It's compatible with a wide range of AMD Ryzen CPUs and APUs, making it a versatile choice for various builds.

Review: Excellent performance even in a very small case and an overclocked CPU - I bought this heatsink in order to build a decent gaming computer in a very small case (Geeek A31) and I couldn't be happier. It cools an overclocked Ryzen 5 1600 (3.8 GHz) and never gets warmer than 72ºC under heavy load. The sound of the fan is very low, ideal for a silent computer. Either the fan or the aluminium block are very good quality and look gorgeous. The only drawback is the fact that you have to pay +£10 just to get this black version. If you don't mind the colour, just go for regular Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 so you can save some money. ## 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 | 41,212 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 316 in Computer Cases | | Brand | Noctua | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Cooling Method | Air | | Country Of Origin | Taiwan | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,406) | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 6 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 09010018000214 | | Included Components | Camera Body | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 37L x 114W x 92H millimetres | | Item Weight | 465 Grams | | Manufacturer | Noctua | | Manufacturer Part Number | NH-L9A-AM4 CH.BK | | Material | Copper (base and heat-pipes), aluminium (cooling fins), soldered joints & nickel plating | | Max Rotational Speed | 2500 RPM | | Model Number | NH-L9a-AM4chromaxb | | Noise Level | 23.6 Decibels | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Connector Type | 4-Pin | | Product Warranty | 6 year manufacturer’s warranty | | UPC | 841501100215 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Voltage | 12 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Noctua - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Cooling method:** Air - **EU Spare Part Availability Duration:** 6 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:** 37L x 114W x 92H millimetres - **Voltage:** 12 Volts ## Images ![NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.black, Low-Profile CPU Cooler for AMD AM4 (Black) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+KhStFPZL.jpg) ![NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.black, Low-Profile CPU Cooler for AMD AM4 (Black) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81qkueoT7hL.jpg) ![NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.black, Low-Profile CPU Cooler for AMD AM4 (Black) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819B03gcbAL.jpg) ![NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.black, Low-Profile CPU Cooler for AMD AM4 (Black) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lSDNyxMEL.jpg) ![NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.black, Low-Profile CPU Cooler for AMD AM4 (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?

Check the backplate fits your motherboard unlike me *by J***M on 16 March 2023* While the cooler and parts are really well made, the backplate does NOT support all AM4 motherboards, my motherboard has cut outs on the stock backplate for chips so you cannot use the provided Noctua backplate, not unless you cut into it or modify it, otherwise you need to use the screws to mount the fan to mount the block through the stock motherboard backplate and find other screws for the fan to mount to the cooler block. Personally I had to modify the fan shroud a little bit on the edges where the screws go through so that the only screws I had would fit would reach the cooler but you can hardly notice that at all in the case due to it being dark and enclosed anyway (See image of cooler attached) The backplate in use is the stock MSI B550I motherboard one, with the fan screws being the same size thread as the mounting screws I was able to use those to mount things perfectly without any problems (Not my first PC by far, custom building for YEARS so I know when is safe to do so) The backplate provided by Noctua in the listing images do NOT have those extra top and bottom cut outs, something that I missed when I made my purchase so I was unable to use it, but I was able to work around that with an hour or two of carefully tweaking the fan. All in all had I not run into that issue I'd say 10/10 but because the listing did not match what I expected when it said compatible with AM4 motherboards and not being clear I'd say maybe a 9 though I do also take responsibility for not checking the pictures as carefully and tearing down my system before hand to double check, great product otherwise and runs cooler than my 240mm AIO I had before ## 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.kg/products/178222797-nh-l9a-am4-chromax-black-low-profile-cpu-cooler-amd](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/178222797-nh-l9a-am4-chromax-black-low-profile-cpu-cooler-amd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
