Trusted by professionals and backed by a 6-year warranty, this cooler is ideal for moderate heat load Ryzen CPUs and APUs. ## Description Product description The NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.black is an all-black version of Noctua’s award-winning NH-L9a-AM4 low-profile quiet CPU cooler for AMD Ryzen based HTPCs and Small Form Factor (SFF) builds. Thanks to the same proven heatsink design and NF-A9x14 PWM fan, it stays true to the NH-L9a-AM4’s successful formula of fusing a height of only 37mm with strong performance and excellent quietness of operation, as well as 100% RAM and PCIe compatibility. At the same time, the chromax.black version with its black fan and black coated heatsink combines these assets with a sleek stealth look. Topped off with the renowned SecuFirm2 low-profile mounting system for AMD AM4 and Noctua’s enthusiast-grade NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.black is a premium choice for customers who seek an ultra-compact heatsink that looks just as great as it cools. 37mm low profile Due to the slim 23mm heatsink and the NF-A9x14 low profile fan that measures only 14mm in thickness, the NH-L9 stands a mere 37mm tall, which makes it ideal for use in compact HTPCs or Small Form Factor cases that offer minimum clearance for CPU coolers. 100% RAM compatibility The NH-L9a-AM4 has a compact footprint that fully complies with the socket keep-out zones specified by AMD. This means that neither the heatsink nor the fan overhang the RAM, so the cooler provides easy access to the slots and is fully compatible with tall memory modules. 100% compatibility with PCIe cards on mini-ITX Some AMD-based mini-ITX motherboards have the PCIe slot located close to the CPU socket zone. While larger coolers that exceed this zone may block the PCIe slot, the compact-sized NH-L9a-AM4 provides full compatibility with PCIe cards. Custom-designed SecuFirm2 mounting for AM4 The NH-L9a-AM4 comes with a custom-designed SecuFirm2 mounting system for the AM4 socket of AMD’s Ryzen platform. Allowing the heatsink to be fixed from the back of the motherboard, it makes installation easier than ever, all while maintaining the trusted SecuFirm2 quality.

