> 3 dayI initially balked at the price of Noctua fans (not to mention the markup on the chromax variant), but decided to bite the bullet for a new build and I am very happy to have been proven wrong. Any noise from my new desktop is almost purely the graphics card, this cooler keeps my CPU temps solid with scarcely more than a whisper. This air cooler makes me very content I didnt bother with water cooling because this is more than enough for my needs.

> 3 dayThis does not fit in an Asus ROG Crosshair VII Hero in the two fan configuration. Heat sinks on the motherboard hinder the installation of the second fan and make it impossible to install. This is still an awesome cooler even with one fan.

> 3 dayDissipatore ad aria migliore che ci sia, anche con le ventole al 100% non si sente nulla, ma comunque non andranno quasi mai al 100% visto la dissipazione mostruosa delle due torri e le 7 heatpipe, poi tutto nero da un tocco di classe veramente bello, se volete il meglio della dissipazione ad aria questo è quello che cercate.

> 3 daySeriously good! It work perfectly. Dropped 10-15c depending on the room temperature. It looks amazing. JUST BE AWARE THAT THIS THING IS BIG! 165mm tower, so mesure before buying. Not al ATX case can house this.

Greater than one weekKeeps the CPU super cool and its silent. That thing is huge, be sure to take measurements before buying it. The right fan goes over the RAM slots, so any RAM sticks with heat spreader (or RGB) will probably wont fit, I have low profile modules and the fan sits(not touching, maybe 1mm) on top of them. My case is a Corsair 200r and it barely fit.

> 3 dayEasy to install. This CPU Cooler lowered my overclocked CPU temperature by 20 degrees !!! Dont use liquid cooling until you have exhausted fan solutions. A local computer repair shop mentioned that they get broken Desktop PCs, where the liquid cooling has leaked inside of the PC.

Greater than one weekIm very impressed with the Noctua NH-D15 CHROMAX.BLACKs cooling ability, Im glad it lives up to all the reviews Ive seen. In my H500M case, along with a Noctua NF-A14 iPPC-2000 IP67 PWM exhaust fan, it keeps my Ryzen 9 3900X at 32°-35°C idle (background processes like Steam and MSI Afterburner running). In BIOS, CPU temp sits at 29-31°C idle. I havent done any intense benchmarking, but when I run my most CPU demanding processes/games, I very rarely see the temps go over 65°C (Ive maybe seen it reach this temp once), let alone 55-60°C.
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. |
