I mounted it on a good performance processor from a few years ago, still perfectly functional; it does its job and is quiet

Yes, the Noctua NH-L9x65 chromax.black is compatible with AMD AM5 CPUs. All Noctua coolers that support AM4 are upwards compatible with socket AM5, and the NH-L9x65 falls into this category.

I have installed the cooler on a 7800x3d in an itx case. Not compatible according to Noctua, but works fine with slight undervolting. ( 5800x - 105w TDP, 7800x3d - 120w TDP )

Yes, the Noctua NH-L9x65 cooler is compatible with the Gigabyte B550I AORUS PRO AX motherboard (mini ITX).
- The motherboard uses socket AM4, and the NH-L9x65 SE-AM4 is specifically designed for this socket with the SecuFirm2 AM4/AM5 mounting system.
- The compact design of the NH-L9x65 does not cause problems with RAM slots or PCIe cards on mini-ITX motherboards.

Noctua recommends caution when using this cooler with processors above 100 W TDP:

Your processor draws a maximum of 125 watts, so throttling could occur, especially if you are using a small case.

You can check the compatibility with your socket/CPU on the Noctua website:

I don't have one but according to the specifications in the link LGA2066 is in the list.
Unfortunately I cannot answer that
The predecessor probably doesn't support the AM4 socket, or only with an additional adapter that takes up more space. That's why there is a special AM4 version and I wouldn't take anything else myself. Do you perhaps mean NH-L9a-AM4 (3.7cm instead of 6.5cm)? The L9A version is a lot more compact.
There are standard dimensions that should actually guarantee that a cooler fits on a motherboard, but Mini-ITX often goes to the absolute minimum. However, you will hardly find smaller, more space-saving professional coolers than these two models, I think. With RAM, I would do without headspreaders if they make the modules higher, as the low cooler might overlap at least one module. Alternatively, you can remove the spreader very carefully with a hair dryer (warranty gone).
Whether the BD drive fits depends on the case (size/type). In mini-towers, the 5.25" drive bay is often above/below the mainboard height (i.e. no conflict). With a flat case and 3.5" drive on top, the drive should not be too close above the cooler (1cm for airflow is certainly too little).
In general, I think the triangle is: price - performance - size. Choose two of them, i.e. I would only choose a miniaturised form for valid reasons.

Unfortunately, no, this product does not have the LGA 1700 socket. But you can contact the brand directly if you would like to obtain it. ):

The idea was to install a quiet cooler that doesn't take up too much space. I don't have much room in the width because my graphics card is mounted vertically and there's just 1 cm of space between it and the boxed cooler. Noctua is also known for being very quiet, I have the same cooler installed with my Ryzen 3 1200 and I don't hear a peep from it, but the boxed cooler on the Ryzen 7 3700X is just too loud for me.

Hello Letrax
Shouldn't be a problem. However, I would never change the fan. The Noctua fan is super quiet and does its job perfectly! Greetings, Emil
Helpful answer
With good case ventilation, that's fine. Less suitable for overclocking, however. Further information: https://noctua.at/de/nh_l9x65_tdp_guidelines

The fan can be exchanged for another 9cm fan. It is important that the fan has an edge length of 9 cm.
I advise against lacquering, as this quickly creates an imbalance and the fan then rattles.

Hello sam17
The Noctua coolers are certainly good coolers. Unfortunately, I don't know which CPU you want to cool.
The 2x 1080 certainly also have an influence. But it also depends on which case you take, what for and how many fans you install.
Hello, the CPU heatsink has little to do with graphics cards, however Noctua heatsinks are very good products. Please note that the heatsink in question can only be mounted on AMD processors, not Intel.
