The short version

The NH-L9i-17xx is a 37 mm tall low-profile cooler with a 92 mm NF-A9x14 HS-PWM fan, four heatpipes and SecuFirm2 mounting, listed by Overclockers UK for LGA1700 and LGA1851. Noctua's six-year warranty and full RAM compatibility are its selling points, and the very flat design suits slim cases. Its 92 mm fan and compact heatsink trade cooling capacity for height, and no independent review of it was read for this entry.

Pros

  • Only 37 mm tall including the fan, per the Overclockers UK listing
  • Full RAM compatibility and SecuFirm2 mounting
  • NF-A9x14 HS-PWM fan rated 2,500 RPM and 23.6 dB(A), with a low-noise adapter included
  • Six-year manufacturer warranty

Cons

  • Supports only LGA1851 and LGA1700 in this listing, so AMD builders need a different model
  • A 92 mm fan and compact heatsink limit cooling capacity
  • No independent review was read for this entry

Best for

  • Slim LGA1700 and LGA1851 builds limited by case height
