Noctua NH-L9i CPU fan 1155/1156 (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

Received yesterday, impeccable content, I performed some tests that I will share with you. The tower is an ATX tower but has a large fan on the side panel, which prevents to type a master fan cooler evo 212.
FYI, the case must be an older model of it:; ie = UTF8 & qid = 1405069197 & sr = 1-6 & keywords = + pc case
A Master TX3 cooler would probably back but I read that it was noisy, hence the orientation of my choice.
I was also not sure that a Noctua NH-U9B SE held in the housing, and the price was not justified for no or little overclocked cpu.
So the components are MSI Z87-g45 gaming coupled with an i5 4670K.
The input voltages are 1.760 (car), core / 1.144V Cache measured for max ratios of 41/39, adjustments have been made with the original intel Ventira not changed for temperature tests.
Testing with Prime95 28.5 disabling and FMA3 AVX instructions, this to be able to run the test with the original cooler. So the test is run on premium small FFTs which sends successively FFTs 12, 8, 14, 10, 16 by 5min slices, so I conducted a test of 25 minutes each, which is normally sufficient to saturate tower.
I used the supplied thermal paste NT-H1 (technical of the rice grain) because it is deemed good, for the one that was in place with the original cooler, it's not the original paste INTEL but either NT-H1 (used for the other tests) or the arctic silver 5 which is substantially equivalent or saves 1 ° C.
3 The tests were performed with an ambient temperature of 23 ° C, I will indicate that the max temperature of only unn, not to lose the uninitiated, but temperatures of 3 cores were about the same, and that of 4th still below, as for many haswells.

INTEL CPU cooler:
Idle: 30
Load: 91

Noctua with Low Noise Reducer (max speed 1800 rpm fan):
Idle: 30
Load: 85

Low Noise Reducer Noctua without (2500 rpm):
Idle: 30
Load: 78

A gain of 13 ° C (thus, which is not insignificant, I do not think the Low Noise Reducer be necessary given that one can generally define a profile in the bios.
I have made it 4 stars because if the assembly is very simple (you will still get the motherboard if the lower part the processor is closed), it is difficult to not to move the cooler in contact with the cpu, it which can lessen a bit the quality of the application of thermal paste, a second pair of hands at that moment, however, could do the trick.
