> 3 dayVery quiet, very cool, very big. Nuff said. Check your case and motherboard for clearance first. I can confirm it works on an ASUS Z97-Pro within a Fractal Design R4.

> 3 dayit comes neatly packaged, parts for AMD and Intel motherboards, its heavy, its massive, its easy to install, comes with thermal paste and a decent screwdriver, good instructions, fits easily in the Fractal Design R5 case, so far it is keeping the AMD FX 9590 cpu nice and cool but i havent tested it under heavy load yet. I am very happy with the colossus Noctua NH-D15

> 3 dayDead quiet. Keeps Intel Core i7-6850K Processor under 40C without even trying. Love it. Noctua is the best.

> 3 dayits hard trying to get the right one of these air coolers. many builders are switching to fluid alternatives but i didnt want to take a chance with leaks or pump failures. i have an 11th gen k processor which can be overclocked and in doing so, the temps rise quickly and dramatically under load.

Greater than one weekI purchased this for a new build PC. Id changed the case and found that this was marginally too large for the case. The Austrian company was really good and fast to process the refund (on return of goods - free postage) I would buy from these again.

> 3 dayThe front fan wont clear my RAM. Putting it in the back wouldnt clear the shroud over my capacitors. So I opted to run with one fan. I had an issue, so Ive had to remove/re-install it a couple of times, and without fail, Ive spilled my own blood. Those fins are SHARP! That having been said, my PC runs cooler, which is why I bought it. There is no worry with water blocks and radiators, which is exactly what I wanted.

> 3 dayThis is the second fan of Noctua I have got. This is a minor improvement on the D14 but be aware of the space you need in your case to use it.

> 3 dayDidnt fit onto my motherboard which the manufacturer claims to be compatible with this cooler. Shame because I would have liked to use the product vs returning it as soon as I opened the package.

> 3 dayInstallation was easy but now these are the biggest fans in my build. Scratched my gpu backplate installing but my Ryzen 5800x never gets above 60 c now. Highly recommend if you are running a usually hot CPU. This thing really blows

Built on the basis of the legendary NH-D14 and carrying on its quest for ultimate quiet cooling performance, Noctua’s flagship model NH-D15 is an elite-class dual tower cooler for the highest demands. Its expanded heatpipe layout and two premium grade NF-A15 140mm fans with PWM support for automatic speed control allow it to further improve the NH-D14’s award-winning efficiency. Topped off with the trusted, pro-grade SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-D15 forms a complete premium quality solution that represents a deluxe choice for overclockers and silent-enthusiasts alike.

Widened fin stack and expanded heatpipe layoutCompared to the NH-D14, the NH-D15"s fin-stack has been widened from 140 to 150mm and its heatpipes are now spaced further apart, which allows for a more uniform heat distribution over a larger surface area and thus contributes to the NH-D15"s superior efficiency. |
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). In chassis with more than 165mm CPU cooler clearance, the front fan can be moved upwards to make room for memory modules taller than 32mm. |
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. |
NT-H1 thermal compoundNoctua"s much-acclaimed NT-H1 is a well proven pro-grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease-of-use and outstanding reliability, which makes it suitable for use in professional server and workstation environments. |
