> 3 dayCooler was packaged the best I have ever seen. Worked great. I discovered they have a different version NH-D15S that does not cover up the first pcie slot on your motherboard. I had to order the NH-D15S to work properly with my EVGA Z170 FTW and EVGA GTX 1080 FTW.

> 3 dayIntels mounting designs have always been absolute garbage. You would think Noctua would be able to improve on this, but with a complete lack of testing in the design they failed for the simplest and laziest of reasons.

09-06-2025This is an amazing cooler... overclocked an intel i-7 6700k without it breaking a sweat. It also makes your computer look like a very capable off-road vehicle. Bad ass :)

Greater than one weekThis cooler is what some people love to call thors hammer. It is a really large block aluminum and 2 large fans. The cooler keeps my OCd i7 9700k at 5.1 GHz at around 34 degrees Celcius up to maybe around 46 when loading games. Under heavy rendering in premiere pro with H.264 long GOP 4K video files it rises to a maximum of around 72 degrees celcius. Heavy gaming does not even bother this cooler. If it can handle big overclocks and video projects there is no need to worry about its performance.

> 3 dayYa sabía por los comentarios que era un disipador enorme, pero más que enorme es mastodótico. Por si sirve de alguien la referencia, tengo una CoolerMaster CM690II y entre justito. Eso sí, todo este acero realmente sirve para algo: en carga he bajado entre 5 y 10ºC, mientras que en reposo mantengo la misma temperatura, pero con muchísimo menos ruido. Probablemente sea el mejor disipador por aire, y eso hay que pagarlo.

> 3 dayThe wide profile blocks my PCI-E slot and makes it impossible to install any of the new generation graphcs cards. What a hassle!
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. |
