> 3 dayi was using the stock 3900x cpu fan and every now and then you could hear the fan going. so i got tired of hearing it and put this in and now it is so quiet that the only time you hear it is if you take the side panel off.

> 3 dayGreat cooler, very impressive performance. If you are using it on an LGA-1700 board, be aware that the listing states you need to buy a separate mounting kit. The fan I received (December 2021) had the updated mounting kit already included, no need for the extra item (Amazon refunded).

> 3 dayGreat air cooler but could only install 1 of the fans due to tall ram but thats on me. Still does a awesome job

Greater than one weekGreat build quality, quite possibly the best air cooling setup you can get. Noctua also support their products far longer than most, by supplying mounting kits to allow their older coolers to be used for newer socket types, so probably one of the few components that will be reusable in your future pc builds. Fan quality is also second to none, very quiet even at high rpm and I have never had one of these fail even after many years of heavy use. Highly recommended.

> 3 dayDer Lüfter arbeitet selbst bei einem Ryzen 9 5950X zuverlässig mit sehr guter Kühlung bei gleichzeitig geringer Geräuschentwicklung.

> 3 dayExactly what Ive heard about Noctua, now I get to see it for myself. Spoiled myself a little with the chromax black, needed it to complete the aesthetic. The price difference for being black, though - yikes. Perfect cooler for my latest build.

> 3 dayExpensive yes for air cooling but this thing is big, quiet and cools better than the water cooler it is replacing at half the price, with the advantage its cheap to replace a fan if one fails in years time.

> 3 dayMassive fans. They dont fit in a normal case and the fan lays on top of my ram
The NH-D15 chromax.black is an all-black version of Noctua’s award-winning flagship model NH-D15 premium-quality quiet CPU cooler. Thanks to the same proven dual-tower heatsink design and NF-A15 PWM fans, it stays true to the NH-D15’s successful formula of rivalling the performance of all-in-one water coolers while maintaining superb quietness of operation. At the same time, the chromax.black version with its black fans and black coated heatsink combines these assets with a sleek stealth look. Topped off with the renowned SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua’s enthusiast-grade NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-D15 chromax.black is a deluxe choice for both overclockers and silent enthusiasts who seek an elite-class heatsink that looks just as great as it cools.

6 heatpipe dual-tower designAs compared to conventional single tower heatsinks, the NH-D15’s fine-tuned six heatpipe dual-tower design provides more surface area, better heat-distribution and superior airflow efficiency in dual-fan mode. |
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. |
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). |
Colour-customisableUsing the optional NA-HC3 and NA-HC4 heatsink covers as well as the NA-SAVP3 anti-vibration pads (available in black, blue, green, red, yellow, white), the NH-D15 chromax.black can be fully customised to fit popular build colour schemes such as black and red or black and white. |
