> 24 hourThe fans are quiet and keep the CPU cool. I unfortunately did not have room for the second fan but had no problem fitting it with the RAM (and their heatsink attached) , as others experienced. The NH-D15 is excellent.

> 24 hourFrom my experience, all-in-one water coolers cant come close to the reliability and performance of a high tier air cooler like this. Ive not had any issues with the cooler and my Temps are nice and chilly. Also the included fans are SO quiet, which is awesome since my desktop is right near my TV. Cant go wrong with the cooler.

> 24 hourIch habe einen Ryzen7 5800x verbaut und hatte vorher meinen Boxkühler vom Ryzen 5 drauf, dabei hatte ich ständig eine Temperatur von über 90 grad im Ruhemodus. Mit diesem Lüfter bin ich jetzt bei ca 40-50 Grad im Ruhemodus, also viel besser, kann ich nur empfehlen für Leute die auch Temperatur Probleme mit Ihren CPUs haben.

> 24 hourNot much more needs to be said, its a Noctua CPU cooler with Noctua fans - quiet (almost silent to be honest), and amazing cooling capacity. One thing to bear in mind - check the dimensions and compare with your case. If this is too big for your case, perhaps take a look at the NH-U12A (I also use this in other builds), which has comparable sound and cooling capacity but is much smaller and fits in more cases and is compatible with more components.

> 24 hourRunning a AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Idles @ around 28~33c. Underload @ around 50~60c. Superb cooler, very quiet as well, really please with this. As long Noctua keep making these coolers I am never going back to water AIOs.

Built on the basis of the legendary NH-D14 and carrying on its quest for ultimate quiet cooling performance, Noctua’s flagship model NH-D15 is an elite-class dual tower cooler for the highest demands. Its expanded heatpipe layout and two premium grade NF-A15 140mm fans with PWM support for automatic speed control allow it to further improve the NH-D14’s award-winning efficiency. Topped off with the trusted, pro-grade SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-D15 forms a complete premium quality solution that represents a deluxe choice for overclockers and silent-enthusiasts alike.

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. |
