> 3 dayI got this fan to start a bot of overclocking on my Ryzen 9 3900X. A few things to loom out for:

> 3 dayAs the headline states this Noctua NH-D15 cooling my 10900k is producing cooling results I NEVER thought were possible with an air cooler. This is coming from someone who is very heavy in the AIO department. To be fair, if youre coming from an all out water cooled system then of course your temps will be lower than any air cooler, but, if youre coming from an AIO and are considering to go air cooled then dont hesitate to take that leap of faith in getting the Noctua NH-D15.

Greater than one weekLogró hacer una diferencia de 10 grados con mi Ryzen 7 2700x, normalmente se mantiene a 40 grados. No sé si haya sido un error de instalación mía porque por ahí veía que podía llegar a enfriar todavía más.

> 3 dayGreat quality and quiet fan. I learned a valuable lesson that for optimal cooling the size of cooler makes a big difference. I paired this with a 12600K, replacing the much smaller NH-D9L that I installed originally and it brought my temps under load down from 100C to 75C. A little undervolting and I’m now getting 65C temps under load. A huge improvement and I had no idea that such a difference could be had by upgrading the cooler.

> 3 dayKeeps my 10900kf idle 32c and load 45c to 70c at 5300mhz while gaming. Coming from an aio cooler owner it does a better job than most aio coolers I have had in the past.

Greater than one weekHavent pushed the mainboard its on at all but this cooler is near silent while parked over 32 gig of Vengeance 3600. Looks good on a black board. Just watch the fan on the ram side and hang it higher.

> 3 dayNoctua quality, easy installation, incredible performance on par or even exceeding AIO watercoolers. Now in a good looking black package, what more do you want?
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. |
