Way to go Noctua the D9 L cut my idol temp if half on my 4790 k. From 65 to 35 and under a stress test it never touched 70. I'm amazed. I might overclock this sucker. Thanks Noctua!
I just bought one of these for my "new" i7 2600K build in my Powermac G5 case. first official cooling tower I have used since I got rid of my old Q6600 with a tower heat sink on it. and WOW! I love how easy it is to mount compared to the tuniq tower on lga775.
One thing about the U9S is that you really need to buy a second fan and run it in push-pull configuration to get the best cooling result. In my own case I ran it with just the one fan on my mini-ITX rig with an AMD 7870K APU and under load the cooler was struggling a bit with just the one fan. The temperatures improved markedly when I added the second fan.
Bought both of these used for $20-25 ea. About ready to take my two Noctua fans off the U9S and triple up on the D9L. I have some silent wings 2 fans showing up for the U9S tomorrow. Both are cooling 7600x in Silverstone GL09 cases.
12:03 you say 100% RAM compatability, but the ram sticks are placed in the 2nd and 4th slot. I'm pretty sure the first slot ends up being blocked. Am I wrong? I opened it up in full screen and it really doesn't look like a stick could fit in the first slot at all.
i wish future reviewers for this type of cooler "Low Profile" can test it on a mini itx mobo instead of a full size mobo sorry for my english its not my native language.
I have an mATX board with the u9s in push pull (I bought a second fan) and the cooler barely clears the graphics card. That said, my i7 8700 ran full throttle all cores for 2 hours and didn't top 82° C.
Great review. I'm thinking about getting the U9S into a 4U case. I was recommended for C14S instead from Noctua, however after watching your video I'm leaning towards the U9S again because I agree with the airflow being better than top down coolers.
I'm server racking my son's gaming PC and my gaming PC on one rack and running fiber optic to our individual workstations. I've decided on the NH D9L for his 7700k and the NH U9S with the extra pull fan for my 5900X. Wish me luck.
Thermalright Silver Soul 110 is basically a copy of the D9L. I own both and the TSS 110 mounts exactly the same as the D9L. And it comes in black or white. I have push/pull 92mm on one tower and 80mm push on the other. Handles my OC 5600x way better than the prism it replaced. By at least 6c.
Goose's Channel Thanks! Unless you are tight for space, I would hold off changing out the SRS, the performance on that is close to the Cryorig H5 I used for comparison.
I’m surprised the extra heat pipe doesn’t help as much as we’d think on the U9S I wanted to try compare to my dual in-line D9DX. I thought extra fin height & pipe would matter more
awesome , about time a manufacturer pay attention to mini gaming system if we are building boards and cases why not the cooler, I know some folks will say go water cooling I suffer a big lost with water cooling and will never go that way again I do a lot of small case build and this will be just right ,this revue caught me off guard just because I thought this was another version of the cooler world AWESOME REVUE I would love to see a follow-up on mini cases that will fit well with small coolers and the top 5
Nono Bonono I got fx 8350 oc 4.6 18c 55c on u9se 2 fans push and pull love that cooler I'm looking to get the u12 it taller and more pipes for ryzen r5 1600x but I'm going to use my u9se 1st and see what temps I get fx oc run hot so I might not need the u12se se is 2 fans push and pull.
Yes is possible. Just need 1 extra set of clips, the fan and the space. Usually an extra fan will gain you 1c-2c tops. I run three 140mm Noctua fans on my D15.
is the fan cable sleeve on those fans sticky at all? I bought a noctua L9i hoping to have the same quality as these heatsinks you showed, but 1st the fan cable sleeve was sticky. Could it be heat damaged? Also the finish on the heatsink and cpu contact point had a bunch of circular machining marks that i could see and feel with my fingers. It was not a mirror sparkling finish like your D9L and U9S. there were also some machining marks on the mounting brackets. the heatsink did not perform well (86C max temps on a stock clocked i7 6700K). Are these considered defects? because I want to return it. Also the box did not have any sort of manufacturer's seal to guarantee no one has opened/used it before.
+JammerAUS That is what the series was initially designed for some years ago, and it still undergoes ASUS' server grade testing rather than the less stringent consumer testing.
So....spend three times the price on a basic kit (XSPC is the least expensive at $149), and try to fit it into a case with absolutely no support for liquid cooling to cool a CPU easily cooled with a $40 air cooler? That sounds like just a great idea.....
I know you made this comment years ago, but you can actually prolong your cpu life with overclocking as crazy at it may sound haha. I have a 4790k, and running the stock 4ghz with everything in the bios set to auto (including turbo boost) it runs with a crazy voltage I don't remember the number offhand but it was like 1.35v I overclocked it to 4.4ghz running at 1.2v and it runs faster and cooler at the same time. I don't even have a cooler as beefy as this one, I have a Raijintek Aidos (roughly equal to a 212 evo)
@HiTechLegion -- If you decide to do newer video with these Noctua NH coolers you could add the Alseye ST90/DR90 cooler to this comparison. This cooler is a 92mm dual tower similar setup to the Noctua NH-D9L. ruclips.net/video/uz6p6r7rWSc/видео.html

? Put fan in pull position and its good.
There's a lot of space between them but the camera angle makes tricky to see.
Only 2 sticks typically means you go 2-4 not 1-2

Best review on these fans, thank you. I bought the U9S on the back of this. Excellent cooler, so much better than the Amd stock fan. Worth every cent.
you are much better then linus cause you post the fans i been researching for weeks

finally a good video on this. thank you for not being annoying and cringey like a lot of the others i've watched for these coolers.

