Noctua NH-U9S chromax black CPU Cooler NH-U9S-CH-BK

The NH-U9S chromax.black is an all-black version of Noctua's award-winning NH-U9S[/url premium-quality quiet CPU cooler. Thanks to the same proven compact 92mm tower heatsink design and NF-A9 PWM fan; it stays true to the NH-U9S's successful formula of fusing strong cooling performance with excellent quietness of operation and outstanding RAM; case and PCIe compatibility. At the same time; the chromax.black version with its black fan and black coated heatsink combines these assets with a sleek stealth look. Topped off with the renowned SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system; Noctua's enthusiast-grade NT-H1 thermal compound and a full 6-year manufacturer's warranty; the NH-U9S chromax.black is a premium choice for customers who seek a compact; highly compatible 92mm heatsink that looks just as great as it cools.
Award-winning NH-U series The NH-U9S stems from Noctua’s award-winning NH-U9 series. First introduced in 2005; the NH-U series has become a standard choice for premium quality quiet CPU coolers and won more than 800 awards and recommendations from leading international hardware websites and magazines.
chromax.black design The NH-U9S chromax.black is black from head to toe: Featuring a black coated heatsink; a black fan with black anti-vibration pads; black fan clips and black mounting parts; it is right at home in all-black builds and easy to integrate with other colour schemes.
S version with better compatibility Like its bigger brothers NH-U12S and NH-U14S; the NH-U9S features a revised; slimmer layout. Whereas the NH-U9B SE2 was 120mm deep with its two stock fans; the NH-U9S is asymmetrically built and measures only 95mm with its single; more efficient NF-A9 fan; thus providing better performance and compatibility at the same time.0% RAM compatibility
With its 95x95mm footprint; the NH-U9S does not overhang the RAM slots on current Intel and most AMD mainboards. This gives the user full access to the memory modules and guarantees 100% compatibility with tall heatspreaders or optional memory fans. Please note: Some AMD mainboards violate the 96x114mm keep-out zone specified by AMD; so the NH-U9S can only be used with RAM modules of up to 30mm height on these boards. Please consult our compatibility list for details.0% compatibility with PCIe cards on mini-ITX Many Intel LGA115x based mini-ITX mainboards have the PCIe slot sitting right next to the 95x95mm socket zone. While larger coolers that exceed this zone are likely to block the PCIe slot; the 95x95xmm sized NH-U9S provides full compatibility with PCIe cards; be it on ATX; microATX or ITX.

NF-A9 premium fan The highly optimised NF-A9 premium fan features Noctua’s proprietary AAO frame as well as sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels; which allows it to further improve the renowned efficiency of Noctua’s previous 92mm models and contributes to the NH-U9S’ superior cooling performance.
PWM support and Low-Noise Adaptor The NF-A9 92mm fan supplied with the NH-U9S supports PWM for convenient automatic speed control through the mainboard. In addition; the maximum fan speed can be reduced from 2000 to 1550rpm using the supplied Low-Noise Adaptor for even quieter operation.
Dual fan ready The NH-U9S includes an extra set of fan mounting clips for users who want to achieve even better cooling performance by adding a second; optional NF-A9 PWM fan in order to create a push/pull setup. Using the y-cable supplied with the NF-A9 PWM retail fan; both fans can be connected to one CPU fan header.
SecuFirm2 mounting system Noctua’s SecuFirm2 mounting systems have become synonymous with quality; safety and ease of use. Supporting Intel LGA115x (LGA1150; LGA1155; LGA1156); LGA2066; LGA2011 (LGA2011-0 & LGA2011-3) and AMD (AM2+; AM3; AM3+; FM1; FM2; FM2+); the SecuFirm2 mounting included with the NH-U9S guarantees perfect contact pressure and maximum convenience on all current sockets.
Compatibility with past and future sockets Complying with the open SecuFirm standard; the NH-U9S can be made compatible with the older LGA1366 and LGA775 sockets using the optional NM-I3 mounting kit; which is provided by Noctua free of charge. If technically possible; Noctua will also provide upgrade kits for future sockets.
NT-H1 thermal compound Having received more than 100 awards and recommendations from hardware journalists around the world; Noctua's NT-H1 is a proven professional grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance; excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability.
6 years warranty Noctua products are renowned for their impeccable quality and outstanding longevity. Like all Noctua fans; the supplied NF-A9 features an MTBF rating of more than 150.000 hours and the entire NH-U9S package comes with a full 6 years manufacturer’s warranty.
