> 3 dayI used the wraith prism on my Ryzen 3900X for a couple of weeks, it was too warm (around 85c at load) and very noisy. My Cinebench R20 scores were around 6800. Now with NH-D15 my CPU idles at 28-30c and goes up to 65c at load, 70c on AutoOC. That increased Cinebench R20 scores to 7250 on default settings, and 7400 on AutoOC. Also, Its so quiet.

> 3 dayGot this cooler for my new ryzen processor. Im doing crypto mining when not using the computer so it was important that it could handle the CPU with all 24 threads at 100% over a long period of time. I had two old AIO (Corsair h100i v2 and a Kraken x63) and both could not handle my i7 7700k after a long period of gaming, so I got this Noctua as an upgrade and it works PERFECTLY.

> 3 dayThis cooler is fairly easy to install, and works great. Though, without installing the second fan it is impossible to install the ram in the first slot and makes it harder to install the second slot, for my motherboard anyway. I would just keep it in mind that half of the heat sink and possibly the second fan will hang over your ram making it difficult to access the 2 or 3 slots closest to the cpu.

> 3 dayOnce I got it in I was replacing one of my old air coolers that was not doing so good. This particular cooler is waay better and yes its very big but it did manage to fit inside my Antic 300 Illusion case on my Asus Sabertooth Z77 board.

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. |
