Review: High quality and Low noise - Many of these reviews are spot on. I used this on a i5 13500. The stock cooler was very noisy. While I do have a ASUS TUF gaming mobo with 32GB RAM and a RTX3060, this is not really meant for gaming. I just don't like slow rigs. So this cooler should suffice in terms of temps. So I ended up going with this low profile CPU cooler even though my box is full size. Just taking it out I can see the good quality. And when installed, there is a significant improvement in fan noise, this thing is really silent. I agree with the reviewer who said more than two hands is useful. I held the cooler while someone else put in the screws from behind the motherboard. And in my case, I had to remove the motherboard screws and take half outside, because my case did not provide access to couple of the screws behind the motherboard while installed.
Review: An absolute must for your Small Form-Factor(SFF) PC Builds! - My AIO was not working as well as it should have, and I needed a fast solution since my idle temperatures kept climbing relentlessly... nearly 85°C! To avoid long term damage to the other components, I replaced my NZXT H1 v1 small form factor(SFF) rig's OEM AIO Cooler/Fan completely, and solely used the NOCTUA NH-L9i-17xx chromax.black instead. The difference was immediate, and the temperatures easily are in the high 30°C to low 40°C range when idle. I am thoroughly impressed with the quieter fan as well. Excellent product, that I can highly recommend to other users.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute must for your Small Form-Factor(SFF) PC Builds!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Will work with 12600k if undervolted
*by L***G on April 21, 2022*

I'm writing this review as I was looking for a Mini ITX CPU Cooler and the information at this time can be very limited. First off, I wouldn't recommend this for a K series CPU (especially 12700k/12900k), but if you want this to work for a 12600k it CAN be done at decent temps. At base clocks for normal daily tasks/light gaming it will do fine around 60-70C. But this will throttle if running max load (will reach 100C within minutes). With an undervolt of -.075 I was able to keep temps below 90C at max load for 20min. Cinebench scores were stable and were about the same as before. During gaming I am getting around 55C now. Definitely do not get this cooler if you want to overclock the 12600k (again do not get this cooler at all for a 12700k/12900k); but this is an excellent cooler for its size. Also your results may vary depending on your case; I did my testing on the Meshilicious.
