NH-D9L chromax.black,NH-L9x65 chromax.black
The installation process is very easy with both products and you won't get much hustle completing this task. Noctua has included a 3.5gr NT-H1 thermal paste tube, which is a good thing since most other manufacturers don't include branded thermal paste in their retail boxes. For our tests, we used an AM5 platform with the most hungry AMD processor, the AMD 7950X. We used the built-in Asus BIOS AMD presets to simulate different CPU processor scenarios, for 65-watt / 105-watt, and 170-watt CPUs. Many users after all use those presets to lower the overall heat dispass of their processors and get a good balance between speed and CPU temperatures. So what's the verdict? We can say that both the NH-D9L and NH-L9x65 can handle 65watt TDP processors and perhaps even 105Watt TDP CPUs, while 170watt TDP-rated processors (like the AMD 7950X) will introduce not great performance, but the system won't thermal throttle so thats a good thing.
"Since both CPU coolers have low volume and dimensions, it's clear that are aimed at small factor systems and if you are in the market for such CPU coolers, we can highly recommend both products, depending on your needs." (Alex Macris, CDRinfo.com)
