> 3 daySuper awesome fan. Yes, it is (very) expensive, but when I turn it fully up the CPU does not get hot and ... I can barely hear it.

> 3 dayIm running an I7 3820 turbo from 3.6 to 3.9ghz. Idle Temps are around 84 deg Fahrenheit and in arma 3 mod, all settings maxed out never gets above 104 degrees. Super cool, super quiet.

> 3 dayI used this CPU cooler in my desktop as i was replacing the stock cooler the coolers mounting instructions and kit was excellent and i had everything installed in about 20minutes it also includes enough thermal paste for about 20 attempts at installing the cooler Also Noctuas support was top notch and they responded to my questions within 2 days.

> 3 dayThis fan is quieter at full speed than my stock CPU cooler was at its slowest.

> 3 dayIf Noctua knew how many of these Ive installed for my customers over the past few years, theyd send me a black Shirt with a picture of the fan-loaded NH-D15 on it that said Im cooler than you, and I would match the shirt because Im brown, and I would wear it everywhere because Im cooler than everyone.

> 3 dayThis fan is just phonomenal. It is replacing an ineffective liquid cooling cpu fan which was allowing my CPU to overheat (or almost - it was throttling the performance). This fan runs at probably 40C cooler than my liquid cooling fan. Im not kidding...You will not go wrong with this fan and it is SUPER quiet. Love it!

Greater than one weekHas been cooling my build for a while and it is doing well. Although it only has one of the 2 fans attached due to the fan not able to clear the ram on one side and the mother board itself on the other. The second fan is about a 10% difference in temp.

> 3 dayBig fan. Noctua for some reason likes this brown tan color. But it produces such efficient cooling at the lowest decibels possible. Best cpu fan you can get outside of water coolers. Depending on the look youre going for this fan will do the job and more
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. |
