Noctua NH-D9DX i4 3U — LGA 2011 Square-ILM
Used cooler — cosmetic wear, minor scuffs, light dust residue. Some fins are slightly bent, which doesn’t affect thermal performance. Fan spins freely, no cracks, no broken parts. This isn’t a display piece, and it’s documented as-is.
Mounting this cooler requires a 2.5mm hex / Allen key that isn’t included, and there’s no original box, accessories, or thermal paste — just the heatsink, fan, and Square-ILM bracket, pulled straight off a working dual-socket Xeon system.
Pulled from the same Z10PE-D16 build — read the full teardown on the blog.
