true reviews
> 3 dayIt’s not a bad fan, and I’m more than sure it would work just fine. However, it’s a large fan that definitely would not fit a small PC with a large graphics card. Make sure to check the sizes BEFORE purchasing this. It’s a lot bigger than it looks in the pictures. Like I said, I’m more than sure the performance of the fan would be fine, so don’t knock it until you try it.

> 3 dayI used to have a water cooled system and after a couple years it was having issues. I got this and my CPU has never been this cool. Dont bother with anything else.

> 3 dayEasy to assemble, great performance and almost silent after tuning fan curves. Its BIG though, so not so easy to fit in some cases, and adding a second 140mm fan (which is provided) is often not possible due to RAM clearance or clearance of other motherboard components. Still works great with only one fan in the middle (cooling an i9), as long as you dont overclock too much.

> 3 dayI used to always pair my builds with an AIO liquid cooler, thinking that this was the best bang for my buck. That was before I tried the Noctua NH-D15.

Greater than one weekThe Noctua cooler was easy to hook up to my Asus motherboard, and had parts for both intel and amd boards. It is much quieter and cooler than the default cooler. It even allowed for slightly better benchmarks. The stock cooler i was previously running sounded like a jet engine, but now my laptop is louder than my gaming PC.

> 3 dayAbsolute beast of a heatsink. Takes up a huge amount of space in my case and weighs a ton. You literally cannot hear it working, even on full load on an overclocked CPU, its pretty much silent unless you put your head right inside your computer. Temperatures are fantastic, and it was relatively easy to attach it. Only downsides are the weight and size, but if you dont care about that and just want a silent PC thats also overclocked, then forget about watercooling, all you need is this badboy. I spent five minutes just laughing at how ridiculously huge it was before installing it. I get about 50 degrees C with it on full load on my overclocked 6600K, NICE!

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. |
