> 3 dayMounting instructions straight forward and easy to follow. The radiator is massive and barely fit into my mid-tower case. I cannot use the included second fan as it will not sit below the case line. I cannot set it as low on the radiator as the middle fan. I doubt Ill need it.

> 3 dayIch bin von der Leistung dieses kühler sehr zu frieden 1A TOP so muss ein Produkt sein.

> 3 daySehr gute Kühlleistung, besser als meine alte WaKü und auch Leiser als die Radiatoren meiner alten WaKü. Kann ich definitiv jedem empfehlen, der was sehr gutes für eine lange Zeit sucht. Der einzige Nachteil ist, das ich nur einen der beiden Lüfter einbauen konnte, obwohl mein RAM nicht einmal so riesig ist. Aber da geht die Lutzi trotzdem ab.

> 3 dayYou really dont get much better air cooling than this, and its as good as quite a few water coolers.

Greater than one weekI purchased this after I saw a respected youtuber/benchmarker show that air cooling can beat cheap AIO solutions, and I had purchased the cheapest AIO I could find 3 years ago, the Thermaltake Water 3.0 Performer(360mm) for $119. Because I like a quite PC I replaced the fans on that AIO with ARCTIC F12 PWM which I run at 300 RPM.

Greater than one weekThe directions were the best that I have ever found with any computer product. The product quality looks great and the fan is silent.

> 3 dayVery quite. Keeping AMD Ryzev 7 5800 at 34 C most of the time, never pasted 50 C yet. If you cant afford water cooling, this is the way to go.

> 3 dayTheres cheaper options available for this many heatpipes, but this one doesnt force you to spend 30 or 40 dollars replacing the stock fans with noctuas. This wont outperform a 360 mm AIO in a case with terrible airflow, but with good airflow this wont have any problems radiating away 200 watts of heat in 20 years. Ol reliable, just be sure to slap the top of it twice and say that aint going nowhere after you complete the mounting instructions, I dont know why they would leave out such a critical step.

> 3 dayOn Intel i9 extreme running 100% this fan holds the core temp to less than 45 degrees. The cheaper fan I had before had to run flat out to achieve 50C and even then sometimes the processor hung.
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. |
