Noctua packaged this really well and it all feels sturdy and secure.
Inside the box we have a set of spare fan-clips for second NF-A9, Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A.), NT-H1 high-grade thermal compound, a Noctua Metal Case-Badge and a screwdriver.
The heatsink and fan itself is clean and compact. The fan is PWM allowing for a greater control and management of the noise and cooling performance.
Clean design all the way round.
Next, the ultra shiny bit and testing.

If you want big block CPU cooler performance in your small chassis, this maybe for you. From a consumer experience point of view, there isn’t anything bad about this cooler, and there is a lot good about it, though go for the two fan option, and you will sleep well at night.
