Noctua NH-D15, Premium CPU Cooler with 2X NF-A15 PWM 140mm Fans (Brown)

Im usually not one to write a review, but in this case, I have to add to the praise about this cooler. Im sitting here writing this as Im running a prime95 test on my FX9590 @ 4.7GHz. AMD OverDrive shows the thermal margin getting no closer than 15 degrees from max. Ambient room temp when the test was started was roughly 21 degrees C. CoreTemp (actual temperature) numbers run right along with OverDrive (degrees from thermal margin) showing a maximum of 55 degrees C on a full load. I may have read somewhere that the low-end temps are unreliable but I show anywhere from 18-25 C at idle. The processor is just as happy as can be and thats only due to this cooler.

Die Montage gestaltete sich anfänglich etwas schwierig, da es kleine Ungenauigkeiten in der Montageanleitung gibt. Youtube-Videos haben hier geholfen. Meine CPU i5 6600k betreibe ich jetzt sehr stabil auf 4,7Ghz (ca 1,24 V) und sie wird nie wärmer als 65 °C (Vollast - CPU-intesives Gaming) und das obwohl mein Gehäuse über keinen Gehäuselüfter verfügt. Mit 89€ liegt das Gerät preislich deutlich über der Konkurenz (z.B. Dark Rock 4 PRO) , die Leistung kann sich aber sehen lassen. Kaufempfehlung!

Dissipatore davvero performante per computer gaming, silenzioso e affidabile, facile da installare.

I7 6700k was having poor cooling with a liquid setup so got the best air cooler and this thing is better than expected. It is actually not possible for me to run the fans hard enough for this to be louder than a liquid cooler. Temps are much more stable and dropped by 5 degrees with fans on only 15%.

Great

Very good, silent and efficient cooler.

I checked dimensions, and sure enough, this cooler worked perfectly on an Asus ROG Strix B760-I ITX motherboard in an Antec ISK600 ITX case. It fit like a glove, but cleared all of some pretty tall mobo heat sinks and similar. And the fans could be set low enough to clear the case lid. The rear fan could be set low enough to blow air directly over the RAM in my case. A fan header to put both fans on one fan mobo connector was included (this ITX mobo has only two Q fan ports (also has an AIO fan port but that one is not speed controlled so isnt useful for a CPU or Case fan.

This is my second NH-D15, and Ill explain why Im giving it a three star review below. For starters, literally everything about the product is excellent. The packaging is top notch with beautiful printing on the box and excellent foam and cardboard inserts inside to protect every piece of the contents. The parts are separated into three sub-boxes that have diagrams and parts lists of what is inside each section. The instructions, while a little small, still clearly detail all the installation steps with clear instructions and detailed diagrams. The heatsink itself is hefty, came out of the box without as much as a smudge on it, and installed without any more trouble than you would expect from a component of this size (and it is huge). In fact, Im typing this on my computer which I just installed this in earlier today and at idle in an 80°F (27°C) room the hottest core on my stock-clocked i7 4930K is only at 89.6°F (32°C) with both CPU fans running at only around fifty percent! I did forget to mention the fans are super quiet and well made, although the color scheme is not one Im fond of.

check if your case supports it, before buying. pcpartpicker has a filter for cases compatible with this humongous cooler. also in case specs there will be a tower cooler height spec. Check it!

Einfach Klasse!
