> 3 dayHello Everyone, my H100 v2 failed recently and decided to go with the best air cooler out there, was worried about the size but it fit in mid-tower case just barely(maybe 1/4 inch from side panel), I am getting the same temperatures(idle around 30c) or lower then I did with water cooling and now I dont need to worry about water in my PC lol biggest thing that could go wrong now is a fan failer but with 6 yr warranty not too worried

> 3 dayI cant fault the Unit but I had underestimated that it wasnt just height or width issues but I needed to relocate the GPU and that had to be slot 3 due to Z270 requirements which buried my Sata connections. It also sits too close to memory for my liking but the Unit is brilliant although my Z270 re-jig took two days. CPU temperatures are now below the Kraken X42. I use an Enermax Giant box and only just fitted it as the side fan enclosure drops down into the box. Now done/up and working and quiet and cool and a 6 year warranty.

Greater than one weekIt is quiet and large. I have a 9700k, maximus xi hero, and a Thor v2 case. Fits and runs perfectly. Also I got 32 rgb corsair 3200mhz ram.

> 3 dayI had a close system water cooler that was failing only 1.5 years after I bought my computer. It would idle at 95 C. With this, I idle at 40 C, and hope to not have to replace it for many more years than 1.5.

> 3 dayFirst off. This thing is HUGE. (See other reviewers pictures). Id recommend plugging in the CPU power connector before mounting the cooler, because it becomes a pain afterwards (but still possible unless you have very meaty hands).

> 3 dayIf you don’t want to worry about your CPU overheating then just buy it. That simple

11-06-2025Amazing and quiet! Idling temps around 25c using 8700K with stock clock, playing games 40-50c, simply incredible, defiantly was not expecting this, and cannot recommend enough!

> 3 dayIt may not be the quietest cooler ever when the fans are at 100% but they never get loud under a normal fan curve. This cooler dropped the temps on my 2200g by 30C! I have now upgraded to a 12 core 3900xt and this cooler has no issue cooling it either.
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. |
