> 24 hourYou can read other reviews for this cooler and get an overall gist of this thing. Its big. Its pretty heavy. Its quiet and performs well. Some reviews say that it is easy to install. This may be relative to past Noctua models, but I found it to be a bit different than others that I have installed.

> 24 hourMöchte hier gerne eine Rezension für den Noctua NH D15 abgeben. Obwohl ich den Noctua ausnahmsweise nicht bei Amazon gekauft habe. Allerdings habe ich etliche Gehäuse-Lüfter von Noctua über Amazon bezogen.

> 24 hourMake sure to do your measurements for your case correctly, cause this is a beast to deal with if you dont. Honestly though? It has insane performance. Considering Im using 8700k, the temps are consistently under45c for any amount of load Ive put on it so far.

> 24 hourCostoso, gigantesco, pesante, ma tutto passa in secondo piano quando hai temperature che con una sola ventola non superano i 30° in idle e i 50° in full dopo ore e ore di test. Il miglior dissipatore in commercio, niente altro da aggiungere.

> 24 hourNot sure about it (havent done all that tests like reviewers), but feel like it could have better performance for this price. There are definetely cheaper competitors at the market. Nothing bad about fans, however. Its Noctua, fans are perfect.

> 24 hourMoved and sold my old PC. I never did a themed build because well I didnt really care. Plus I dont like side view panels. I did on this one, and I am in aviation so I themed my build off of that, decided to make the NH-DH 15 my jet engine in stealth and all black build (except for the brown fans).

> 24 hourThe cooler is big, so good for CPUs with multi-cores that tend to run hot.

> 24 hourMy AMD Ryzen 7 2700 has been running at 25c since I started using this and I cant recommend it enough. Strong and durable build quality that mounts like a champion to motherboard. Manufacturer was really nice to mail me the AM4 mounting kit free of charge (which took several weeks with no tracking). My CPU is the coolest part of my system. I recommend overclocking even if just a little if you use this.
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. |
