    Cooling factor is really great, but I cannot use both fans , the front one blocks my ram slots so I had to remove it. so be careful before buying it.

    Tenho o ryzen 7 5800x ( idle 30/35 graus em jogo 60/65 graus ) e trabalha igual a um watercooler de 240mm.

    First time using a noctua coming from a Corsair AIO water cooler. This fan is amazing and I am getting 38c idle and 80c on max stress (5900x - 100% on all cpus). The fans are incredibly quiet even at 2000 rpms. Noctua took about 10-15 minutes to install and has great instructions along with all accessories needed to get your CPU operating and cooled in no time (thermal paste included). Noctua also does a great job on providing all details via their website for their coolers and avoid clearance issues by providing many types of specifications. Highly recommended and will be using Noctua moving forward for an of my cooling needs.

    Was baught for Ryzen 7900X, but top CPUs of the 7000 series of AMD is too HOT for this cooler. 95C thermal limit after 3-4 seconds at full load, but frequencies holds around 5,2 GHz - a little bit closer to factory 5,3GHz, but not anough . I recommend NH-D15 or AIO.

    It replaced a Noctua nh-9Us. A necessary move upgrading from a R3 1200 to a R7 5800x. Temps went from almost immediate thermal throttle at normal gaming use and upper 70s regular web browsing (I have it set to throttle at 80c even though they supposedly run well into the 90s by design) to it hangs out in the 50s-60s. It will slowly creep up to 83 under a stress test when I temporarily turned the throttle to stock (which compared to reviews of the 5800x Ive seen, is really good, lots of low-mid 90s from what Ive read), but it has never passed 70 otherwise. Nothing against the nh-9Us, that kept my 1200 under 45c under any circumstance, its just the 5800x runs real hot and regularly clocks itself at 4.50+ instead of the 3.8GHz its rated for. Some sort of self overclock? Either way, this helps keep it at bay. Like I said, most situations keep to the 60s now instead of 80 or higher with the nh-9Us. And that cooler was 15c cooler than the stealth that came with my 1200. Never tested the stealth on the 5800x because it was already too much for the 92mm. Only reason for 4 stars is because its louder than my (admittedly single fan) 92mm same brand predecessor and cost over 100 bucks. Forgot to add that the system temps for both is ~30-35c, however probably due to more heat dissipation by new cooler, it now occasionally hits 40c. Current case is ThermalTake T-100 minitower iTX. Vertical config with heat exiting top of cooler to top of case Noctua 140mm fan for exhaust case fan.

    Works like a charm, keeps cpu temps nice and cool, and was so effortlessly installed. A great choice for an Air Cooler!

    Advertised as fitting z690 board but had to mount it sideways to fit my dominator ram sticks.

    Very quiet fans, mounting system is great. Really nice to have LGA 1700 supported out of the box. However cooler is extremely large and was pretty much touching my ram.
