17-04-2025I 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.

> 3 dayThis is one awesome cooler! With two fan humming at low RPM, barely audible, it keeps the idle temps as close to ambient temperature as I think are possible with an air cooler (within 2-3C).

Greater than one weekThis thing is a beast. I thought I wanted a liquid cooler until I found this to mount on my intel i7-8700k. Keeps it icy on at at 26C and under 60C at full load. Definitely recommend to anyone that needs a high performance CPU cooler.

> 3 dayYeah it’s HUGE, but this bad boy dropped my CPU temp between 20 and 40 degrees Celsius over the Coarsair water cooler. Maybe my water cooler wasn’t working right, but now even under heavily load the CPU is hovering in the low 50’C range. Not only superior cooling but it is SO much quieter than the water cooler. I barely hear the PC. If your case is big enough, get this!
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. |