Scott, how did the 5900X with NH-U9S (with extra fan) workout for you ? Any overheating issues ?
@@markbradbury5266 works great!
Excellent video on these two coolers and very useful benchmarks

how about ss110 vs D9L bro?
Thanks George. Good coolers and a great review as always. Makes me want to switch out my Shadow Rock Slim!
Goose's Channel Thanks!
Unless you are tight for space, I would hold off changing out the SRS, the performance on that is close to the Cryorig H5 I used for comparison.
Great video...This one convinced me to get the NH-U9b. Fantastic little cooler!
Thanks George, Im liking the preinstalled crossbar on these, thats always been an irritation with me.

I want to use my NH-D9xD9 i4 3U on a mini itx but I need a LGA1200 kit. But I like the ThermalRight APX-100 Copper.

There's another set of screws in the bag, with a coil on both sides of the head. What are those for?
for socket 2011 and 2011-3
good question
Love these coolers and I love your review
I bought the U9S it doesn't fit on my AMD 3+ I ordered the other one, it on the way hope that fit?
Will this fit on acer predator orion 3000 po3-630
Can you swap the brown fan with the Noctua 92mm black and gray one ?
Every standard 92 mm fan should fit.
Will this work with an Antec P50? Also, will it work with an i7-7700k?
Is this cooler for LGA1150 ? Sorry for bad English
Honza Štěpán Yes, it is compatible with 1150/55/56
Thanks
Just realised i have mounted the backplate upside down will this make a difference?
Im gettin a d9dx noctua would i be able to put a 120 fan on it
Really weird stuff, there are other review sites that actually states the D9L is a bit cooler than the U9S, and of course the other way around.
Nono Bonono I got fx 8350 oc 4.6 18c 55c on u9se 2 fans push and pull love that cooler I'm looking to get the u12 it taller and more pipes for ryzen r5 1600x but I'm going to use my u9se 1st and see what temps I get fx oc run hot so I might not need the u12se se is 2 fans push and pull.
So... no difference between those two?
Would this be good for a Cooler Master Silencio 352 miniu case?
Do you know if a 3 fan setup on the D9L would be overkill/is possible
Yes is possible. Just need 1 extra set of clips, the fan and the space. Usually an extra fan will gain you 1c-2c tops. I run three 140mm Noctua fans on my D15.
I understand this was made over a year ago, and they said "future sockets" but does this support the 1151 socket type for Skylake?
+kingpinneapple188 I believe that you may have to buy a separate back plate but yes it should be compatible. *not conclusive*
+Brendan Bassett Alright, I'll read up on it :) thanks
+kingpinneapple188 ok cool. does it work?
Thanks, Still relavent today
Do you think I can get my 8320 to 4.5 ghz with the D9L?

I'd probably return that if you havent already. sounds very odd all things considered, but most likely just a poorly handled/packaged product.
Did you just say that the Asus Sabertooth was a server board that was brought over to the mainstream?
+JammerAUS That is what the series was initially designed for some years ago, and it still undergoes ASUS' server grade testing rather than the less stringent consumer testing.
Agree re the testing but the board started off as a consumer board. Never as a server board.
can i cool a i5 2500k overclocked on 4.3 ghz?
From the top view it looks like the fan on the U9S blocks the first ram slot. Can you confirm that?
Angel Luis Trinidad Simply the camera angle. Both of these coolers have no interference with RAM slots, just as stated in the video.
George Cella could you point me to some pictures. Thank you.

Thermal Paste???
what program did u use to stresstest?
Anybody know if the NH-U9S will fit my HP Z420? I'm getting very high temps on my Xeon e5-1650

Wait do I have to remove the fan on the NH-D9L to install it?
not that difficult
It will hold my i5 4690k on 4.5 ghz at good temperature?
well tutorial. Thank you.
Would you recommend the u9s over the cryorig h7?
if it performs just as well, if not better than the h5 (as seen with an overclock), definately.
Can I cool an I7-4790K with the NH-U9S? (I'm not going to overlock)
+Matias Talevi Yes would work fine
***** there is no difference in price with no k series where I live
***** Should I? I mean I use my computer for video edition
+Matias Talevi if you can swing it safely then yeah! if you are gaming then id say no

cool coolers bro
If your using full atx board and atx case, why bother with small coolers.
Case width and memory interference.
Some reviews say D9L is better. some say U9S is... then theres this which pretty much says they're equal
technically they are not Low Profile...
why do they insist on these ugly colors?
