THE NH-DL9 & NH-D12L CHROMAX.BLACK

The 531g heavy NH-D9L chromax.black measures 110mm in height, 95mm in width and 95mm in depth whereas the 890g heavy NH-D12L chromax.black measures 145mm in height, 125mm in width and 113mm in depth (fans included).

Noctua has placed their logo on the top fins and as for the all-black theme well, it looks great.

As mentioned earlier both coolers are twin-tower models with the center section of their fins closed on both sides.

The front of the fins is designed in such a way to increase airflow levels.

In the above picture you can see the NF-A9 PWM chromax.black 92mm fan (2000RPM/46.43CFM/22.8dBA) used with the NH-D9L chromax.black and the NF-A12x25r PWM chromax.black 120mm fan (2000RPM/60.09CFM/22.6dBA) used with the NH-D12L chromax.black.

Without their fans mounted the NH-D9L chromax.black weighs just 437g and the NH-D12L chromax.black weighs 700g.

Both coolers feature 6mm all-copper heatpipes, the NH-D9L chromax.black just comes with 4 whereas the NH-D12L chromax.black comes with 5.

The all-copper base used in both coolers is nickel plated and doesn’t feature a mirror like finish.

These coolers don’t come with LGA2011-3 support so in order to make them compatible with my test rig Noctua send over their LGA2011-3 mounting kit.
