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

I built an i7-7700K based system and wasnt aware of the massive heat due to the inefficient TIM on between the CPU die and metal cover. I bought a standard heatsink + fan, not even a crappy one, i think i spent $20.00 on it. While running a massive, 24x7 x265 HEVC video encoding job under linux, i kernel was constantly constantly complaining about throttling back due to the exceeeded threshold. I installed the sensors package, did a sensors command and sure enough the CPU threads were all @ 98C - 100C.

Ci ho messo 10 minuti a togliere il vecchio hyper 212 e 5 ad installare questo, davvero semplicissimo da montare. Poi ho perso 45 minuti per cercare di far passare i cavi delle ventole dietro questo mostro perché sono un idiota e non ho pensato a farlo prima, lezione imparata. Con una sola ventola in un cooler master 690II advanced raffreddando un ryzen 3700x sta a 70° con tutti i core utilizzati e la velocità della ventola quasi al minimo. Con questo setup non si riesce quasi a capire se il pc è acceso oppure no a meno che non ci si metta con lorecchio accanto. Posso lasciare il pc acceso tutta la notte a fare transcoding video e dormire a 3 metri di distanza senza riuscire a sentirlo.

Coming from a Cryorig I dont know why I waited so long to buy this. My Cryo wasnt cooling my 4790k well enough. I was getting constant over heating issues and crashes. Hoping it was just a thermal issue and not wanting to go back to liquid AIO because of failures, I figured Id try the best of the best in air cooling. I am more than satisfied this with. My 4790k 1.25v temps never go past 60c at heavy load. This is the best news considering I was hitting 100c and failure on my Cryorig H7. Dead silent operation on top of all that. After using this I wouldnt buy any other air cooler or liquid cooler. I honestly think this is perfect all around. Zero risk with water damage and all the reward of lower temps.

Ive been eyeing up this CPU cooler for a few years and I finally decided to spend $100+ on this bad boy. It is very large, but I was able fit it in my Fractal Design Mini-C. The Cooler is installed on a Ryzen 7 3700x and replaced a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. I have to say Im underwhelmed by the results. The CPU temps did drop about 3-5 degrees but IMO it doesnt seem worth it. Dont get me wrong, this is a beautiful cooler and Noctua makes a great product, I just dont know if it was worth spending so much money for such a small reduction in temps. I tried removing and reseating the Noctua NH-D15, but the results were the same. Im a little confused, because this cooler is literally twice the size of the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo. I expected much better results.

A big product that provides a big improvement over standard style coolers. Takes up a lot of space so you need to have a large case to accommodate it. Using it on an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and its reduced the average temperature by 10 degrees. Great when gaming.

great！

If you do any kind of 3D rendering, skip this product and get a water cooler.

der Lüfter ist super hält die CPU super kühl Mann muss nur kucken das man viel platz im Gehäuse hat bin da etwas erschrocken habe ihn rein bekommen. top

Super Luftkühler. Nicht günstig, aber kühlt gut. Kühle damit meinen Ryzen 9 5900X und die höchste CPU-Temperatur die ich beobachtet habe ist 72° Celsius, habe die Lüfterkurve aber auch so eingestellt dass ab 60° C die Lüfter schon mit 80% oder mehr ihrer Höchstgeschwindigkeit drehen und ab 70°C die Maximale Lüftergeschwindigkeit erreicht wird. Man hört die Lüfter damit schon, aber kann sicher auch etwas niedrigere Lüfterdrehzahlen einstellen, um die Lautstärke zu verringern, wenn man etwas höhere Temperaturen in Kauf nimmt.

Just using a single fan on a 5600x and its nice and quiet. Temps are low. Great cooler.
