> 24 hourWas a bit nervous about fit in my case and with the front fan that hovers over the RAM. Used low-profile RAM and adjusting the front fan position up is easy to do.

> 24 hourThis cooling monster is simply spectacular! I managed to fit it on a tiny ITX board (MSI Z490 ITX Unify) with both the fans and some low profile RAM using an i7-10700k in a tiny case. Easy to install (at least for me, some people complain that its difficult). Full of accessories with clear instructions and videos online, the L.N.A. included cables work brilliant and my self build PC together with a quiet tiny SFX P.S. is practically a silent PC. I use it for VST instruments and audio recording in live situations or with very sensitive microphones and some minor video and photo editing and this monster keeps its silent cool in a tiny case no matter what.

> 24 hourGreat product but please make sure it fits in your case as the front fan that sits up as of the ram does not let me put the window back on the case

> 24 hourSeit jeher hat Noctua mein Vertrauen, und dieses wird auch bei der aktuellen Generation nicht enttäuscht. Der Kühler ist ganz klar einer der besten den man, sofern man auf Lüftkühlung setzt, derzeit verwenden kann. Meine Core i9-9900K CPU (Alle Kerne auf 5GHz) bleibt damit unter Last (Games etc.) immer unter 60°C. Dabei sind die Lüfter unter 1000rpm. Als Tip: Schaut davor auf der Noctua Website ob das Monster auf Euer Mainboard passt.

> 24 hourEasy to install with the motherboard out of the case. Supplied screwdriver is soft producing swarf so ditched this for a regular electrical screwdriver as I was concerned about having swarf shorting components.

> 24 hourThis cooler hangs over and leans on the Memory. It also blocks the first PCIe slot. Needless to say, I am downsizing to Noctua NH-U12DX i4.

> 24 hourSuperb CPU cooler, even though its very big it is very good at keeping my temps low as opposed to having to worry about a leak with liquid cooling.

> 24 hourBig cpu cooler but fit my corsair 400C case and kingston hyper x rams, I can easily close the side panel and the fan is still like 1mm above the ram
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. |
