Noctua NH-D15 chromax.Black, Dual-Tower CPU Cooler (140mm, Black)

Arrived assembled, with no assembly components, and an old AMD CPU fan. Looks like it was returned and no one checked the box? Unfortunately, the other parts for my machine arrived too late, and by the time I opened this it was too late to return.

Last year I built my first gaming PC after being without one for a while because my old prebuilt one broke down. I was going all out building my new PC and knew I needed a cooler with some oomph to be able to cool an i9 9900k processor, and I was definitely not going to be going with a liquid cooling system. So I did some research and came down to 2 options, I was either going to go with the Le Grand Macho RT or this Noctua D15... I went with this and was not disappointed!

This is a great Cooler set and Is pretty easy to install as long you read the instructions thoroughly before install. The only thing on this is Height. Make sure you have enough space in your case and motherboard. My motherboard had a tall IO shield and with the memory on the one side I was only able to install one fan due to the height of the adjusted fan exceeding the case. But even with just one fan in the middle , my computer stays below 60° C. I set up one top fan right about the second heatpipe for exhaust, and a second top fan infront of the first heatpipe to be intake to help it out abit.

Great product. Looks awesome in my meshify c case. I had did have to switch one fan for a 120mm to fit on my board but I’m am satisfied by my purchase. Great product. Would buy again if I ever would need too.

Upgraded from the normal colour Noctua and this looks much better. I equipped the white heat sinks which give it a nice contrast in my case. This is the best air cooler out there and liquid cooling is not worth it for most.

Loved the black ... easy to install but it is tall and double fans .... great cooling ... 3900x with OCCT ran at about 65 degrees under power test .... 12 cores all maxed out .... video maxed out as well and still quiet ...

Seems a good cooler however.. to pay for the black one and get sent the brown one… not impressed

Im very impressed with the Noctua NH-D15 CHROMAX.BLACKs cooling ability, Im glad it lives up to all the reviews Ive seen. In my H500M case, along with a Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-2000 IP67 PWM exhaust fan, it keeps my Ryzen 9 3900X at 32°-35°C idle (background processes like Steam and MSI Afterburner running). In BIOS, CPU temp sits at 29-31°C idle. I havent done any intense benchmarking, but when I run my most CPU demanding processes/games, I very rarely see the temps go over 65°C (Ive maybe seen it reach this temp once), let alone 55-60°C.

Really cools CPU!!! much better than standard heatsinks

Noctua lists this air cooler as being compatible with the Gigabyte Vision mobos on their website. It isn’t. The second 140mm fan either runs into the RAM, the IO shield, or the glass of my case (Lian Li O11D Mini). I bought this heat sink for the potency of 2x140mm fans, but I didn’t receive that.
