Noctua Releases NH-L9x65 Cooler and NF-A6x25 Fan 3
Vienna, March 11th 2015 - Continuing its recent focus on premium grade 
cooling components for compact systems such as ITX based gaming or Home 
Theater PCs, Noctua today released its new NH-L9x65 low-profile cooler 
and a 4-pin PWM version of its popular NF-A6x25 60mm fan. While the 
latter adds PWM support for automatic speed control to the proven 
NF-A6x25 design, the NH-L9x65 is a taller, performance-enhanced version 
of Noctua's award-winning NH-L9 low-profile coolers.

"Our NH-L9 coolers have become a default choice for customers seeking 
premium grade quiet coolers in the sub-40mm class, but with a height of 
only 37mm, their performance is inevitably limited", explains Mag. 
Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO), "The new NH-L9x65 provides the increased 
performance necessary to cool high end CPUs quietly while still offering 
excellent case and component compatibility."

Due to its compact heatsink and the renowned 14mm thin NF-A9x14 PWM fan, 
the NH-L9x65 stands only 65mm tall (the same height as low-profile 
expansion cards), which makes it ideal for use in compact HTPCs or Small 
Form Factor cases that offer limited clearance for CPU coolers. With 65 
instead of 37mm height and four instead of two heatpipes, the NH-L9x65 
is more powerful than its smaller siblings yet retains their 95x95mm 
footprint, which guarantees 100% RAM and PCIe compatibility on Intel 
based ITX mainboards and makes the cooler more convenient to work with 
as it doesn't overhang near-socket connectors.

Topped off with the professional SecuFirm2™ multi-socket mounting system 
for Intel and AMD, Noctua's renowned NT-H1 thermal compound and 6 years 
manufacturer's warranty, the NH-L9x65 fuses everything users have come 
to expect from Noctua's larger coolers into a compact premium package 
for space restricted systems.

"With the trend towards highly compact, ITX based builds, 60mm fans are 
in demand again", says Mag. Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO), "Since more and 
more ITX mainboards offer PWM speed control on the case fan header or 
even multiple PWM headers, we're now providing a 4-pin PWM version of 
our popular, award-winning NF-A6x25 model."

The new PWM version of the NF-A6x25 sports Noctua's custom designed 
NE-FD1 IC for fully automatic speed control via 4-pin fan headers and 
comes with a Low-Noise-Adaptor to reduce the maximum speed during PWM 
control from 3000 to 2300rpm. Its superb running smoothness, SSO2 
bearing and Noctua's trusted premium quality make it an elite 60mm 
choice for the highest demands.
