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

Its a beast. Nothing to say that hasnt been said in other reviews. This works at good as my water cooler cooler did and its half as noisy and I dont need to worry about having water leaks. Only thing to watch for is it is HUGE... thats what she said.

I cant write much as I have yet to install but in the package, I didnt get the thermal compound in the accessory box.

I bought this for the Ryzen 3950x on an ASRock X470D4U motherboard, and it keeps the CPU around 68-74*F at sustained Full Load. It blocks a RAM slot on this board in the given configuration, but it can be changed by 90* to allow a full bank of RAM. It is also a touch too tall for my 4U rackmount case, so I just keep the lid off. The kit contains all of the hardware needed to mount in any orientation for AM4.

Fantastic. I was able to drop my temps around 15 degrees C compared to the stock wraith spire. Running my ryzen processor at 3.8 ghz at 60 degrees C during prime95 stress testing. On Idle its running around 30-35. Playing PUBG or Overwatch on max settings my processor is running around mid-high 40s to lower 50s.

That thing is MASSIVE. (TWSS)

To put it simple, this legend is PERFECT! A deluxe choice for overclockers and silent-enthusiast alike.

It was a little bit difficult to install in a fractal design meshify c case. Not much room to work with and it sits very close to the video card. I went into it thinking it would be 10 or 15 minutes to install it but it took me well over an hour. However with all that said, it is absolutely fantastic and whisper quiet. Stock heatsink on a 2600x I was getting 40c idle and around 65c full load. With the Arctic freezer 33, 35c idle 55c full load...b with this big mama Im getting 26c idle and topping out at 42c full load.

I love the product. I can barely tell its on when at full speed and it keeps everything nice and cool. Im personally a fan of the tan/brown color scheme of it so it fits in nicely and it does a great job

Installed with my 5800X to replace a terrible cheap fan I installed as a stopgap. WORKS GREAT. SYSTEM RUNS ICE COLD. USE A MESH CASE FOR THE BEST AIRFLOW! I CANNOT OVERSTATE THIS.

Pros: As far as performance, it is doing a great job keeping my Ryzen 5 1600x cool while gaming but my case has lots of in-flowing air due to multiple 120mm case fans so your mileage may vary. While not perfectly silent, its really quiet and shouldnt be noticeable to most people. During gaming sessions my processor never heats up above 41c, and thats with a mild overclock using Ryzen Master. Thats right on par with my old AIO water cooler, before it leaked all over my video card! Installation was a breeze! Seriously, I dont understand how anyone could have trouble discerning the instructions. It even uses the original backplate so you dont even need to remove the motherboard to install it. It took me 10 minutes to have it installed and running.
