> 24 hourI cant meaningfully critique its performance due to compatibility issues, but be very aware of how much space you have in your computer. I was unable to use this in my computer due to the very large graphics card (XFX RX 5700 XT THICC III) I was using.

> 24 hourFor the last 4 years, the glorious NH-D14 has been cooling down my processors (many CPU upgrades, and it still was rockng) but I had wanted to upgrade to NH-D15 for quite some time now. It is hard to get the feeling that there has been a big improvement, since the performance of the NH-D14 with dual NF-F12 is just spectacular. I am currently planning on using the NF-F12s in this cooler too... but I am giving the NF-A15s a chance to impress me. I like the silent operation thou... So far, the temps have dropped around 2 degrees (C) when compared to my old Noctua cooler. Amazons delivery time (Amazon Prime, mind you), is second to none. I have an issue with this thou... The rubber mountings that are supposed to be included with this cooler, where nothing to be found (neither were the case screws) I went to the help page and found no way to raise a complaint. All the options I have are, returning the whole thing (which I dont want to do, since the cooler is already installed on my CPU) or ask for a refund (which I dont want either). Its kind of odd that I dont have an option to claim the missing pieces on my kit, without having to send the entire thing back.

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. |
