> 3 dayIve always wanted one of these but couldnt justify the price, however, I recently spent around the same on a Coolermaster 240mm AIO which was not only noisy it cooled worse than the stock cooler for my Ryzen chip, so, Im returned the AIO and I received this today and its outstanding.

> 3 dayExcellent product. I bought this to replace my stock Ryzen 2700X cooler, and it works like an absolute dream. It is quiet under all but the most intense loads (most games are silent. it ramps up when using Photoshop/Illustrator/After Effects), and even when it ramps up it is STILL quiet enough to be well within acceptable limits. Mounting was a bit tedious, but it wasnt unreasonably so. If youre familiar with building/maintaining PC hardware, or if youre adequate at reading instructions, this wont be a problem. If youre particularly partial to seeing your motherboards RGB, this may not be the product for you. It completely covers the RGB on my mobo, so I cant see it at all, but this isnt necessarily a negative.

> 3 dayI have been fighting thermal issues for a year now using a 240mm AIO. My i9 under load after overclocking would reach 90C+ on the regular. Since installing this and throwing benchmarks and gaming on it, I’ve yet to go over 70C in the same conditions. Absolutely incredible piece of hardware and somehow fit over my Corsair Dominator sticks minus the second fan, but even with heater of a CPU I don’t need the optional fan. Also please measure your case before buying. By sheer luck this fit in my case about a millimeter above my RAM and about a centimeter away from the tempered glass
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. |
