> 3 dayits a great cooler though i found its effectiveness decreased over time and needed dusting regularly if fans on device are set to push air through it.. after setting my fans to Pull air through them i didnt have as much build up.

Greater than one weekIve installed dozens of CPU fans over the years. I installed and reinstalled this twice with nowhere near the cooling that other reviews stated. My system is an overclocked Ryzen 7 1800X (36-->39.5 multiplier) and undervolted from ~1.44V to 1.30V. Under heavy loads (video rendering) it jumps to 85C. At idle its at 55C. I gained 3-4C cooling from the previous fan (coolermaster single tower). Thats not acceptable for a cooler thats almost $100. HIghly likely that I will return this.

> 3 dayFantastic cooler, it cools my overclocked AMD FX 9370 much more efficiently than my previous water cooler (Corsair h80) and it is so much quieter. I thoroughly recommend this cooler for overclocked CPUs and particularly the AMD FX 9370 or 9560 (220 watt versions) which are known to get hot. It also works well with high profile RAM such as the Corsair Vengeance RAM with the large heat sinks.

> 3 dayAls mein Karton geliefert wurde war ich kurz geschockt. Der Karton deutete schon ansatzweise an, was für eine Größe der Kühler haben könnte. Die Montag verlief nach Anleitung super schnell. Ich musste den äußeren Lüfter höher setzen, weil meine HyperX Speicherriegel durch die Kühlkörper minimal zu hoch waren. Durch Das höhersetzen des äußeren Lüfters wurden mir leider auch die letzten 1-2mm Luft zwischen der obersten Lüfterkante und der Gehäuseklappe meine BeQuiet! SilentBase 600 Gehäuses geraubt. Der Kühler liegt nun zwar mit der weichen Kunststoffdämmung auf der Innenseite meiner Gehäuseklappe auf, allerdings entsteht hier kein großer Druck, sodass Folgeschäden quasi ausgeschlossen sind. Falls doch welche auftreten sollten, werde ich das natürlich für alle die, die das gleiche Gehäuse haben, nachtragen.

> 3 dayTrès très bon air cooling avec des performances similaires à un AIO de 240 et bien plus silencieux en idle.

Greater than one weekGreat cooler. I understand its supposed to fit if you have all your ram seated but with slots 3 and 4 filled I cant use the second fan. With one fan though this cooler is doing the job keeping my 13700k under 65C

Greater than one weekOver 1 year of cooling an Intel i7 9770K continuously used for folding@home day /night plus everyday computing tasks, barely fit in the case but does an exemplary job.

> 3 dayGreat item, easy to install compared to some other heatsinks, slightly pricey.
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. |
