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

Doesnt fit well in a normal sized case had barely enough room

Surprisingly easy to install! The packaging is just premium stuff, really tight! amazing job! I had to keep a FAN out because of the high profile RAM that I have but well its a replacement.

I was having problems with my pc shutting down due to high temperature when under heavy load. I had one of the basic Corsair water coolers. I had already taken it off and reapplied the thermal grease and cleaned the radiator to make sure that is was done correctly but it was still overheating. Running CPU testing software I couldnt make it through even half the test without reaching 102c and having the computer go into protection mode and shut off. With this cooler I can run the same test and never got over 82c. I can even overclock if I want to now.

My cpu doesnt even know what a fever is.

It keeps my Ryzen 3700x at +16c idle from ambient temp, very quiet even at 80% speed, It seems to run hotter than expected but temps are still okay. A bit finicky to install in a smaller case but it worked out in my NZXT h500i.

Total Silence, great product, you just need a big case, Ryzen 1700x below 45c

28 degrees gaming lol

Works fantastically and I cant hear a thing. It is huge though but wasnt an issue for me in my full size case. Try to keep dust to a minimum inside, its a dust catcher and it isnt fun cleaning out the tiny fins. My fault for not using dust filters on my intake fans.

It seems like a very nice cooling system but it just would not fit in my case and the temps still seemed a little high even with the side panel off. Temps was running 95c and higher under a load.

I put this on a Ryzen 9 5950x and it’s holding its own against it. Super hot cpu! It should be water cooled but if budget and longevity of liquid systems are a concern, this is the answer. In a hot environment, I’m between 70-85c. Not my preference but it’s working. If your system is crashing during install, double check the fitting and use both fans while increasing the fan levels to ramp up sooner.
