“If low noise is a must then Noctua's NH-L9i is the leader of the pack. While it costs £15 more than the Arctic, it's quieter, smaller and less likely to present compatibility issues. We also consider it the best option for mini ITX boards.”

“For $48 you get a cooling solution that just says quality through and through. A smooth base, well thought out mounting solution, nickel plated copper base and heat pipes, excellent thermal compound, low noise adapter, and a fan that is packed full of technology to reduce noise and increase static pressure and airflow, both desirable traits in a cooling solution. Low noise cooling is where Noctua excels. You get all this, a 6 year warranty, and more with the NH-L9i. So far, this is the best low profile small form factor cooler I have tested.”

“If you are looking for a compact cooler which can replace Intel reference solution but offers better quality, design and performance then Noctua NH-L9i is a product for you. It’s hard to find many other coolers which are as good for small builds and HTPC so of course NH-L9i deserves our recommendation!”

“I have really tried to find faults with this product, but I have failed more than Bulldozer in doing so. The NH-L9i is a product that delivers way more than you’d expect and serves a niche market beautifully well. For that reason I’ve decided to award the Noctua NH-L9i the eTeknix Editor’s Choice award.”

“El precio puede parecer elevado, pero ofrece la mejor relación rendimiento/ruido que podamos encontrar con unas dimensiones tan limitadas. Desde del El Chapuzas Informático le otorgamos el Galardón de Oro al proporcionar una excelente relación rendimiento/ruido en equipos de reducidas dimensiones que limitan en gran medida el tamaño del disipador.”

“Noctua has another top quality product in the NH-L9, and it is easily a top choice for tight small form factor applications. Cooling is outstanding for such a small cooler, easily competing with much larger pieces. The fan does become audible at full speed, but is near silent at speeds below ~2000rpm with barely a noticeable difference in performance. The Noctua NH-L9 offers everything you could possibly ask for in an HTPC CPU cooler; small height, easy installation, excellent cooling on stock CPUs below 77 watts and near silent performance.”

“When you take into account that the NH-L9i is a mere 37 mm tall, its performance seems rather impressive. Additionally, unlike the NH-L12 and Scythe Big Shuriken 2, it doesn't interfere with the PCI-E 16x slot on most Intel LGA1155 mini-ITX motherboards. [...] The NH-L9i primary advantage lies in its acoustics; its fan sounds incredibly smooth compared to the more buzzy Scythe model. The NH-L9i is also 3 mm shorter, giving it a slight edge in compatibility”
