    Super huge, I cannot run my video card in the first slot, had to move it down.

    Un i7 10700k a 4.8 ghz sta a 60 gradi. Non credo serva aggiungere altro se non ripetere il titolo della mia recensione.

    I installed the NH-D15 for 4790K in a Cooler Master HAF XB EVO case. The cooling is nearly silent and 10-15 degrees Centigrade cooler than the CM 212 EVO it replaced. It is the easiest large air cooler I have installed by far. The only downsides are (1) it required very low profile ram if you use both fans (any ram will work in an Intel 1150 board if you use only one fan), and (2) it is very heavy which could be a problem in cases with a vertically mounted motherboard. The only trick in the installation is to make sure both mounting screws are started before you tighten either of them down - the manual is not kidding about that!

    I had heard nightmare stories about AIO CPU coolers (All in One- A.K.A. closed loop water coolers), leaks destroying components, short lifespans, loud pumps, and the like. I decided to go with Noctua for all of my case fans as well (I got the 3000RPM Industrial fans for their robustness and quiet perfomance). Needless to say, I am extremely impressed with all of them. I have an i7-6700k under this massive cooler, and boy, does this thing cool. Running Aida 64 (stress tester; maxes CPU) the max Temp was 65° (C), with an average of only 62°, idling around 28°. Seeing these results, I decided to overclock it. I kept the voltage the same, but increased the clock speed to 4.6Ghz (factory overclock is 4.2). My Aida 64 Temps were even more impressive, still staying below 70° (YMMV). The average jumped to 67°, with a max of 69°. If you dont know, these Temps are well within the safe range for load Temps. Its performance does come at a price though, both in price, and in size. The saying rings true here: you get what you pay for. I wanted the best performance, but I paid $90 for that. The thing is absolutely massive too. When I took my PC down to college, I decided to lay the PC on its side to minimize the effect bumps would have on the cooler. It arrived without any damage, and works perfectly, but I still got extremely nervous every time I hit a bump. It also comes with an outstanding 6 year warranty, at which point I probably will have replaced many of my components, thankfully, noctua understand this, and send out adapters for new Motherboards/sockets at your request, free of charge. Even at 100% fan speed, they are not very loud, but they never come close to full speed. Under a gaming load they are inaudible, and under Aida 64, they are little more than a whisper. If you cant fit, or dont want to fit this monster in your PC, Id highly recommend a different Noctua cooler. It seems to me that Noctua practices TQM (total quality management), with their dedication to quality products and customer service. It seems that every day, another big company puts profits over quality, and in the end, lose money, along with customers. Needless to say, it is a breath of fresh air to see a company who genuinely puts customers first. Off the top of my head I can only think of one other company on par with Noctua, and that is Discover (Credit Card company/bank). This is a huge compliment to both companies. When you call, you almost immediately get a real person, that you can easily understand because their employer hasnt moved the support overseas. Noctua, you have acquired a lifelong customer.

    Super Luftkühler. Nicht günstig, aber kühlt gut. Kühle damit meinen Ryzen 9 5900X und die höchste CPU-Temperatur die ich beobachtet habe ist 72° Celsius, habe die Lüfterkurve aber auch so eingestellt dass ab 60° C die Lüfter schon mit 80% oder mehr ihrer Höchstgeschwindigkeit drehen und ab 70°C die Maximale Lüftergeschwindigkeit erreicht wird. Man hört die Lüfter damit schon, aber kann sicher auch etwas niedrigere Lüfterdrehzahlen einstellen, um die Lautstärke zu verringern, wenn man etwas höhere Temperaturen in Kauf nimmt.

    Replaced my h100i v2 with this and the results in both noise reduction and cpu temp reduction are huge. CPU temp is now around 5-10 centigrade cooler and even when testing at 100% it is incredibly quiet. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

    Brilliant fan for my setup, old CPU cooler was causing my CPU to reach into the 70c, with this, i have not seen my CPU temp go above 40c

    Kühler ist schnell gekommen. Einbau in mein Be Quiet Gehäuse war leicht. Der beste Luft Kühler den ich kenne.

    dissipatore veramente enorme, occhio alle dimensione del case, io ho dovuto alzare leggermente la ventola frontale per non farla battere sulle ram a basso profilo e mi tocca la paratia del mio case, un corsair c70, naturalmente svolge egregiamente il suo lavoro, ho un vecchio i5 3570k occato a 4.2 e le temperature in gioco non superano i 55-56 gradi, su prime 95 non vado oltre i 66-67, la facilità di montaggio è veramente una bella cosa, era il mio primo dissipatore e lho montato in meno di 15 minuti dando solo una occhiata veloce alle istruzioni, dentro poi cè di tutto, dalla pasta termica di ottima qualità al cacciavite bello lungo per avvitare senza dover faticare, anche limpatto acustico è minimo, in idle praticamente non si sente, in full lo si percepisce a malapena, uno dei dissipatori ad aria migliori in circolazione

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 layout

Compared 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 mode

Thanks 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 fans

The 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 compound

Noctua"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.

6 heatpipe dual tower design

As compared to conventional single tower heatinks, 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.
