NH-L9i
The people over at Noctua have designed and manufactured many CPU Coolers and fans during their 7 years in the market targeted towards pretty much every user out there from enthusiasts and overclockers and up to casual users, gamers and HTPC owners. Now normally that alone would never be impressive enough, however what makes Noctua stand out from most other manufacturers is that almost each and every one of their products has won awards around the globe, some due to their excellent build quality, some due to their awesome performance, some due to their extremely low noise levels and some (actually most) for all three. Now numbers don't lie so the NH-L9i (and generally the L9 line) is a small CPU cooler designed for people with extremely small PC cases (HTPC ones) who want something better than the default Intel HSF (performance wise) without extra noise levels.
"Granted you can find many other low-profile CPU coolers in the market (like the NH-C14/NH-C12/NH-L12 by Noctua) but to my knowledge the NH-L9 is currently the lowest/smallest one around and once you combine that with its performance, build quality and low noise levels it's really not hard to understand how impressive it is which is also why it gets our Golden Award."
