> 3 dayBest air cooler. Ive had a few Noctua over the years and if you dont want to watercool then the best option is a top end Noctua. Just make sure your case has the space for whatever big noctua cooler you choose. Measurements are available and you can do a quick check before hand.

> 3 daySo far, so good. Very easy to install and equal performance to the Swiftech H240x its replaced, which is a copper radiator water cooling kit. Sadly, the water pump failed on that kit, so I decided to try air this time. Never going back to water again. I could have bought 2 of these Noctua coolers for the price of the H240x, plus this has fewer moving parts so theres less to go wrong. Even if one fan dies, theres still a second one to prevent overheating. Even if both fans died, the heatsink will passively cool the CPU. With my water cooler, the pump died while I was away from my desk and when I came back, the temps were at 89C. Not good.

> 3 dayIch habe den kühler gekauft um eine AiO Corsair 100i zu ersetzen die überfordert war ein i7 3770k auf 4.2ghz übertaktung zu kühlen. Mit heavyload hatte der cpu mit der AiO nach 2 Minuten schon über 80 grad und war zudem sehr laut.
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. |
