NH-U9B
Amazingly, the little NH-U9B bested almost every heatsink on the chart. It was only a degree or two behind its big brother, the NH-U12P and the Thermalright SI-128 SE. Very good! [...] As we discovered during the last heatsink roundup, Prime95 'Small FFT' testing puts significantly more strain on modern Intel processors than "Large FFTs". The NH-U9B had no issues coping with the extra heat load and kept its position in third. I have to keep reminding myself that this heatsink employs a 92mm fan! There are heatsinks more than twice its weight trailing behind it. [...] With two NF-B9 fans, we were able to match the performance of our reference fan, while still producing far less noise. Those who want high performance while keeping noise at a minimum will be very pleased with a dual NF-B9 configuration.
"Noctua does not disappoint with the NH-U9B. Outperforming almost all of our 120mm heatsinks, it is a phenomenal performer." (Mike D., Icrontic.com)
