Noctua NH-U9S Chromax CPU Cooler - Black
Overview
The NH-U9S chromax.black is an all-black version of Noctuas award-winning
NH-U9S 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-U9Ss 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, Noctuas enthusiast-grade NT-H1 thermal compound
and a full 6-year manufacturers 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-U9S cooler
Tens of thousands of enthusiast users all over the world swear by the NH-U9Ss
quality and performance. Recommended by more than 100 international hardware
websites and magazines, it is renowned as being one of the best 92mm coolers on
the market.
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.
Colour-customisable
Using the optional NA-SAVP5 anti-vibration pads (available in black, blue,
green, red, yellow, white), the NH-U9S chromax.black can be fully customised to
fit popular build colour schemes such as black and red or black and white.
100% 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 RGB modules, large
heatspreaders or optional memory fans.
100% compatibility with PCIe cards on
mini-ITX
Many mini-ITX motherboards have the PCIe slot sitting close to the 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 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.
Dual fan ready
The NH-U9S chromax.black 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 chromax.black.swap fan in order to create a push/pull
setup.
SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system
Noctuas SecuFirm2 mounting systems have become synonymous with quality,
safety and easy installation. Supporting Intel LGA115x (LGA1150, LGA1151,
LGA1155, LGA1156, LGA1200) and LGA20xx (LGA2066, LGA2011-0, LGA2011-3), as well
as AMD AM4, AM3(+), AM2(+), FM2(+) and FM1, the SecuFirm2 mounting included with
the NH-U9S is straightforward to install, provides perfect contact pressure and
will stand the test of time even under heavy use.
Compatibility with past and future sockets
Thanks to Noctuas SecuFirm ecosystem, the NH-U9S can be made compatible with
the older LGA1366 and LGA775 sockets using the optional NM-I3 mounting kit,
which is provided free of charge. If technically possible, Noctua will also
provide upgrade kits for future sockets, which makes the NH-U9S a safe long-term
investment.
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.
Soldered interface between heatpipes and fins
With many heatsinks, the fins are press-fitted to the heatpipes. Due to the
different thermal expansion coefficients of copper and aluminium, this fit can
loosen over years of thermal cycling, which may lead to reduced performance. By
contrast, the NH-U9Ss fins are soldered to the heatpipes in order to guarantee a
superior thermal interface that doesnt deteriorate even after many years of
usage.
6-year manufacturers warranty
Noctua products are renowned for their impeccable quality and outstanding
longevity. True to this legacy, the NH-U9S heatsink is built to last and, like
all Noctua fans, the supplied NF-A9 units feature an MTTF rating of more than
150,000 hours. The entire package comes with a full 6-year manufacturers
warranty.
