The Noctua NH-L9i low profile Intel CPU cooler may not be the cooler of choice for the typical computer, but it is an excellent choice for those building up an extremely compact small form factor system. It was able to outperform another low profile coole...
Easy to install, Good performance, Silent, Thermal paste included
Price
