Noctua's NH-U9B SE2 cooler is a special edition of the NH-U9B cooler for HTPCs or smaller cases. The NH-U9B SE2 now comes with two of Noctua's NF-B9 92mm fans and adds support for LGA1156 as well as LGA1366 via the latest SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system. It also supports AMD's AM2, AM2+ and AM3 systems.
The cooler has been designed to offer users quiet cooling, a performance level close to its bigger brothers while being much more compact. The supplied Low-Noise and Ultra-Low-Noise-Adaptors allow for full flexibility in fine-tuning the cooler for more quietness or maximum performance in push-pull mode.
