> 3 dayI thought this would be an adequate alternative to liquid cooling for 3950x/Crosshair VIII combo because of the two fans. I thought wrong. The cooler fits OK with one fan but the second fan is blocked on one side by RAM and blocked on the other side by the I/O shroud. In addition, this cooler is cut out to allow clearance for the RAM but will have to be removed if you have to remove the first two Ram.

> 3 dayPurchased to replace a corsair 100I V2 water cooling. Very happy!!! Temp is under <55 At 100% Load. Before, my cpu would reach >80C with corsair watercooler. Easy to set up! Didnt have any problem with it being installed over memory, just adjust and level the fan accordingly.

> 3 dayNoctua non mente ottimi materiali... prodotto dalle dimensioni importanti... parlano bene anche del cryoring che non ho provato e lascia libere le ram... come efficienza va benissimo e la rumorosità è quasi pari a zero anche sotto stress test

> 3 dayNoctua nous montre encore son savoir faire ! un excellente système de refroidissement pour celui qui , comme moi, ne succombe pas aux Watercooling AIO, et il na pas à se cacher, il est parfait pour les grosses config type ryzen 5900X ou i9 12900K, par contre la RAM sera compliquée a accéder une fois monté !

> 3 dayThis is by far the best cooler I have had, I used to have AIO coolers but these are so much better. Just check your Ram height otherwise you might have to lift the Fan to a higher position

> 3 dayAbsolute maximum use of the available space. Little to no clearance from 3090 in first slot. Sort of amazing how tight it is.

> 3 dayBest CPU cooler for overclocking hands down. This replaced a (very noisy) Corsair H105 H20 cooler which did a poor job of cooling an i7 3770k. The NH-D15 brought the (overclocked to 4.4) cpu temps down an average of 12F. Plus, you get the added bonuses of the whisper-quiet fans circulating the internal case air and providing additional cooling of your motherboard, chipsets, and GPU and being very quiet, even under heavy gaming. You just cant beat this CPU cooler. Pricey, but well worth it. You dont have to worry about the H2O lines breaking either. Simply the best. Installation is a BREEZE! Outstanding 3 year warranty on the fans (which are the best in the industry).

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. |
