27-10-2024At first I was put off by the size of it but that quickly vanished when it came time to install. The installation is easy even for a somewhat novice builder as myself. It does take up a lot of room but that is minor. It comes with a noise reducer adapter but I didnt need it. The fans run so quiet I am not even aware its running. It does its job and keeps the CPU within normal temps. The only bad thing is that I will have to take it off to upgrade my RAM but I can live with that as it is so easy to install. Will consider Noctua again when it comes time for an upgrade.

> 3 dayThis thing is great. I went through 4 RMAed Corsair H100i coolers before buying this and the H100i couldnt even touch the temps this thing is getting on my stock 4670k.

> 3 dayI wanted to cool my i5 4690k. And wow does this work. I have managed to overclock it to 4.6ghz from 3.5, with temperatures rising to no higher than 70 Celsius under prime 95 stress testing.

> 3 dayI got this after my AIO cooler gave out. The best CPU cooler Ive ever used hands down. I cant hear it at all and Ive yet to get high temps. So quite my AIO was like a car engine by comparison and it cools way better and the price is way cheaper. Dont think Ill buy any other cooler again.

Greater than one weekThis thing is a monster! I couldn’t even fit both of the heatsink fans in my case. The ram wouldn’t allow the fan to go down far enough to put the side panel of my case on. So I’m using one fan and an exhaust case fan on the back. Everything seems very cool and no issues other than some of the aluminum fins were bent from the shipping. Damn UPS!
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. |
