19-11-2024I have a AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core and have been using the stock fan for about a year. I have always used the CPU stock fans in my computer builds but that is now something I not going to do anymore. I installed this baby and cannot even force my CPU to heat up. With the stock fan playing high graphic games the case fans would spin so loud I would have to increase my speaker volume just hear over it. Not any more, I hear whisper quiet operation. Worth the money spent and I am throwing away the stock fan.

20-11-2024Overall best air cooler on the market, easily keeps my ryzen processors temperatures in check while being near silent. And I only have one of the 2 fans installed as my ram was in the way of the second fan

> 3 dayBeats my full size 420mm AiO hands down, gave me another 100Mhz on my Intel i9 9900 CPU clock because heatpipes seemingly conduct the heat away from the CPU far far quicker than any amount of water.

> 3 dayIl top per quanto riguarda il raffreddamento di CPU. E riuscito a spengere i bollenti spiriti del mio i7 4790K (sotto carico di HandBrake) cosa non riuscita a Corsair i80.

Greater than one weekTja, was soll man da groß sagen, es ist ein Noctua Kühler und dem entsprechend hervorragend, hält selbst einen auf 5ghz übertackteten, nicht geköpften 8086k im angemessenen Bereich.

Greater than one weekThis cooler works better than my water cooler with a lower noise level. The only downside is the weight of the cooler which could result in the motherboard bending over the time

> 3 dayTemperature dropped from 50 to 28 at idle. Was able to overclock from 3.4 to 4.5 GHz easily, havent tried higher yet but CPU was at a cool 65 degres. Really well built, installation instructions are very clear.

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. |
