10-11-2024Knocked 20C degrees off my CPU temp vs. the Intel RTS2011LC liquid cooler for my overclocked i7-3960X, even without the optional second fan. Running the Linpack IntelBurnTest, I cannot get the CPU temp above 65C, whereas with the Intel cooler, I was over 80C even with some normal activities. Mighty impressive cooling! The NH-D15 does take up a lot of cabinet space, and I dont have room for the second fan in my Antec 902 case, but the Austrian manufacturer has improved upon the already legendary D12 to enable compatibility for more high profile ram modules.

> 3 dayThis monster cooler keeps CPU temperature down with very little noise. The Noctua website does a good job providing compatibility information, even on new-release motherboards. As a result it is easy to find the best solution for your custom build. Noctua packages all components very well. Included are (high quality) thermal paste and various connectors to suite varied customized airflow and noise profiles.

> 3 dayEasy to install with the motherboard out of the case. Supplied screwdriver is soft producing swarf so ditched this for a regular electrical screwdriver as I was concerned about having swarf shorting components.

> 3 dayIts been less than a month and i have noticed that when the fan speed increases there is a high pitch sound coming from them. When there is no load they are silent though! I dont expect them to be silent under load, but the high pitch sound does not seem normal. I am thinking that i may have faulty fan(s).

> 3 dayGreat cooler, installation was incredibly easy. A bit pricey, but keeps my 6700K at 55-56C on full load.
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. |
