The NH-U9B continues the legacy of Noctua's classic NH-U coolers, which won over 150 awards and recommendations from leading international websites and magazines. Due to its compact size, the NH-U9B is perfect for HTPCs and small cases as well all as other applications that don't provide sufficient space for its bigger brother NH-U12P. Bundled with Noctua's award-winning NT-H1 thermal compound and fitted with the new NF-B9 fan, the NH-U9B offers outstanding quietness and excellent performance levels close to the NH-U12P.
