Greater than one weekGrabbed this as part of a major PC upgrade on black Friday. Seriously, read the specs on the size of this thing before buying, it is enormous. I had trouble getting everything in the case, and working around it to get all the cabling done was a nightmare, but I got it done and dont have to redo it for years, so its fine.

> 3 dayMounting of the cooling coils to the motherboard was relatively easy, the main problem is the included fans. The attachment method is not very secure and popped off during installation of the graphics card and yes, I was careful. I purchased the item because of the two fans. During installation the second fan is listed as optional. If you are using an ASUS ATI motherboard it is not optional, it cannot be used. The fan is too large and if installed will interfere with memory installation. Placing the fan on the side opposite of the memory places it too close to the case fan. CPU temperature is well within limits; however I have not tried any overclocking. If you are using an E-ATI motherboard this may be a good choice other then how secure the fan mounting is. It does allow different orientations, but anyway you put it, the second fan will interfere. Problem could have been avoided if they had used a fan size that matched the coil dimensions. Would not recommend.

> 3 dayGreat fan! One of the most awesome fans. The best fan. Fans cant get no greater than this fan. My Central AC should have this fan installed. Stupid AC. It couldnt fit inside my case tho, but booooy... if it could, I would have one awesome fan. The RAM was the only problem. Stupid RAM... get out of the way. Great fan btw.

> 3 dayKeeps your processors COOL. It is better, if not close to most Liquid coolers. Also keeps my system quiet!! My H80i V2 Set up would get loud under heavy loads while playing games. This baby keeps the same temperatures! At little to no noise at all. Key is the right thermal paste and correct mounting, some people don’t mount this thing correctly and this is why they get bad temps.

Greater than one weekExcellent cooler! whisper quiet! best cooler i think out there on the market as far as air goes and you cant go wrong with this stylish new black finish. mounting was a breeze when compared to an AIO cooler i used before i was able to install this easily without needing the help of another person

> 3 dayEs una de las mejores opciones de enfriamiento por aire , es bastante grande así que asegúrense de tener buen espacio en su gabinete, yo vi la instalación en youtube para no hacerme muchas bolas y fue sencillo, lo tengo con un i9 13900k y mantiene temps jugando al máximo de gráficos por un rango de 65 - 75 grados en una rtx 3090 ti, muy buena opción!!!

> 3 dayBest Non water cooler
The NH-D15 chromax.black is an all-black version of Noctua’s award-winning flagship model NH-D15 premium-quality quiet CPU cooler. Thanks to the same proven dual-tower heatsink design and NF-A15 PWM fans, it stays true to the NH-D15’s successful formula of rivalling the performance of all-in-one water coolers while maintaining superb quietness of operation. At the same time, the chromax.black version with its black fans and black coated heatsink combines these assets with a sleek stealth look. Topped off with the renowned SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua’s enthusiast-grade NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-D15 chromax.black is a deluxe choice for both overclockers and silent enthusiasts who seek an elite-class heatsink that looks just as great as it cools.

|---|---|---|---|
6 heatpipe dual-tower designAs compared to conventional single tower heatsinks, the NH-D15’s fine-tuned six heatpipe dual-tower design provides more surface area, better heat-distribution and superior airflow efficiency in dual-fan mode. |
Dual NF-A15 140mm fansThe NH-D15 features two of Noctua"s premium-class NF-A15 140mm fans. Complying with Noctua"s AAO standard and featuring sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A15 has quickly built up a reputation as one of the best 140mm fans on the market. |
High RAM compatibility in single fan modeThanks to its recessed lower fins, the NH-D15 provides 64mm clearance for tall memory heatsinks in single fan mode, making it compatible with most high-end RAM modules on the market. In dual-fan mode, the NH-D15 should be used with standard-height RAM (up to 32mm). |
Colour-customisableUsing the optional NA-HC3 and NA-HC4 heatsink covers as well as the NA-SAVP3 anti-vibration pads (available in black, blue, green, red, yellow, white), the NH-D15 chromax.black can be fully customised to fit popular build colour schemes such as black and red or black and white. |
