Today I will be reviewing the NH-D9L brought to us by Noctua. Noctua has long been a front runner in the cooling world. Today I have my hands on the NH-D9L. The picture may resemble the last Noctua I covered (NH-D15) except the NH-D9L is a third of the size. The NH-D9L supports 92mm cooling fans. Some applications require the smallest cooler achievable and that can really be a dilemma when you also want superior cooling in a small package. What is great about the NH-D9L is you have the option to purchase a second fan and install a dual fan setup. I can not wait any longer, I want to see the cooling capabilities of the NH-D9L.

The NH-D9L is a premium grade dual tower CPU cooler that has been designed to provide excellent quiet cooling performance at a height of only 110mm. Its comparably low profile (15mm lower than classic 9cm tower coolers such as the NH-U9S) doesn't only guarantee full 3U compliance but also makes the NH-D9L ideal for compact HTPC and Small Form Factor cases that have airflow paths parallel to the mainboard. Thanks to its 95x95mm footprint, the NH-D9L clears the RAM and PCIe slots on all Intel based and most AMD based ITX mainboards. The included NF-A9 premium fan supports automatic speed control via PWM for outstanding quietness of operation and a second, optional NF-A9 fan can be added for further improved performance in dual fan mode. Topped off with the trusted, pro-grade SecuFirm2? multi-socket mounting system, Noctua's proven NT-H1 thermal compound and full 6 years manufacturer's warranty, the NH-D9L forms a highly compact premium package for space-restricted applications.
