that came with the CPU and is nice and fairly quiet. I am pleased with the temps, size and compatibility of the HSF as it doesn't block any RAM or PCI-E slots.Also Noctua's mounting system is fantastic.. by far my favorite HSF mounting system. So easy to install/setup, and it just works. Noctua is my go to brand when it comes to using Air Cooling and with good reason! It works well, everything is well engineered.. even the packaging breaks down easily and is recyclable. They cover everything and even include an additional fan mount in case you want to add a 2nd fan.

If you're like me and are getting this to replace a stock cooler. Wow, the temps are amazing and I can turn all my fans down such that my PC is silent.
