> 3 dayI love the look of this cooler, totally blacked out!! I cannot find anything to dislike about this cooler, truly. The only tricky thing was getting the threads started of the spring loaded mounting bolts. You only need a half turn of the first bolt, then half turn of the other bolt... And so forth. My temps are no different than a 240mm AIO cooler (Meshify C case). Im running a 9900k @ 1.315V/5ghz/all-core for gaming, 3DMark benchmarking @ 1440 (no worries!), coding, tinkering, etc... Im all good.

> 3 dayThe performance of this monster exceeded my expectations. It reduced the package temp of my processor exactly 30 degrees. Ready to do a commercial for this cooler! No need to spend more on expensive AIO coolers. Installed in under an hour. 5 stars!!!

> 3 dayLogró hacer una diferencia de 10 grados con mi Ryzen 7 2700x, normalmente se mantiene a 40 grados. No sé si haya sido un error de instalación mía porque por ahí veía que podía llegar a enfriar todavía más.

12-06-2025It’s great works as intended. Make sure to have clearance to put it in the case it’s quite big.
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. |
