Noctua

The NH-L9i chromax.black is an all-black version of Noctua’s award-winning, low-profile cooler NH-L9i, designed for HTPCs and Small Form Factor (SFF) systems. The winning formula remains unchanged thanks to the same ultra-thin heatsink and the proven NF-A9x14 PWM Premium fan: excellent cooling performance and outstanding quiet operation at a height of just 37 mm, combined with high RAM and PCIe compatibility. The chromax.black version, with its black fan and black-coated heatsink, further combines these advantages with a stylish stealth design. The overall high-quality package is completed by the renowned SecuFirm2 mounting system for Intel LGA115x and Noctua’s popular NT-H1 thermal compound – a true premium solution for demanding users seeking an ultra-compact cooler that looks as good as it cools.

Key specifications

Socket

A CPU socket or CPU slot is a mechanical component that provides mechanical and electrical connections between a microprocessor and a printed circuit board (PCB). This allows the CPU to be replaced without soldering.
Common sockets have retention clips that apply a constant force, which must be overcome when a device is inserted. For chips with a large number of pins, either zero-insertion force (ZIF) sockets or land grid array (LGA) sockets are used instead. These designs apply a compression force once either a handle (for ZIF type) or a surface plate (LGA type) is put into place. This provides superior mechanical retention while avoiding the risk of bending pins when inserting the chip into the socket.

Max. TDP

The thermal design power (TDP), sometimes called thermal design point, refers to the maximum amount of power the cooling system in a computer is required to dissipate. For example, a laptop's CPU cooling system may be designed for a 20 watt TDP, which means that it can dissipate up to 20 watts of heat without exceeding the maximum junction temperature for the computer chip. It can do this using an active cooling method such as a fan or any of the three passive cooling methods, convection, thermal radiation or conduction. Typically, a combination of methods is used. The TDP is typically not the most power the chip could ever draw, such as by a power virus, but rather the maximum power that it would draw when running "real applications". This ensures the computer will be able to handle essentially all applications without exceeding its thermal envelope, or requiring a cooling system for the maximum theoretical power (which would cost more but in favor of extra headroom for processing power).

Airflow

The air volume refers to the amount of air that can be moved or circulated per unit of time. It is often measured in cubic metres per hour or litres per second. A higher air volume generally indicates a stronger suction force or circulation of air.
