Our take on the Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.Black CPU Cooler

The Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.Black is a low-profile CPU cooler built for AMD AM4 sockets in small-form-factor builds. It stands 37 mm tall with a single 92 mm NF-A9x14 PWM fan, so it clears tight cases where tower coolers cannot fit. It is a quiet, well-built cooler for low-power CPUs, not a match for high-wattage chips. Owners rate it highly for fit, noise and build quality.

Questions and answers

Is the NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.Black good for a mini-ITX build?
Yes. Its 37 mm height and 92 mm fan make it one of the easiest coolers to fit in tight mini-ITX cases. It suits low-power AM4 CPUs best.
Will it cool a high-end Ryzen CPU?
Not well. It is designed for modest heat loads, so high-core, high-wattage Ryzen chips will run hot under sustained load. Use a larger cooler for those.
Does it fit sockets other than AM4?
No. This version is AM4-only. Noctua sells separate versions for other sockets.
Is the fan PWM controlled?
Yes. The NF-A9x14 fan uses PWM control, and a low-noise adapter is included for quieter running.
What is in the box?
The cooler, the 92 mm NF-A9x14 PWM fan, mounting hardware for AM4 and a low-noise adapter.
Does it have RGB lighting?
No. The chromax.Black version is all black with no lighting.
Where is the Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.Black CPU Cooler cheapest?
At Newegg, for $66.16, as of our latest check.
