> 3 dayUpgraded my RTX 660 to an RTX 2070, but still have a ~5 year old i7. Running games on max with my stock processor cooler yielded me ~ 80 degrees celsius within the first 5 minutes. With this, after testing out every game I own at max settings, the highest CPU temp Ive seen is 40C, with 21C at idle. I dont trust the idea of watercooling so this is the next best thing and I cant recommend enought.

> 3 dayFür diese Rezension muss ich erst mein ursprüngliches Kühlsystem als vergleichsfaktor vorstellen bevor ich zu diesem Produkt kommen kann da eine klarere referenz in punkto Leistung hierbei doch mehr aussagt als schlichtes ist top.

> 3 dayThe front fan wont clear my RAM. Putting it in the back wouldnt clear the shroud over my capacitors. So I opted to run with one fan. I had an issue, so Ive had to remove/re-install it a couple of times, and without fail, Ive spilled my own blood. Those fins are SHARP! That having been said, my PC runs cooler, which is why I bought it. There is no worry with water blocks and radiators, which is exactly what I wanted.

> 3 dayIm getting better frames/cb scores with this than I was getting with a Corsair H100i. Definitely worth it. Paired with my Meshify C it’s perfect.

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. |
