> 24 hourit comes neatly packaged, parts for AMD and Intel motherboards, its heavy, its massive, its easy to install, comes with thermal paste and a decent screwdriver, good instructions, fits easily in the Fractal Design R5 case, so far it is keeping the AMD FX 9590 cpu nice and cool but i havent tested it under heavy load yet. I am very happy with the colossus Noctua NH-D15

> 24 hourThis thing works perfectly. Though upon reflection i should of got a all-in-one liquid cooler. I do alot of upgrading and i dont think thats good for this big ol cooler. I cant take stars off for things i already knew =).

> 24 hourI upgraded from a hyper 212 evo, instant 10C temperature reduction even just using the middle fan. It was so much easier to install as well. I was worried about its HEFT on my cheap motherboard, but its lighter than it looks. The only annoying part of installation was the fan, as there was only an inch for my hand between the cooler and the top of my case. I had to use needle nose pliers and a lot of patience to pull the little metal clip over the side.

> 24 hourMuy impresionado. Ya no creo que vuelva a la refrigeración líquida. Cuidado con las medidas porque es un disipador grande

> 24 hourMuch Much Quieter than I had expected. Very easy assy. Cooling is 2nd to none especially for not being over clocked. I highly recommend this product

> 24 hourI had a highly rated water cooler which maxed out the CPU temperature (90C) almost immediately when under load. I changed to this and the same work hit a max of 68C. At best this is superior technology, at worst it is just more idiot-proof than a water system. It is very big though so I made sure to measure the box before ordering.
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. |
