Noctua
About This Product
The Noctua NH-L9A-AM5 is a low-profile air cooler designed for small form factor (SFF) builds using AMD AM5 processors. Its compact size allows for compatibility with cases that have limited CPU cooler clearance. While effective for CPUs with lower TDPs, it may struggle with sustained loads on high-performance AM5 processors, potentially leading to thermal throttling compared to larger air coolers or AIOs in its price range.
