Noctua Ventola Per Cpu Nh-l9a-am4 Ch.bk

Great small cooler that produced cooling above expected performance

I've previously used other Noctua coolers and I was always pleased by how easy they are to install. Unfortunately, this one is different. You need to press it onto the CPU and then somehow screw it on from the bottom. It's awkward and it makes it hard to get a good thermal paste layer. I wish the little screw arms could somehow stick through the motherboard holes, so the cooler wouldn't slide around while tightening the screws. That said, the performance and noise level seem great as always. It fit in my low-profile case and it keeps my CPU cool, so I can't complain too much.

Noctua always makes great products. Noticed a ~10 degree temp drop after installing

When I decided to swap my build into a new case, I figured I would finally upgrade past the stock cooler I got back in 2018. I didnt think it would give me too much of a performance boost at first, but It ended up helping keep my CPU a lot cooler than it used to. Honestly the colors will eventually grow on you, if thats something you care about!

Works great, keeps my ryzen 5600g nice and cool. Fits perfectly in my sff build also has very low noise levels even at max speed
