Noctua NH-L9i CPU Cooler...

Would this cooler work on a i7 4790K?

No, it will not! The i7-4790K is specifically excluded in Noctua's compatibility list for the NH-L9i which says 'Cooler cannot handle base clock'.

I just googled "Noctua's compatibility list" and found the info... Thanks!

I'll see if I can find a non K or S,T instead.

I have a spare i5-4690T but I'm away from home until next Tuesday. You'd need to have been here long enough and have enough posts to gain entrance to the Members Market though.

Picked up a non K... Thanks for the offer though! :cool:

The L9i is not much better than the stock intel cooler. Wouldn't bother with it

How tall is a stock cooler, would it fit in a 1U case? :confused:
