> 3 dayAvevo un sistema di raffreddamento a liquido della thermaltake che comportava ogni tanto un minimo di manutenzione dovuta al rabbocco del serbatoio.

> 3 dayIt may be pricey, but I give you my honest review, this Cooler is definitely a must-have if you dont want to use liquid cooling, theres a review a comparison between Noctua NH-D15 vs Liquid cooling based on the video, Noctua NH-D15 performs close to any liquid cooling.

> 3 dayI had a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo on my 3700x for awhile, but I found it idling at around 55-60 and hitting the low 70s under harsh loads. I decided to go for this one as those temps, while likely fine, are too high for my taste. With this new cooler Im idling at around 46 - 53 with the occasional spikes up to 58-60. Such a HUGE difference in temperature.

> 3 dayAwesome CPU cooler. Having used both air cooling and liquid cooling I can say confidently that it doesnt get better than this. The heat sink is pretty big, but if you have space in your cage and you are not too bothered about the ugly Noctua colours dont even think about it. If you are worried about the ram, the fans can be attached a bit higher so it should be ok, nevertheless make sure you check the height restrictions in the description of the product. The fans are super silent and my CPU runs at an average of 25 Celsius when idling.

> 3 dayThis was the easiest CPU cooler installation I have ever done. It took me only 30 minutes to get this bad boy installed and it worked like a charm. My temps dropped from 55-60 C idle to around 30 C idle. Definitely a must if you want to overclock but dont want to water cool.

> 3 dayBIG!, But the greatest air cooler Ive ever owned. my last one was a Thermaltak frio. this is much quieter and keeps it cooler.
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. |
