Having received over 100 awards and recommendations from international specialist websites and magazines, Noctua s compact NH-L9x65 has become a reliable choice among low-profile, 65mm tall coolers. The SE-AM4 version is a special edition specifically designed for
AMD s AM4 (Ryzen) platform and features the latest SecuFirm2™ AM4 mounting system. Also equipped with the whisper-quiet NF-A9x14 92mm fan with PWM support, Noctua s proven NT-H1 thermal component, and a 6-year manufacturer s warranty, the NH-L9x65 SE-AM4 forms a high-quality all-in-one solution for AM4 socket ITX builds and HTPC systems.
The award-winning NH-L9x65 heatsink Thousands of users and enthusiasts around the world swear by the quality and performance of the NH-L9x65. Recommended by over 100 international websites and specialized magazines, it s recognized as one of the best low-profile heatsinks under 70mm
on the market.
Special edition designed specifically for AM4 The NH-L9x65 SE-AM4 brings the quiet cooling features of the NH-L9x65 to AMD s new AM4 platform. Thanks to its compact, low-profile design, it s ideal for cooling low-TDP AM4 CPUs in HTPCs or small form factor cases.
65mm low profile Thanks to its compact heatsink and low-profile NF-A9x14 fan, which is only 14 mm thick, the NH-L9x65 has a height of only 65 mm (the same height as low-profile expansion cards), making it perfect for use in compact HTPCs or small form factor cases that offer limited space for CPU coolers.
100% RAM compatibility The NH-L9x65 SE-AM4 is 95mm thick, exactly meeting AMD s AM4 socket spacing requirements. This means it won t cause issues with chipset heatsinks and won t protrude beyond RAM slots, making it fully compatible with large memory modules.
100% compatibility with mini-ITX graphics cards Most mini-ITX motherboards place the PCIe slot next to the socket area. While larger coolers with 120mm or 140mm fans larger than this area can block the PCIe slot, the NH-L9x65, thanks to its compact design, provides full compatibility with PCIe cards.
Easy access to connectors near the socket Most low-profile coolers use larger fans or heatsinks to achieve adequate cooling performance, but because they protrude beyond the socket area, they make it difficult or nearly impossible to reach the socket-close connectors on small ITX motherboards. Thanks to its compact design, the NH-L9x65 provides easy access to all connectors and components.
Premium quality NF-A9x14 PWM fan The highly optimized NF-A9x14 premium fan features Noctua s exclusive AAO frame and sophisticated aerodynamic design measures. Supporting PWM for fully automatic speed control, the NF-A9x14 enables the NH-L9x65 to be extremely quiet.
Noise reduction adapter By allowing the maximum speed of the NF-A9x14 to be reduced from 2500 rpm to 1800 rpm, the Low Noise Adapter (LNA) enables near-silent installations using CPUs with TDPs lower than 65 W.
SecuFirm2™ mounting system for AM4 Noctua s SecuFirm2™ mounting system has become synonymous with quality, security, and ease of use. For maximum compatibility and to adjust the airflow direction inside the case, the SecuFirm2™ mounting system for AM4 makes it easy to mount the cooler in both the conventional and 90° rotated positions.
NT-H1 thermal compound Having received over 100 awards and recommendations from trade journalists around the world, the Noctua NT-H1 is a proven, professional thermal solution that offers minimal thermal resistance, great ease of use, and outstanding reliability.
6-year warranty Noctua products are known for their impeccable quality and outstanding longevity. Like all other Noctua fans, the NF-A9x14 models offer a mean time between failures (MTBF) of over 150,000 hours, and the complete NH-L9x65 package comes with a full six-year manufacturer s warranty.
