The NH U9B SE2 arrives in a traditionally styled Noctua box – which we love.

Inside there are two boxes, one with the heatsink sandwiched between protective cardboard, and another box which holds the fitting kits and extra 92mm fan which is supplied by Noctua. The same gatefold style manual package is supplied with left side for Intel and right side for AMD fitting. There are also adapter cables to slow down fan speeds for reduced noise levels. More on this later.

The heatsink itself is very attractive, as are all Noctua products – the engineering quality is exceptionally high and it shows.

The heatsink is shipped with a plastic protective cover on the base which helps to stop any marking during rough shipping. We have never had a Noctua protect arrived damaged yet, and they all are shipped internationally from several thousand miles away.

The top of the heatsink has an embossed Noctua OWL logo and the heatpipes extrude from here to dispel heat.
