Noctua NH-D15 chromax.Black, Dual-Tower CPU Cooler (140mm, Black)

I dont know if you can do better for an air cooler, the Noctua NH-D15 keeps my overclocked 5800x idling around 30C (in a room with 21C ambient temps). Its bulky and requires consideration when placing it into your computer, but it feels incredibly secure on the motherboard, cables were easily managed, and the fans are incredibly quiet. I would recommend this to anyone who doesnt mind the bulk and just wants the cleanest, best-performing air cooler possible.

If you have the room this cooler is awesome. But its huge, really huge. It will fit over ram sticks with heat sinks but not with the second fan and if your GPU is placed in slot 1 you may have a tough time getting access to the release tab if you ever want to remove it. That being said the cooling aspect is as good as a tower cooler gets!

Kühlt meinen AMD Ryzen 5800X ohne Probleme und ist wie gewohnt sehr sehr leise :-)

This unit has a major flaw! Once installed in an ASUS ROG Crosshair X670E Hero motherboard you can not access the screws that hold down the M.2 SSD unit. You must install your M.2 before you install the Noctua CPU cooling tower. You can just abandon the M.2 under the Noctua cooling tower! I was so disappointed the other answer is to use liquid cooling and hope you dont have a problem with leaks!

Con un Ryzen 5 3600 y disipador de serie se ponia a 95C en test de stress. Ahora el mismo test lo pasa a 50C. En idle paso de 45C a menos de 30C. Como por potencia voy sobrado lo puedo tener a muy pocas vueltas y no se oye nada.

If you dont want the hassle of water loops or just the need to worry in general about evaporation from an AIO cooler then this is pretty much the best that money will buy. It wont perform as well as water cooling of course, but it gets close enough that it just becomes numbers that wont change much about your daily usage. Unless your job for some reason is to try your hardest to overheat CPUs with coolers on them then this is a fantastic buy.

Amazing!!!! Cant complain, easy to install and far superior that water cooling on my opinion!

Great cooler. Coming from a Cryorig H5 Ultimate/Universal. Noctua is pricy, but great craftsmanship and reliability. I have their Redux Fans too, for over 3 years now. Great Cooler for any CPU. Installation is super easy, just make sure you have the fans on in the correct spot, I experienced the shaving sound as soon as I started up the PC. At first I thought the Fan was hitting the frame or something, but it was grinding against the radiator. I had to re-adjust it a little to make it quiet. And it IS QUIET! Getting soon a Ryzen 3800XT, Ill let you know how it holds up against that beast.

I had another Noctua CPU cooler on there previously but it was getting too toasty when underload due to the GPU ramping up. But now with this beast crammed into the ATX case and a fan curve set, Im seeing an easy 20 C difference. Not only are all my temps cooler, but I tore out my house AC unit and now use it to cool my whole house. This thing keeps things under such control that NASA and SpaceX are using it on rockets to keep the capsules cool while going under re-entry through the atmosphere.

High quality CPU cooler... and quiet. Worth the price premium.
