Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4, Premium Dual-Tower CPU Cooler for AMD AM4 (Brown)

Installation was easy, no issues with the mounting bracket with my Ryzen 7 1700x. I currently do NOT have an OC on the chip, but I am planning a 4.0Ghz OC. Install took about 10 minutes, even with the motherboard attached to my case. Was fairly intuitive, having installed a smaller noctua fan on a different system and an AIO H100i v2.

Big cooler but works great for Ryzen 7 5800x.

This is one of the easiest to install CPU coolers I have ever used. Locking it onto the mobo didnt give me that Im about to break something feeling. That enough was worth 3-stars. I chose the Noctua cooler after seeing good reviews in a side-by-side comparison video. It is quiet, works extremely well and I am happy and impressed. The only drawback for me was that my new case didnt have room or a place to mount the secondary fan. Extremely happy, I highly recommend for your next build.

This cooler tames my Core i9 12900k processor with no issues.

I could not choose a better cooler than the noctua I will never again water cooled its to scary coming from water cooled that broke and processor died on me

Ive got a ryzen 2700x, rund at 20 degrees celsius idle and 40-50c full load, its pretty incredible considering the fans are dead silent. Installation was very easy.

Huge heatsink with liquid cooler-like performance. Only complaint is more with inexperience, because putting the heatsink on once the motherboard was mounted was incredibly difficult. Hard to see what I was doing and admittedly took 2 people because of how large it is.

This thing is insane. Took my stock cooler from over heating while streaming overwatch at 90 C to maximum 40 C. Super quiet even without low noise adapters. Thing is huge in my tiny case but well worth with the improved performance. Well worth the price for performance!

Very quiet fan, the only thing need to pay attention to is the clearance.

Used this for my recent Ryzen 9 5900X mini-ITX build. A U12A would have worked, but my room typically hits 80+ degrees in summer, so I went for a bit of overkill. I am a developer, not a gamer, but I have peek workloads while compiling. Since this supports my profession, I went with the overkill for no surprises.
