> 3 dayI purchased this cooler because my corsair h100i pump failed! I decided to go with air cooling because water cooling has to many points of failure.The nh-d15 performs excellent but its HUGE and it just fits in my antec gx700 case with no room to spare. The Noctua D15 actually performs better then my old h100i, the Noctua idles at 1c to 2c warmer then the h100i but under prime the nh-d15 performs, it runs 8c-9c cooler then h100i

07-06-2025This product was incredibly easy to install compared to prior fans. That might be because AM4 has very easy mounting systems, Im not sure. Ive only build AM3+ computers prior to this. It feels high quality, pushes a lot of air, and is very quiet. Even includes a very spiffy little metal sticker for your case.

> 3 dayHands down the best and easiest cooler out there. Dont even bother going liquid, just get this thing. seriously. amd 3600x and amd 5600x no additional requirements. Great temps when gaming, even with these furnace of cpus. Average around 35-40c ambient and 55-70c under full load. Judging from online forums and guides, these temps exceed most mid range liquid cooled setups with these cpus. These cpus run very hot anyway, this cooler DESTROYS the heat. Make sure your case has good air flow in and out! Got to keep that pressure so the heat doesnt just build up in your case.

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. |
