Noctua NH-L9i-17xx: Only 37 mm tall and 65 W in silence

Results: Maximum performance

Very low profile, high cooling performance and Intel LGA 1700 support. These are demanding requirements that Noctua NH-L9i-17xx meets as one of the few coolers (maybe the only one?). The first two requirements could probably be argued about in others, but in the end it still comes down to the support for Intel’s new socket. Moreover, the NH-L9i-17xx outperforms even coolers twice its size, including the Arctic Alpine 17, with the right settings.

Results: Maximum performance



Why is there a missing value in the chart? The reason was that the cooler could no longer handle the load in the specified mode. However, the box coolers cannot be regulated to the lowest noise level of 31 dBA, because the whining fan motor starts to make significant noise at such low speeds.

DeepCool Mystique 360 – One display to rule them all

Cooling, CPU coolers, Extra tests | | Pavel Sekerka

In the time I’ve been testing coolers here, I’ve had several DeepCool coolers pass through my hands. Today I’ll add the Mystique 360 which is a new premium liquid cooler that boasts a large TFT display on the cooling block and improved fans that should offer high static pressure. The price of this cooler is also interesting for its class, so it remains to be seen how it will fare against a hot CPU in a test build.
