Noctua is an Austrian company that's relatively new to the cooling scene but is already making a name for itself with its high-performance, low-noise cooling products. A couple of months ago OCC reviewed the Noctua H-U12P heatsink which was an upgrade to their previous NH-U12 model. Noctua is not a company to rest on its laurels, so just barely three months after releasing the NH-U12P, they continue the trend with the new NH-U9B, a more compact CPU cooler featuring the new NF-B9 92mm fan. Just like its larger sibling, the upgrade improves performance without sacrificing its impressive noise (or lack of) levels. The NF-B9 fan can pump out 64.3 m³/h at only 17.6dBA. The NH-U9B comes with NT-H1 thermal paste and is ideally suited for HTPCs and smaller cases. Backed by a six-year warranty the new model is available immediately with a suggested price of EUR 46.90 / USD 54.90.
