Thanks to the same proven heatsink design and NF-A9x14 PWM fan, it stays true to the NH-L9a-AM5’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 AM5 and Noctua’s enthusiast-grade NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-L9a-AM5 chromax.black is a premium choice for customers who seek an ultra-compact heatsink that looks just as great as it cools. The NH-L9a-AM5 is a highly compact, quiet low-profile cooler designed for use in small form factor cases and HTPC environments. While it provides first-rate performance in its class, it is not suitable for overclocking and or CPUs that create high heat loads. ## Features - Proven premium heatsink (more than 100 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 compact HTPC and Small Form Factor (SFF) cases, tailored footprint guarantees 100% RAM and PCIe compatibility on all ITX, Micro-ATX and ATX AM5 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 AM5 (LGA1718) processors - Renowned Noctua quality backed up by 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, deluxe choice for AMD Ryzen processors with moderate heat load (e.g. 7900, 7700, 7600, see compatibility list) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Air Flow Capacity | 57.5 Cubic Metres Per Hour | | Asin | B0BNLB8VXS | | Best Sellers Rank | 37,037 in Computers & Accessories (See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories) 249 in Computer Cases | | Brand | Noctua | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Cooling Method | Air | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (281) 4.5 out of 5 stars | | Eu Spare Part Availability Duration | 6 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 09010018000351 | | Item Dimensions L X W X H | 37L x 114W x 92H millimetres | | Item Highlight | Only 37mm Height, ITX SFF Low-Noise Cooling, For AMD AM5, 92mm Slim Fan, No RAM or PCIe Overhang, Rich Accessory Kit | | Item Weight | 465 Grams | | Manufacturer | Noctua | | Manufacturer Part Number | NH-L9a-AM5 chromax.black | | Material | Copper (base and heat-pipes), aluminium (cooling fins), soldered joints & nickel plating | | Max Rotational Speed | 2500 RPM | | Model Number | NH-L9a-AM5 chromax.black | | Noise Level | 23.6 Decibels | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Number Of Packs | 1 | | Power Connector Type | 4-Pin | | Product Warranty | 1 Year Manufacturer | | Voltage | 12 Volts | ## Product Details - **Air flow capacity:** 57.5 Cubic Metres Per Hour - **Brand:** Noctua - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Cooling method:** Air - **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:** 37L x 114W x 92H millimetres - **Voltage:** 12 Volts ## Images ![Noctua NH-L9a-AM5 chromax.black, High-Performance Low-Profile CPU Cooler - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PCyuPvp+L.jpg) ![Noctua NH-L9a-AM5 chromax.black, High-Performance Low-Profile CPU Cooler - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qkueoT7hL.jpg) ![Noctua NH-L9a-AM5 chromax.black, High-Performance Low-Profile CPU Cooler - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819B03gcbAL.jpg) ![Noctua NH-L9a-AM5 chromax.black, High-Performance Low-Profile CPU Cooler - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iFNHoVwYL.jpg) ![Noctua NH-L9a-AM5 chromax.black, High-Performance Low-Profile CPU Cooler - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711BOl8aeAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent low profile cooler *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 22 August 2026* This is being used in my latest ultra-compact ITX gaming build. It’s cooling an AMD Ryzen 5 9600 x CPU and has been performing well so far. The installation was pretty straightforward the base is fitted directly to the motherboard. Just be very careful not to overtighten the Allen bolts or you risk damage to the AM5 socket.Actual performance has been good so far, it keeps the CPU in the high 80s under load. It’s not as quiet as I was expecting, bit that may be partly down to it being in a tiny ITX case. It ramps up and down with PWM nice and quickly and even shuts off for passive cooling when the CPU is at or near idle.I prefer the black colour scheme over the traditional retro colours of the Noctua fans. The build quality and appearance are also top notch. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing air cooler for AM5 *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 16 March 2025* Keeps the Ryzen 7800X3D cool while in a K39 case. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best *by on Reviewed in Spain 3 October 2024* ******** ## Frequently Bought Together - Noctua NH-L9a-AM5 chromax.Black, Premium Low-Profile CPU Cooler for AMD AM5 (Black) - CORSAIR SF750 (2024) Fully Modular Low Noise 80 Plus Platinum ATX Power Supply – 3.1 Compliant – PCIe 5.1 Ready – SFX-to-ATX Bracket Included – Black - Fractal Design Terra Graphite - Wood Walnut Front Panel - Small Form Factor - Mini ITX Gaming case – PCIe 4.0 Riser Cable – USB Type-C - Anodized Aluminum Panels --- ## 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.co.uk/products/509242097-noctua-nh-l9a-am5-chromax-black-high-performance-low-profile](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/509242097-noctua-nh-l9a-am5-chromax-black-high-performance-low-profile) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
