Summary:

The similarities between the NH-U9B SE2 and the NH-U12P SE1366 are easy to see. The NH-U9B SE2 is basically a miniature version of the NH-U12P SE1366 and is designed for smaller enclosures. The NH-U9B SE2 performance is on par with its bigger brother and features much of the same technology. The Secufirm2 mount system makes installation of the NH-U9B SE2 simple.

The Vortex Control Notches on the fan keep things whisper quiet while maintaining low temps especially if using the Low Noise and Ultra Low Noise Adapters with the NF-B9 fans.

If you are running a HTPC or a system within a small enclosure then I would be hard pressed to find a better cooler than the NH-U9B SE2. If you own a gaming machine or have a large spacious case then you may be best served picking up its big brother – the NH-U12P. Either way you can’t go wrong.
