true reviews
> 3 dayIt’s not a bad fan, and I’m more than sure it would work just fine. However, it’s a large fan that definitely would not fit a small PC with a large graphics card. Make sure to check the sizes BEFORE purchasing this. It’s a lot bigger than it looks in the pictures. Like I said, I’m more than sure the performance of the fan would be fine, so don’t knock it until you try it.

> 3 dayKeeps my CPU (Intel Core i7 8700K) at a frosty 28C at idle, even inside a case with sound-proofing (Nanoxia Deep Silence 3).

> 3 dayIf you care more about colors and cool lights, then look elsewhere. What we have here is the equivalent of an american muscle car wit ha v12 engine that runs so quiet that it could be confused for a prius.

> 3 dayThe install required installing a backplate, so try to install the processor and this cooler before putting the motherboard into the case. The installation procedure is pretty simple and intuitive. The fan cools well. This was my first build and I didnt struggle to understand it. So far the cooling is wonderful! No complaints yet

> 3 dayGreat cooler. I understand its supposed to fit if you have all your ram seated but with slots 3 and 4 filled I cant use the second fan. With one fan though this cooler is doing the job keeping my 13700k under 65C
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. |
