The English Review
> 3 dayThis is the second fan of Noctua I have got. This is a minor improvement on the D14 but be aware of the space you need in your case to use it.

> 3 dayDidn’t come with instructions or mounting brackets for LGA 1700 which the description explicitly says that it did. I had to buy a separate bracket. I’d taken the day off work to build and enjoy the new pc, this wasted my time and I’m not very happy.

> 3 dayBetter than a water cooler and surprising isnt an eye sore inside a case with a slightly tinted window (Im using the p400 and it looks damn cool in there)

> 3 dayGreat product, no problem at all with it. Just make sure that if you buy this product, you have a full ATX tower.

Greater than one weekWas relatively easy to install on my ROG Maximus x hero motherboard, the most difficult part was reaching my CPU power port after I had accidentally installed the cooler before plugging in the CPU power.I was able to overclock my i7 8700k CPU to 5.0GHz with no issue. I would reccomend it if asked.

> 3 dayI loved mine...It was super quiet, and reasonably priced. It died this morning. I have had it installed on my NAS which is on 24/7 for approximately 1 year. I thought it would last longer but today it showed my fan was not operating, and I check, and found zero airflow on the CPU Cooler fans.
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. |
