To anyone that is running an i7 8700k with the noctua nh-l9i cooler, what are your temps?
I don't have the stock thin 90mm fan on it anymore so I'm curious to see what it can achieve :p

Hi I used the Noctua L9i in two cases - the Node 202 and NFC's Skyreach 4 Mini

TEMPS in NODE 202:


  • Idle - low/mid 40c - high50c

  • Gaming - mid 55c - 78c
TEMPS in Skyreach 4 Mini

  • Idles - 36c-38c

  • Gaming - 68c (Dark Souls 3, 1080p Max, Nier Automata, 1080p Medium)

    I didnt undervolt - because I have no idea so I just disabled Hyperthreading instead



    Honestly I couldnt believe how different the temps were.

Did you record or remember what the temps were before and after you disabled HT?
I am curious about a build I am doing with a 6700K and was wondering about cooling w/ L9i
