Very effective for its sizes

Surprisingly effective cooler for its sizes. Works perfectly in combination with ryzen 5 7600, temperatures are always less than 75-80 in Velkase 5

Great Cpu Cooler for the Smallest of Small Builds

Great quality which you'd come to expect from Noctua as always. Very much meant for the smallest of small builds as it barely clears a basic vram heatsink in terms of height. Noctua level of quiet, barely can tell the fan is spinning sometimes. Can be a bit tricky to install but a lot easier than some other coolers on the market. If you need an incredibly small cpu cooler for the smallest of small pc builds, this is the one without a doubt.

Low-Profile AM5 Cooler for my Rackmount Server

There is a lot of confusion out there regarding AM5 processors and the higher temps being seen by people, regardless of the cooling solution they use.Noctua are the kings of air cooling in a lot of regards, and I use their products in almost all of my air cooled builds. I recently converted a tower mATX build into a rack mounted chassis so I could free up some desk space. Thus I needed a low profile cooling solution to cool my 7600X since the chassis I built in was only 2U. I obviously went with a Noctua solution, the Noctua NH-L9a-AM5.The server is used to run a Minecraft and Valheim server simultaneously, so there is always some load on the processor even when nobody is actively logged into either server.Temps at "idle" are usually around 60-65C, with spikes going as high as 95-100C. However those higher temperatures are only spikes, with the processor generally settling around 65-75C.The way these AM5 processors work is that they will ramp up power and clock speeds until they hit ~95C under a load, and then scale back so as to not ever go over that thermal maximum and cause damage the processor. It will go as fast as it can without going beyond that ~95C mark. So in a sense, the AM5 processors will fight against the cooling solution in order to get you the most performance without damaging the processor. This leads to higher idle and load temperatures.Some of this can be artificially controlled using BIOS/UEFI settings to limit what kind of temperature target you want to hit. Some of these options may vary depending on your motherboard manufacturer.However, the Noctua NH-L9a-AM5 is not doing a "bad job" if you are seeing higher than "normal" temperatures (i.e. temperatures you saw with AM4), as some reviewers would have you believe. The processor will be adjusting its power consumption and clock speeds so that it gives you the most performance that the Noctua NH-L9a-AM5 (or any cooler) can handle, unless you make changes to the default behavior of the processor manually. THAT is why people are seeing idle and load temps between 65-100C.All in all, I am happy with the Noctua NH-L9a-AM5's ability to cool my 7600X in such a small space with limited airflow. I did swap out the included low-profile fan for a Noctua NF-A9 to give it a little more fan power, but I can't really tell the difference in temps between that and the included fan.

Exactly what I needed

Easily fit into my 2U chassis. The stock cooler was well above the size for my chassis. This fit right in no problem. I did some research and it's a bit warmer than stock, but not by too much, so it's not a big deal. This isn't meant for extreme overclocking, it's mostly meant for tight spaces, which this excels.

Very impressive cooler for its size

I'm using this cooler on a R7 7800X3D in my mini ITX build. I replaced a thermalright axp90-x47 full copper with it, not because it performs better (it doesn't, but its not much worse and considerable shorter), but because the axp90-x47 got too close to my side panel and produced a lot of turbulence. If you can fit the axp90-x47 full copper I'd go with that and replace the fan with the one that comes with the NH-L9a, but otherwise you can't go wrong with the noctua.

Kind of a pain to install other than that amazing

You kind of have to awkwardly wobble it to screw it, seems they could've come up with something to make it a tad less annoying but I wouldn't really know.Other than that it's really silent and keeps low temps! great low profile cooler.

Best SFF cooler

Cools my 7500f perfectly

Once installed it's good.

The fan comes with four sets of screws. The screws go in the back of the MB. It is VERY tricky holding the fan on the chip after applying thermopaste while setting the screws. In defense of Noctua, you can't expect a low profile fan to have a clamping system. What would have been helpful is a plastic "frame like" device to keep the fan centered or maybe some click-in guides at the holes.
