> 24 hourFantastic cooler, outperforms most AIOs and is well elevated to provide clearance for any RAM or Mobo shroud I could think of. Delivered promptly and well packaged. Buy some Noctua Chromax plates for a pleasing aesthetic and youre getting all the performance of watercooling for a fraction of the price.

> 24 hourThis is a massive heatsink that will totally fill-up the case. Its no joke to check your available space before purchasing. Its a tight fit in a full-size Antec P90 case and is unable to use the second fan on an Asus TUF x570 Plus Wifi mainboard due to [standard-sized] RAM being in the way.

> 24 hourJust like everyone else thats saying that everyone else is saying about this CPU cooler--its fan-tastic. Its summer time, and my ambient temperatures get really hot most afternoons, but the NH-D15 doesnt seem to care about the heat.

> 24 hourCon questo ho overclockato il mio i7 6700k a 4.6 ghz stabili e il processore rimane freddo anche con applicazioni intensive, oltre che non fa nemmeno un po di rumore. Vale tutti i soldi spesi...tutti!

> 24 hourGreat packaging with everything you need, including thermal paste. This is a big cooler so make sure you have enough room for it!

> 24 hourHas been cooling my build for a while and it is doing well. Although it only has one of the 2 fans attached due to the fan not able to clear the ram on one side and the mother board itself on the other. The second fan is about a 10% difference in temp.

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. |
