> 3 dayWorks great so far. It really is huge so beware of the dimensions of your case. Other than size, install was easy with two brackets in the back and just four screws on the front. In case anyone is wondering, it fit in my Corsair Graphite Series 230T. It’s kept my i7 8700k cool.

> 3 dayAfter my car started overheating, I got very worried. Then, I hear Linus Tech Tips joking about strapping a Noctua cooler to his car. It is NO JOKE! Now, even when overclocking, the max temp of my 8 piston engine stays below 30 degrees celsius. I have no more use for my radiator.

Greater than one weekThis is a big cooler. It takes up a lot of space in the cabinet - but wow - so much air-cooler surface area! It has plenty of clearance all around with my Gigabyte Z690 UD AX DDR4 motherboar, however there isnt enough room to mount the 2nd fan if you orient the fans front to back - the 2nd fan collides with the memory modules. I think there would be room going top to bottom, but I didnt try that.

> 3 dayHoley Bologna. This thing is a beast in both performance and size. My temperatures peak at ~50C on my 6600K running at 4.6GHz while gaming, and holds steady at 25C while web browsing. The mounting hardware couldnt be easier to use or inspire more confidence in sturdiness. This cooler is also essentially silent; whether I am on a TF2 binge or running Fallout 4 on ultra setting I cannot hear it. These fans are so nice, Im considering upgrading all of my case fans to these Noctua fans even though they are this ugly cream/brown color.

Greater than one weekI highly recommend the Noctua line of CPU coolers and fans. Their products are of a very high Quality. Apart from quality their products are easy to install. I was instantly able to tell the gradient of quality between the Corsair A500 and Noctua NH-D15. Running on i9 9900K (stock)

> 3 dayIl miglior dissipatore ad aria. Abbastabza facile da montare. Molto ingombrante sia in altezza che larghezza. Verificare la compatibilità con motherboard e case prima di acquistare.
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. |
