The NH-L9a-AM5 is Noctua's AM5-specific revision of their award-winning NH-L9a low-profile CPU cooler designed for AMD Ryzen-based HTPCs and small form factor systems. With a height of just 37 mm, the NH-L9a is ideal for extremely slim cases and offers 100% RAM and PCIe compatibility due to its small footprint, as well as easy access to socket-close connections even on tightly packed Mini-ITX motherboards. The specially designed SecuFirm2 mounting system for the AM5 socket makes installation a breeze, and thanks to the highly optimized NF-A9x14 92 mm fan, which supports fully automatic speed control via PWM, the NH-L9a-AM5 operates remarkably quietly. Finished with Noctua's renowned NT-H1 thermal paste, the NH-L9a-AM5 combines everything users expect from Noctua's larger coolers in a super compact, high-quality package for ITX and HTPC builds with AMD AM5 processors.
