NH-L9a
The Noctua NH-L9a did quite well. At full speed without the L.N.A., the Noctua cooler was still audible, and outside of the case not significantly quieter than the stock cooler. The larger fan of the Noctua cooler produces a lower pitch though, which does not seem to penetrate the case as readily. The lower pitch also blends in better with the ambient sound of my home HVAC system. With the L.N.A. inline, the sound is noticeably reduced and performance did not seem to be significantly altered.
"Overall the Noctua NH-L9a perfomed quite well. [...] AMD lists the maximum temperature of this CPU to be 71C, which was never approached." (Kirk Jones, TopReviewShop.com)
