For a small form factor cooler, it does it’s job well. Even without being intended to cool an overclocked CPU, it still manages to perform well under conditions it was not designed for. It might operate at a slightly high temperature than other coolers, but it does so extremely quietly. Being used to a loud Corsair H80 in my normal system, I was confused to whether I turned on the computer or not. While you’re not going to be getting super high overclocks with low temperatures, the NH-D9L performs extremely well taking into consideration its intended use and product segment.We have yet to test a product from Noctua we didn’t like and it should be no different with the NH-D9L.

The NH-D9L is a tad bit shorter than the NH-U9S so it is more fitting for a itx build. Like with all Noctua coolers, we highly recommend you check them out." (Martin Tam, [blank]'s Universe)
