> 3 dayThis is the daddy of all air coolers, its absolutely massive. Whether you use 1 fan or 2 youre best off buying this one as its MUCH cheaper than buying another fan later. I have 4 dimms installed and managed to keep the front fan by mounting it just above the dimm heatsinks and it is almost in contact with my side panel at the top. Anyone with a shallow case and 4 dimms installed will likely have to use only 1 fan. It is whisper quiet whilst gaming, I upgraded from an old Arctic A30 which made an unpleasant tone when the CPU was at 40-50 degrees, this you do not hear at all. I do not have either fan on a resistor, Im using the PWM to control speeds via the BIOS.

> 3 dayLeider passt der zweite Lüfter nur in Gehäuse die mindesten eine Breite 24 -25 cm haben also nicht in ATX Standard. Leider reicht die Kühlung für einen AMD Ryzan 9 7950 nicht mehr aus daher werde ich den Kühler zurückschicken. Für alle anderen die eine etwas entspanntere CPU haben wird er mehr als ausreichend sein. Geräuschpegel ist superleise. Leider ist der Kühler etwas überteuert muss ich sagen.

> 3 dayI have a i7 7700k which is insanely hot but with this heatsink my temps are fine now. I was using a pretty cheap heatsink before and temps would hit up to 80-90c under heavy load. With the NH-D15 my tests so far look great. 29-31c idle and hitting 60c top in heavy use while gaming. Huge improvement for me.

> 3 dayThis replaced my Ttake Frio Advanced for an i7-4930. This is noticeably quieter and the processor runs about 5 degrees cooler at idle. Its beautifully made and packaged compactly, with the ability to have one or two fans simply by unclipping one. Be careful to check the width of your case as it is very tall.

> 3 dayExcellent cooler that comes with quiet fans and accessories. Larger dimensions of the heatsink fits into the define r5 case. Mounting system is easy to install. Reduced temps and low maintenance (dust resistant fans). I couldnt ask for more from this price range compared to all in one and custom water cooling options

> 3 dayGreat fan! Kinda ugly but keeps my 8700K a nice cool 45c when running heavy VR.

> 3 dayMy cpu was hitting 100c and I was getting warnings when I’d reboot my pc. I previously had one of those cheap liquid fan coolers that came with my pc and it must have stopped working. As soon as this was installed my temps dropped to 35-40c.

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. |
