Dear customer,
The NH-D9L is a premium grade dual tower CPU cooler that has
been designed to provide excellent quiet cooling performance
at a height of only 110mm. Its comparably low profile (15mm
lower than classic 9cm tower coolers such as the NH-U9S)
doesn’t only guarantee full 3U compliance but also makes the
NH-D9L ideal for compact HTPC and Small Form Factor cases.
Enjoy your NH-D9L!
Yours sincerely,
Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO

Applying thermal paste
If there are residual traces of thermal paste or thermal pads on
your CPU, please clean them off first. Then press a small drop
(4-5mm diameter) of NT-H1 onto the centre of the heatspreader.
Step 2
Caution: Applying too much thermal paste will lower the heat
conductivity and cooling performance!
