> 3 dayWas a breeze to install on my 3900x, idles around 40F in my 80F room. Ive had to take it off a couple times to reach other components (this thing is huge) but it takes about 60 seconds to take it off and not much longer to reinstall. It runs very quiet load. I use thermal grizzly conductonaut thermal paste. I have only one fan installed otherwise it wouldnt clear my ram.

> 3 dayI should have checked the size for my new case. This top of the range cooler doesn’t fit in the Lian-Li O11 mid case. My fault.

> 3 dayThe mounting instructions are really clear, the performance 34-37 °C on my system with an i5-12600k and RTX-3080, it reaches 45-48 °C on CPU with MSFS ultra settings. The sound level is pretty good too.

Greater than one weekPrestazioni spettacolari, lho montato su un ryzen 9 3900x. Ho dovuto sostituire una delle ventole 140 con una da 120 (sempre noctua) a causa delle RAM che ho montato (abbastanza alte) .Con qualche ritocchino diventa anche moto carino da vedere

Amazing Customer
> 3 dayGreat quality and quiet fan. I learned a valuable lesson that for optimal cooling the size of cooler makes a big difference. I paired this with a 12600K, replacing the much smaller NH-D9L that I installed originally and it brought my temps under load down from 100C to 75C. A little undervolting and I’m now getting 65C temps under load. A huge improvement and I had no idea that such a difference could be had by upgrading the cooler.
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. |
