Noctua NH-D9L Dual-Tower CPU Cooler Review

Performance


I wasn’t expecting groundbreaking cooling performance from the D9L given that this is a very compact cooler. However, it’s still commendable, and I would feel confident in its abilities for systems that were running at load for extended periods of time.

Overclocked performance wasn’t great, but still within a margin that meant the CPU was stable and didn’t shut down. Of course, if you’re overclocking a CPU and going to be pushing it under load a lot, invest in a bigger cooler such as the Noctua NH-D15.

Wow, that’s a result that speaks for its self, virtually silent performance from the cooler, barely, if at all, registering above ambient noise.

Even when overclocked, the cooler was virtually silent, only after a good few minutes at maximum CPU load did it kick up some noise and even then it was pretty average compared to many rival coolers.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
