Noctua launches low-profile coolers for AMD’s new Ryzen processors

Austrian cooling specialist Noctua has announced two new additions to its NH-L9 range of low-profile CPU coolers. The NH-L9a-AM5 and NH-L9a-AM5 chromax.black are specifically designed for AMD’s new 65W CPUs: the Ryzen 5 7600, Ryzen 7 7700 and Ryzen 9 7900.

The heatsink comes equipped with Noctua’s NF-A9x14 92mm fan, which supports fully automatic PWM speed control. The fan produces just 13.5 dB of noise with the included low-noise adapter and 19.9dB without it. Buyers also receive a tube of Noctua’s proprietary NT-H1 thermal compound.

The NH-L9a-AM5 is available in two versions. The standard model features a copper base and heat pipes, aluminum fins and nickel plating, paired with Noctua’s signature cream-and-brown fan. The chromax.black variant offers the same design in an all-black finish for a more understated look.

Noctua’s coolers have earned high praise since their debut many years ago, both for their cooling performance and their low noise levels.

Both coolers are available today from Noctua’s official Amazon store and come with a six-year warranty. The standard version costs $44.95, while the all-black model is priced at $54.95.
