> 3 dayAwesome CPU cooler. Having used both air cooling and liquid cooling I can say confidently that it doesnt get better than this. The heat sink is pretty big, but if you have space in your cage and you are not too bothered about the ugly Noctua colours dont even think about it. If you are worried about the ram, the fans can be attached a bit higher so it should be ok, nevertheless make sure you check the height restrictions in the description of the product. The fans are super silent and my CPU runs at an average of 25 Celsius when idling.

> 3 dayGreat CPU Cooler! Have a RYZEN 5 3600 and while using the stock spire cooler I was around 50c idle and mid to high 60s with heavy processing. With the Noctua I know idle around 35c and run mid 40s to 50c max temp. Would highly recommend this cooler! Install for the AMD board wasnt bad, took maybe 30 minutes not rushing it and install is solid. Make sure you case can fit this cooler, it is massive. It comes with a pmw Y splitter to run both fans from one header and also comes with thermal paste. Im very happy with this purchase.

> 3 dayThis caught me offguard. As a tech I was going with liquid cool for a wicked machine I made. I actually did my own tests and this unit performed slightly better than a liquid unit! It takes up a massive amount of space, but oddly, it really did fit even tho I was skeptical.

Greater than one weekThis fan does its job well, never had a single issue with heat using this piece even under OC conditions. Relatively quiet as well. Glad I went this option over a closed loop cooling system.

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. |
