Questions about Noctua NH-U9S chromax.black CPU cooler

Yes the assembly kit for AMD AM4 is included

Basically, any fan is suitable for overclocking. There is certainly a better choice, but it often depends on the case and whether you can install a larger one. So get to the OC screw and see what the i5 can do :-)

The cooler is compatible with socket AM5. All Noctua coolers supporting socket AM4, including this one, are compatible with AM5, often without the need for an additional adapter, as AM5 uses the same mounting system as AM4. The NH-U9S chromax.black officially supports AM4 and AM5 from 2019 according to the manufacturer's datasheet. If required, an AM5 adapter mounting kit can be supplied free of charge by Noctua for certain models, but in this particular case it is generally not required.

Yes you can but I highly recommend this one NH-D15,it's more effective.

Your CPU has a heat dissipation of 150 W. The cooler must be able to cope with that. If you still want to overclock, more, of course. Here is an overview https://noctua.at/de/noctua-standardised-performance-rating. It seems to be a bit tight.

no...the ryzen 5 5600x has a tdp of 65 degrees...the noctua manages 93 degrees...here more infos about the noctua from noctua....https://noctua.at/de/nh-u9s-chromax-black

Here is the answer from our supplier: "We can't say for sure if external CPU coolers are compatible with this model, as it has not been tested. But depending on the socket and height of the CPU cooler, it should be compatible. Please note that to install this cooler, you must remove the motherboard and install a backplate."

Evening, I think you can write an email to Noctua support with a receipt and address for a free LGA 1700 kit. According to>> https://noctua.at/de/intel-lga1700-all-you-need-to-know Alternatively you can get this kit on Amazon for 10CHF. Hope I could help you.

Noctua NH-U9S (12.50 cm) I think there was nothing

These are the correct dimensions: - Overall width: 95 mm - Height: 125 mm - Depth: 97 mm The data given at the moment are only those of the packaging.

In general Noctua are very good, I advise you to have a look here: https://www.ginjfo.com/dossiers/tests-materiel/composants/refroidissement/test-du-ventirad-nh-u9s-de-noctua-20161125/5

Good day I have installed the heat sink in the meantime and can't check anymore, but the support on the CPU and the heat pipes are silver and looked nickel-plated to me.
