Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4, Premium Dual-Tower CPU Cooler for AMD AM4 (Brown)

Very good cooler - but it just barely fit into my full tower case! So, be sure to measure. My Fractal Define XL tower is 9.1 wide, and it barely cleared.

I am one of the dont have a motherboard people...

An absolute cooling machine. Great instruction manual, easy to install, and keeps my CPU at ~30C idle. Only knock is that I wish it were in a different color than brown, but thats personal preference.

Installation was easy, no issues with the mounting bracket with my Ryzen 7 1700x. I currently do NOT have an OC on the chip, but I am planning a 4.0Ghz OC. Install took about 10 minutes, even with the motherboard attached to my case. Was fairly intuitive, having installed a smaller noctua fan on a different system and an AIO H100i v2.

you dont have to search for other CPU coolers if your budget allows u to get this Noctua, trust me

This unit is a beast! My chip barely gets warm! Fast tech support! I needed a different mounting bracket that they offered free of charge.

Big. Cant fit my side panel. Does the job of cooling a Ryzen 1700X temporarily until Corsair ships their AIO AM4 bracket.

Noctua has been doing this for a long time and are one of the best at it! Fantastic product! Some might find it slightly difficult to install due to the size but its worth the effort and generally not really all that difficult. Noctua is my 1st choice for a HOT system, meaning a powerful one. The fan comes extremely well packed and with everything needed, including thermal paste. Definitely a class act! Very Highly recommended!

If you want the best air-cooled heat sink on the market Noctua cant be beat with there price and performance & quality products thatll last for years!

Performance and quietness as advertised
