NH-L9x65
Obviously due to its size the NH-L9x65’s performance is lackluster if you were to try and compare to other air based CPU Coolers. But that would be like trying to compare the top speed of a Bugatti Veyron to that of a Smart Car! So let’s look at it’s nearest rival (that we have tested), the Silverstone Argon AR06. Simply put the performance of the Noctua NH-L9x65 put the Argon AR06 in the shade, being approximately 18 degrees cooler when looking at both the stock and overclocked results. It also does this while staying pretty quiet with a maximum recorded dBA of 40 with the 90mm fan at 100%, this drops even lower to around 37dBA with the fan switched to PWM control.
"The bottom line here is that we have a cooler designed to go where no other cooler is likely to fit, it’s beautifully made and extremely easy to install. The Noctua NH-L9x65 also performs well enough for modern day use and Gaming, even with an overclock!" (Mike Whatley, pcGameware.co.uk)