Review: Compact and Efficient: Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.Black Delivers Quiet Cooling Performance - I recently purchased the Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.Black Low-Profile CPU Cooler from desertcart. The delivery was speedy and on time, as expected with desertcart Prime. Upon unboxing, I found the cooler to be smaller than I initially expected, especially compared to my previous NH-D15 chromax.black. However, the packaging was excellent, with Noctua including everything needed for installation, such as thermal paste and a backplate. Installation was straightforward and easy. As an IT professional, I found no issues with the process, which involved cleaning the CPU, applying thermal paste, and screwing down the cooler with the provided components. In terms of performance, the cooler works surprisingly well. While I haven't conducted stress tests, it keeps the CPU cool during normal tasks. Initially, the cooler was a bit noisier than expected, but after installing the appropriate drivers and completing startup processes, it became much quieter. The aesthetics of the cooler are impressive. The black design fits seamlessly with the rest of my system, and the low-profile form factor helps reduce the feeling of cramped space inside the case. Overall, I believe the Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.Black is worth the money and would recommend it to others. I am very satisfied with my purchase and plan to continue using Noctua coolers in my future builds. Review: Very low profile - Used this on a mini ITX motherboard in a TINY computer case. This cooler solved all the issues. It does not interfere with full height RAM, is very compact while being very quiet and provides good cooling. It is a down draft cooler that directs air towards the motherboard, which in my circumstance, is an extra benefit because there is no other fan in the case. The CPU is a Ryzen 3 3200G processor with 4 cores. It is not being maxed out at all. The online reviews suggest that it can handle a much higher thermal load than what I’m subjecting it to. ## Features - Proven premium heatsink (more than 50 awards and recommendations from international hardware websites), now available in an all-black design that goes great with many colour schemes - Only 37mm height allows it to fit ultra-compact HTPC and Small Form Factor (SFF) cases, tailored footprint guarantees 100% RAM and PCIe compatibility on all ITX, Micro-ATX and ATX AM4 motherboards - Renowned, award-winning NF-A9x14 slim 92mm fan with Low-Noise Adaptor and PWM for automatic speed control: Full cooling performance under load, whisper quiet at idle! - Includes high-end NT-H1 thermal paste and SecuFirm2 mounting system for easy installation on AMD Ryzen CPUs and APUs - Renowned Noctua quality backed up by 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, deluxe choice for AMD Ryzen CPUs & APUs with moderate heat load (e.g. 5600, 4750G, 4650G, 4600G, see compatibility list) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B083LQVX5W | | Best Sellers Rank | #383 in Computer CPU Cooling Fans | | Brand | Noctua | | Brand Name | Noctua | | CPU Socket | Socket AM4 | | Cooler Heatsink Compatibility | AMD AM4 | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,611 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 09010018000214 | | Included Components | Camera Body | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 3.62"L x 4.49"W x 1.45"H | | Item Weight | 465 Grams | | Manufacturer | Noctua | | Model | NH-L9a-AM4chromaxb | | Mounting Type | Chassis Mount | | Part Number | NH-L9A-AM4 CH.BK | | Product Dimensions | 3.62"L x 4.49"W x 1.45"H | | UPC | 841501100215 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 6 year manufacturer’s warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Noctua - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Cooling Method:** Air - **EU Spare Part Availability Duration:** 1 Years - **Material:** Copper (base and heat-pipes), aluminium (cooling fins), soldered joints & nickel plating - **Maximum Rotational Speed:** 2500 RPM - **Noise Level:** 23.6 Decibels - **Power Connector Type:** 4-Pin - **Product Dimensions:** 3.62"L x 4.49"W x 1.45"H - **Voltage:** 12 Volts ## Images ![NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+KhStFPZL.jpg) ![NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qkueoT7hL.jpg) ![NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819B03gcbAL.jpg) ![NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lSDNyxMEL.jpg) ![NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FSOEu0TiL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What material is the cooling plate made of?** A: "Copper (base and heat-pipes), aluminium (cooling fins), soldered joints & nickel plating" **Q: does it come with pre applied thermal paste** A: No, it comes with a tube of thermal paste to apply **Q: will this keep my ryzen 5 2600 cool?

This cooler solved all the issues. It does not interfere with full height RAM, is very compact while being very quiet and provides good cooling. It is a down draft cooler that directs air towards the motherboard, which in my circumstance, is an extra benefit because there is no other fan in the case.

The online reviews suggest that it can handle a much higher thermal load than what I’m subjecting it to. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small and Effective *by C***N on June 2, 2022* I was setting up an ITX system as a secondary in one of my phanteks computer cases, and needed a cooler that could fit in a tight space and still provide adequate cooling for the ITX' processor. Most 120mm AIOs didn't have the tube length I needed, tower coolers were too tall, and a lot of 'low profile' coolers conflicted with the RAM slots. This ended up being the best option for my secondary system, and does an excellent job keeping it cool. Mounting is kind of tricky since you have to flip the motherboard upside down and install it that way, but it wasn't too difficult. And what I liked most was being able to swap out the fan for something with a little bit of color as they included screws for both low-profile fans like the one included, as well as screws for thicker fans such as a Scythe RGB fan I had purchased to go along with the cooler. ## Frequently Bought Together - Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.Black, Low-Profile CPU Cooler for AMD AM4 (Black) - Gigabyte A520I AC (AMD Ryzen AM4/Mini-ITX/Direct 6 Phases Digital PWM with 55A DrMOS/Gaming GbE LAN/Intel WiFi+Bluetooth/NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2/3 Display Interfaces/Q-Flash Plus/Motherboard) - AMD Ryzen™ 7 5700G 8-Core, 16-Thread Desktop Processor with Radeon™ Graphics --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/225777654-nh-l9a-am4-chromax-black](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/225777654-nh-l9a-am4-chromax-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
