Greater than one weekDecent fan. but it is not enough for the recently released i912900KF. I got the one with two fans and purchased a small 80mm (different brand) so it can fit on the other side above the RAMs. it still overheats and reaches 90c-96c degrees within 7-10 minutes of rendering when its 90% workload.

> 3 daybest aircooler around even with one fan installed (cannot fit the second one in case) make sure you measure

> 3 daycè poco da dire, lì in Austria quelli della noctua sono proprio degli sboroni, e se lo possono permettere.

> 3 dayThis is a massive heatsink that will totally fill-up the case. Its no joke to check your available space before purchasing. Its a tight fit in a full-size Antec P90 case and is unable to use the second fan on an Asus TUF x570 Plus Wifi mainboard due to [standard-sized] RAM being in the way.

> 3 dayOk, so I went the AIO route first, which Ive had good experiences with previously. But when I had a pump issue in the first two weeks, I asked myself, why am I complicating something that should be reliable and easy? After a little investigation to ensure the Noctua would fit my case and motherboard, I went with the NH-D15. I couldnt be happier. The device is elegant, easy to install, and most importantly keeps my CPU as cool as the AIO did. Since installing the Noctua cooler, I consistently see the system under 45 degrees at some load... and idle in the low 30s. At full load, the cooler is whisper quiet and most importantly, I dont have to wonder what happens to my system if the pump stops working. This cooler is perfect for me! If youre considering options to keep your system cool, I strongly encourage you to take a look at this cooler. Assuming your case and MB are compatible, youll love the performance and simplicity!

Greater than one weekBought this monstrosity for an upgrade on my tower. I dont overclock, but keeps my build nice and cool. I am a sucker for good airflow so excessiveness is an understatement.

Greater than one weekNoctua quality but struggled to attach this to motherboard (didnt seem aligned properly but not down to me).
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. |
