> 3 dayI bought this for an I7 10700k because i was having serious cooling issues with a 30$ heatsink. I purchased a water cooling system from kraken thinking it would be overkill but turnned out to be a massive disappointment and barely performed better than the 30$ heatsink. Finally after reading enough reviews i decided to try the NH-D15. I purchased a new case just to fit this monster but it was well worth it. The cooling is exactly what i had hoped for. It keeps the 10700k around 26-34c idle and peaks at around 78-80c when under 70-80% load on all cores. Previously with the water cooler it was hitting 100c and shutting down under the same load. If you need extreme cooling this is the heatsink for you. The only issue I have is one of the fans is making a very annoying whining noise that is quite loud, but I will update this as soon as I receive the replacement.

> 3 dayMy old desktop setup had 3 triple fan radiators cooling my CPU and GPU. I overall enjoy this noctua setup more. It is 100x more quiet, I barely notice it on high rpm with my headphones off. Keeps my CPU in good range (i9 7900X) despite it being known to run a bit warmer than most. Assembling it is easy to do, I have my setup in an intake configuration. You can choose to install a single fan, but I went with two because well...... it came with two. It is a very large setup, and it will be pretty tight. It will likely cover your ram slots (still usable), and will be extremely close to your graphics card. I may eventually rotate my airflow, but from my original installation I thought it wouldnt fit against the gpu. Overall, I highly recommend.

> 3 day$100 cooler and it didn’t even come with the m4 screws. It just assumes you have the original backplate and screws in order to install it.

> 3 dayI had a MSI AIO before this and my temps were hitting over 100 degrees on idle with my R7 3800X. So I decided to go back to air cooler now with this cooler my cpu sits between 40-55 degrees on full load now. Definitely worth the money

> 3 dayNoctua build quality kit. This is a beast. Mounting mechanism is the best on market and its pretty quiet but not the ultimate cooler any more. But Noctua will supply mounting kits for newer sockets as they come out so a worthwhile long term investment. Quality costs but this is worth it

21-11-2024Los ventiladores son prácticamente insonoros a nivel normal de uso, su instalación es bastante simple con el manual y el desarmador incluido es muy útil para para el resto del ensamblaje. Su forma también no afecta a las memorias ram.

> 3 dayAmazing. It alsomt doesnot take my 5950x to above 51 degree even at overclock.... liquidcooler are showoff with minimal performance. Invest on this though.

> 3 dayNeeded something to tame the heat of a 5800x3d. Temps typically stay under 70C and rarely if ever hit 80C even when playing Microsoft Flight Simulator despite my setup only using one of the included fans
The NH-D15 chromax.black is an all-black version of Noctua’s award-winning flagship model NH-D15 premium-quality quiet CPU cooler. Thanks to the same proven dual-tower heatsink design and NF-A15 PWM fans, it stays true to the NH-D15’s successful formula of rivalling the performance of all-in-one water coolers while maintaining superb quietness of operation. At the same time, the chromax.black version with its black fans and black coated heatsink combines these assets with a sleek stealth look. Topped off with the renowned SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua’s enthusiast-grade NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-D15 chromax.black is a deluxe choice for both overclockers and silent enthusiasts who seek an elite-class heatsink that looks just as great as it cools.

|---|---|---|---|
6 heatpipe dual-tower designAs compared to conventional single tower heatsinks, the NH-D15’s fine-tuned six heatpipe dual-tower design provides more surface area, better heat-distribution and superior airflow efficiency in dual-fan mode. |
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. |
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). |
Colour-customisableUsing the optional NA-HC3 and NA-HC4 heatsink covers as well as the NA-SAVP3 anti-vibration pads (available in black, blue, green, red, yellow, white), the NH-D15 chromax.black can be fully customised to fit popular build colour schemes such as black and red or black and white. |
