Greater than one weekJust know that it will not fit in the medium size tower and some motherboard. This fan is really huge and you will need to search the compatibility before you buy

> 3 dayMost difficult cooler Ive had to install yet, felt like I was going to break something and was frustrating getting it to lock into place. it is somewhat noisy. A 20-25$ difference for a black coat of paint is definitely not justified. But the performance is definitely one of the best and keeps my 3900x in the low 30s on idle and never passes 60 under load at 4.8 ghz.

Greater than one weekThe youtube experts say you can’t cool a 12900K with air, and certainly not with a 3090Ti in the case but that’s what I did and it works great. I’m not normally doing productivity work so maybe that’s why its not a problem but in heavy 4k gaming the CPU’s hottest core at its hottest moment is 77C. That’s not bad!

Greater than one weekArrived with no protective plastic covering the processor contact point. Relatively easy install for AM4. Much too loud, and nowhere close to as efficient at cooling as I was led to believe. I initially tested it on an undervolted Ryzen 5800X and found that thermals could climb as high as 83C during multithreaded tests with the fans screaming. My Scythe Ninja 5 with its 500 RPM fans performed nearly identically while making half the amount of noise. Same temps, same boost clocks. What is wrong with this thing?

> 3 dayPurchased one of these to cool a Ryzen 9 5950x as I was weary of liquid cooling, being the first time I would have used something like an AIO. The cooler is HUGE and can make installation a hassle in some scenarios. If you ever have to remove a GPU with one of these things installed, be sure to have something like a wooden chopstick to put pressure on the release latch - the gap between the bottom of the heatsink and the back of the GPU is very, very small on ATX boards.
The NH-D15 chromax.black is an all-black version of Noctua’s award-winning flagship model NH-D15 premium-quality quiet CPU cooler. Thanks to the same proven dual-tower heatsink design and NF-A15 PWM fans, it stays true to the NH-D15’s successful formula of rivalling the performance of all-in-one water coolers while maintaining superb quietness of operation. At the same time, the chromax.black version with its black fans and black coated heatsink combines these assets with a sleek stealth look. Topped off with the renowned SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua’s enthusiast-grade NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-D15 chromax.black is a deluxe choice for both overclockers and silent enthusiasts who seek an elite-class heatsink that looks just as great as it cools.

6 heatpipe dual-tower designAs compared to conventional single tower heatsinks, the NH-D15’s fine-tuned six heatpipe dual-tower design provides more surface area, better heat-distribution and superior airflow efficiency in dual-fan mode. |
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. |
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). |
Colour-customisableUsing the optional NA-HC3 and NA-HC4 heatsink covers as well as the NA-SAVP3 anti-vibration pads (available in black, blue, green, red, yellow, white), the NH-D15 chromax.black can be fully customised to fit popular build colour schemes such as black and red or black and white. |
