NH-U9S
The results are very surprising indeed and honestly I found it hard to believe. Even though the idle temps are nothing to shout about, the load temps are amazing with the NH-U9S matching the NH-D14 and beating even the H100i from Corsair, truly incredible. Fan noise is very low and I'm glad to report that it's hardly audible over my HD7850's cooler fans even on load, they only run at about 1200RPM anyway.
"I will have no idea what spell Noctua casted on this one but the NH-U9S is no doubt, a gem. Sure, it looks like any other 3rd party CPU cooler in the market and the fan color (as usual) will not be everyone's cuppa. The cooling ability of the NH-U9S is definitely unbelievable though, even I had to re-run the test a few times to make sure that I got it right. At load on Prime95, the NH-U9S kept the temps at 80C that matches top coolers such as the Corsair H100i and their own NH-D14 in our previous tests on the same CPU (and OC speed). And while we're talking about speed, the fans are hardly audible when they top off at 1200RPM." (Clement Thien, Tech-Critter.com)
