> 3 dayTo my supprise this air cooler out paces my beloved 7 year old 240mm nzxt kraken and then some. Was even Abel to overclock fx8350 from 4.0 to 4.7ghz at comfortable temps.

> 3 dayCooler is insanely huge and barely fits in my full size case, renders my tempered glass panel useless since it covers most of the motherboard from view.

Greater than one weekWhile researching coolers for a new build, AIO solutions intrigued me. But I was worried about the potential for pump failure rendering it useless. After some more research, I found that was actually a problem, also small water pumps are noisy. So I decided to stick to air coolers, as if a fan fails itll be inconvenient at worst. Noctua and Be Quiet! came up as the two I should look at for quiet operation.

> 3 dayLes radiateurs Noctua sont les meilleurs sur le marché. Aussi trouvé sur ce stock une surface inférieure IHS très incurvée. Le mettre sur une table bascule tout le chemin pendant quelques secondes.

> 3 dayI was using an H100i V2 from corsair and the temperatures were starting to get outrageously high even on idle, I had reapplied thermal paste twice. Not sure if it was just because over time it wore out or what but I had only had it for about a year and a half or so.

> 3 dayOvviamente pagando il prezzo per un noctua la qualità che si riceve é ottima. Sono inclusi i mount per praticamente tutti i moderni processori sia Intel che amd. Inoltre ci sono due ventole da 140mm che sono davvero silenziose, praticamente non si sentono. La installazione é stata facilissima però non é stato possibile montare tutte e due le ventole nel mio caso, anche se la RAM che monto é molto slim. Questo probabilmente ha anche cambiato la performance, però comunque il mio processore rimane sui 70.

> 3 dayKeeps my 5800x at ~76C° under full load while not blowing my eardrums out. One thing to keep in mind is that this is a really big cooler, it is about 1cm away from hitting the tempered glass panel of my Bequiet Pure Base 500. Would definitely recommend
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. |
