> 3 dayI have a ryzen 3700x with a 2070s gpu. Custom picked all my parts but had memory express assemble it because I never spent that much on a rig before. I had the stock Wraith Prism cooler installed. Decided to try installing the NH-D15 myself and it went somewhat smoothly. Had trouble screwing it in so I wiped it clean and tried again. Do remove the gpu ( I couldnt get mine out ) would have made it hell of a lot eaisier.

> 3 dayDie Leistung ist über jeden Zweifel erhaben, mein Ryzen 7 5800X wird unter voller Last unter 88 °C gehalten obwohl ich, aus optischen Gründen nur den zentralen Lüfter (der NH-D15S wäre nicht viel günstiger gewesen, daher habe ich direkt den Kühler mit zwei Lüftern genommen), bei max. 1250 RPM einsetze (konstant 800 RPM bis 75°C). Der zweite Lüfter bringt bei gleicher Drehzahl noch einmal ca. 2°C bzw. 100~150 Umdrehungen Unterschied, wenn man die Kühlleistung gleich hält. Allerdings finde ich den Preis etwas überzogen (100€.. rund 75€ wären noch ok gewesen). Für gut die Hälfte des Preises gibt es fast gleich gute Lösungen.

Greater than one weekAmazing build quality, and the cooling is actually better than the AIO i was using. But! It is absolutely massive, I have the NZXT H9 Flow and its millimeters away from the glass. Only really complaints I have about it is it over hangs RAM, to the point that you cant see your RGB RAM sticks, and the fan really isnt all that quiet at high speeds (thats honestly fine because its moving a lot of air, just thought Noctua stuff was like quiet quiet).

10-06-2025It is super quiet and powerful cooling for the CPU, but every time you want to remove your GPU it is pain in the ass, also the fan clip system is only gonna work when you have plenty of space, unfortunately that is not a such thing for me. Once you installed it’s fine.
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. |
