I just wanted to share my little testing comparison I've done between the new released Noctua NH-L9i chromax.black vs. Alpenföhn Black Ridge with you guys:
Testing was done by running 5x Cinebench R15 in a row:
Noctua NH-L9i chromax.black + NF-A9x14 (92mm):
Min. 33°C
Max. 89°C
Alpenföhn Black Ridge + NF-A9x14 (92mm):
Min. 35°C
Max 84°C
During the test I've used the MSI B450i with latested AGESA 1003 ABBA and a RYZEN 3600 fixed on 4.2GHz all-core with 1.3875v + LCC Mode 3 (~1.40v under load) and 16GB Corsair LPX 3600MHz XMP CL18-22-22-42 (FCLK:MCLK:UCLK ratio 1:1) For both tests the same amount and thermalpaste was used with both coolers using the Noctua 92mm fan to get a better impression of the heatsinks performance.
In the previous Video I've tested the Black ridge with its stock 92mm fan, aswell with the Noctua NF-A12x15 (slim 120mm) fan configuration.
If you are interested in the results:
Alpenföhn Black Ridge + Stock Fan (92mm):
Min. 35°C
Max. 92°C
Alpenföhn Black Ridge + NF-A12x15 (120mm):
Min. 35°C
Max. 82°C
AMD Wraith Stealth:
Min. 41°C
Max. 92°C
Noctua NH-L9x65:
Min. 36°C
Max. 84°C
Thermalright AXP-100RH:
Min. 34°C
Max. 80°C

pretty much the same case with me (pun inteded) but looking at the chromax black vs the original, I learned to love the ugly poop brown..
what was the original ship date on your order? I believe their order system only notifies them to ship something when the date arrives that was on their order. This is what happened for a different product.. the product was in stock, but they didn't know to ship it until I emailed asking what was up.
My original ship date was Oct 18th and I received that shipping update on Oct 23rd.
