> 3 dayI came from a AIO cooler, and was a bit concerned about the installation of this heatsink (its huge!).

> 3 dayI have a i7 7700k which is insanely hot but with this heatsink my temps are fine now. I was using a pretty cheap heatsink before and temps would hit up to 80-90c under heavy load. With the NH-D15 my tests so far look great. 29-31c idle and hitting 60c top in heavy use while gaming. Huge improvement for me.

Greater than one weekThis is big. Very big. But it’s also very cool. My system idles around 30°C. The fans are a bit of a fiddle to install. If your RAM sticks are too tall, you’ll struggle to fit a second fan onto the heatsink. If you have sensibly sized RAM then you’ll be fine (not tall RGB sticks that you wouldn’t see anyway if the second fan could fit). While you’re at it, grab some Noctua fans for the top of your case. You can have RGB alternatives at the front and back but the noctuas will be great at the top.

> 3 dayI have had The Noctua for a few months now. I used this to replace my water cooler (which was about to die after 6/7 years). No issues at all, works great idle and under load, very quiet and easy to install.
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. |
