Noctua coolers are no brainers when it comes to air cooling. As long as you are OK with Noctua's colour scheme. Despite a 92mm Heatsink and fan, it's thermal performance is commendable and fits nicely in smaller/budget cases very well. This U9S should just be sufficient to keep things under control and keep things quiet for all non-K Intel processors.


Extremely low profile, you will be hard pressed to find a cooler smaller than this. Quiet, I never hear this thing running, even under heavy gaming load. Tiny footprint, literally compatible with everything. Cools just as expected (see other thoughts).

-Brown fans -Comes with brackets and backplates for multiple cpu configurations


Great price Exceptional cooling ability RGB and white is great for those who like it Well built and designed Easy to install

Use on an i9-9900k build. Use bios to run fan @1800rpm. CPU stays between 31 - 45 C



reduced cost, but not reduced quality Significant improvements in thermals and noise across the board


Cooler fits into a Lian Li A3 with no height issue. Its been years now that I've used a air cooler - for the past 5 pc builds throughout the years building gaming PC's I've used a AIO from different brands. I'll tell you now I'm shocked to say air coolers have gotten better. I forgot the benifits of a air cooler over a AIO setup. The fan noise is more bearable over the humming sound you get from fans pushing through a radiator. The operaing temps with 100% cpu usage seems to not throttle my build in any way. I am now convince to jump back into air cooler wagon. As long you do your research about the tdp of the cpu you have - finding a air cooler to handle it would be idea over getting a AIO as a cooling solution.

Great performance and quiet.
