> 3 dayMounting was easy, however for my gigabyte b650m motherboard, it was too wide when trying to install my power color RX-6950XT

> 3 dayLarge but one of the best air-coolers out there. I used mine to replace a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. The Noctua has reduced my CPU temp by several degrees under load (gaming). Colour scheme isnt something Id have choosen, and its a shame you cant get this with black fans. Its very large, so youll want to check that your case can accomodate it. Now if only my case didnt have a window on the side...

> 3 dayIt was much better than i had expected. After installing this monster I have been won over by aftermarket heat-sinks once again. For a period of time I had went with water cooling but I found them to be annoying to mount especially when the thermal paste required a change. This thing mounted so easily once you got the brackets in place that Im never turning back. Thermal paste changes should be a breeze in the future and this thing keeps my system quite cool in comparison to a lot of the previous liquid cooling solutions I used by Antec and Corsair. Its ultra quiet and extremely efficient. Oh one thing I should mention though... Despite the fact they give your RAM room to seat under the overhang of the massive heat-sink. You definitely will not be able to mount your second 140mm fan on or above your RAM it simply will not fit unless youre using an open air rig or some massive cube case. However the mounting system is quite universal you can easily just mount the fan on the other side and it works just fine. Just keep that in mind when you buy your motherboard and or RAM with bulky heat spreaders.

Greater than one weekThrew this baby on my i7-8700k, keeps temps well below 60 no matter how hard I push my rig. This cooler is massive so please make sure it will fit your case before purchasing or youre going to have a bad time.

Greater than one weekSOLD the Corsair H100i All-inOne Liquid Cooler, which was at least 8°C to 15°C higher, and replaced with Noctua NH-D15.
Built on the basis of the legendary NH-D14 and carrying on its quest for ultimate quiet cooling performance, Noctua’s flagship model NH-D15 is an elite-class dual tower cooler for the highest demands. Its expanded heatpipe layout and two premium grade NF-A15 140mm fans with PWM support for automatic speed control allow it to further improve the NH-D14’s award-winning efficiency. Topped off with the trusted, pro-grade SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-D15 forms a complete premium quality solution that represents a deluxe choice for overclockers and silent-enthusiasts alike.

Widened fin stack and expanded heatpipe layoutCompared to the NH-D14, the NH-D15"s fin-stack has been widened from 140 to 150mm and its heatpipes are now spaced further apart, which allows for a more uniform heat distribution over a larger surface area and thus contributes to the NH-D15"s superior efficiency. |
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). In chassis with more than 165mm CPU cooler clearance, the front fan can be moved upwards to make room for memory modules taller than 32mm. |
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. |
NT-H1 thermal compoundNoctua"s much-acclaimed NT-H1 is a well proven pro-grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease-of-use and outstanding reliability, which makes it suitable for use in professional server and workstation environments. |
