Noctua NH-D15, Premium CPU Cooler with 2X NF-A15 PWM 140mm Fans (Brown)

So, my only complaint really comes from my own ignorance when purchasing. My lack of experience in building PCs lead me down a path of running into some wiring issues due to the size of this fan. Its quite large, and makes installing it a bit difficult if you have a smaller case. Additionally, quite a bit of force needs to be applied in order to force the fan into place.

Since Noctuas founding in 2005, theyve always prioritized quality over aesthetics. And while this cooling system may look like the art project of a 5 year old who has only ever seen the colors beige and red, it embodies the wisdom parallel to that only of Master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda, in that there are no accidents.

Pros

Long time fan of noctua products and they did not disappoint with this cooler. Very good performance.

Cest très gros. Vérifier la compatibilité avec vos autres pièces. Ça fonctionne très silencieusement et efficacement.

Havent installed yet, but was very surprised at how large this thing is, its also quite heavy. Seems like my CPU will be icy cool as long as it fits inside my case.

Einfacher geht nur mit Intel Stock Kühler, der kühlt aber nur bedingt. Der NH-15D ist sehr leicht zu montieren, habe an einem 1200 Socket verbaut. Davor hatte ich Dark Pro 3, auch sehr gute Kühlleistung aber die Montage war eine Katastrophe. Ich war kurz davor den Dark Pro 4 zu kaufen, aber dann mich doch für den Weltmeister entschieden. Bis jetzt erster Kühler (abgesehen von o. g. Intel Stock Kühler), der nachträglich montiert werden kann, also nach MB Einbau in die Gehäuse, das macht viel aus! Auch wenn man später die Wärmeleitpaste erneuern muss, kann MB drinnen bleiben, nur 2 Schrauben und der Kühler ist draußen.

Let me begin by stating that this CPU cooler is massive. It covers up about 45% of my motherboard. Make sure before purchasing that your RAM is compatible with this behemoth of a cooler. Luckily, Noctua thought of this problem ahead of time and have allowed for the ability of changing where one may mount the fans on the heat sink. Just make sure that your RAM wont interfere with it at all. Also, some people, although I have never encountered it, have been able to place there side panel back on due to the sheer size of the cooler. You can make sure by checking the maximum size for your case. When you begin assembling, I can not stress enough to make sure you connect your CPU fans to the pins before you screw the heat sink down. When I was attempting to connect the CPU fans to the pins after I had screwed the cooler down it proved to be impossible and had to unscrew it. One question I constantly see all over the internet pertains to the weight of the cooler. Many people are scared due to the size and weight, they fear that it may break or bend the motherboard. In extreme instances it may, depending on the thickness of the board, and if one constantly moves their computer around. If you plan on moving your computer a lot. Make sure you take the cooler off, sudden shakes or constant vibration can actually cause the board to break. However, if you are going to keep the computer stationary, the motherboard wont break due to the cooler. Noctua has a very good mounting system so you dont need to fear it. The only real complaint I have about this cooler is the cooler of the fans. Noctua really loves their brown fans and thats what the cooler comes with. It can really look unappealing but you can fix this by just buying their black fans. But temperatures for this cooler are amazing. I have a 9700k overclocked to 5ghz and will get around 25-30 degrees idle and a max of 60 degrees while under load. I may have just won the silicon lottery but I would like to think that the cooler is doing its job. In summary, make sure this cooler isnt too big for you. Do research pertaining your parts just to be sure. If everything fits well, then go for it! This cooler is an absolute beast and will keep your CPU extremely cool!

Seit 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.

avec un i7 9700 k a 5ghz monte 60 degre genial une betes de course
