Cooling Noctua "Black Out" Chromax Line

[jack1940]

I have no say in SFFLab products as they are a standalone company, FYI. I can influence but I have no definitive determination in deciding dimensions.

Yes, so we need to pay enough attention and communicate clearly.

That cooler is for 140mm fans, it isn't 140mm tall. It says on the card it's based on the NH-U14S, so it's probably the same height (165mm).

Noctua has indicated in the past that they have no interest in developing an intermediary cooler between the ~130mm tall C-type and 92mm-fan tower coolers, and the full size ~160mm coolers.

I'll ask the Noctua technicians in charge of our area.
But I wonder why Noctua has prepared a C-type cooler under 145 mm, but not a D&U-type cooler under 145 mm.
The real reason, I think, is that they need to redesign the mould. They need more time.
（It's awkward. Side plate opening is not a common practice. It's a good choice for ITX, but 142mm is obviously too high. Embarrassment...）

They do: the NH-U9S and NH-D9L.

You're right, but the effect is just to meet the demand. Maybe they will continue to optimize U9/D9, such as 7 heatpipes U9/D9 A.
NH-U9 TR4-SP3
In addition, I think that the improvement of 7NM process will control TDP more effectively.

Anyone that knows when the slim 92mm fan will be released?...

@Dawelio - it says Q4 2019 on their website.

You ordered a L9i and not the L9a? Or is there only a blacked out L9i?

Edit: Checked Amazon, guess there's only the L9i Chromax variant.

Yeah, I think they focused on the i-variant since that one fits both intel and AMD boards, but the a-variant only fits AMD.

It's uncanny to see a black build and then know that is a Noctua cooler AND fan.

Still no love for the u9s?

 

[rfarmer]

Check out the Noctua product page, they have both the 120x15 and 92x14 Chromax fans listed now.

oooh! i like the look of this: its the higher rpm (2500) fan from the l9i/a! will be good for anyone wanted to add it to another heatsink. looks like rrp is 20 bucks tho: ouch

sidebar: can noctua use our money to spend more on webhosting? their website is probably the worst ive (attempted) to visit in years

 

[Dawelio]

The slim 92mm fan can now be purchased over at Amazon: Here

Whoa, can you imagine how much they'd cost if they blew all the R&D money pioneering black fans on modern websites? /s

On the subject of the higher RPM 92mm fan does anyone know what would be a better swap for my L9a? The Noctua NF-A9x14 HS-PWM has an airflow of 57,5 m³/h, while the Noctua NF-A9 PWM has an airflow of 78,9 m³/h.
