Greater than one weekJust like everyone else thats saying that everyone else is saying about this CPU cooler--its fan-tastic. Its summer time, and my ambient temperatures get really hot most afternoons, but the NH-D15 doesnt seem to care about the heat.

> 3 dayJe suis un fan de Noctua et ce refroidisseur rempli tres bien ses fonctions. Le niveau de bruit est tres faible et la temperature du CPU est basse sans OC. ( 28 @ 50 degc ). Le boitier doit etre de bonne dimension pour linstalation. ( Antec P280)

> 3 dayPour moi, le meilleur refroidisseur sur le marché, le savoir faire de Noctua se démarque encore une fois par leur bruit ultra silencieux

Greater than one weekgrazie a noctua , finalmente ho risolto il problema del surriscaldamento del processore. Finalmente mi sono liberato del raffreddamento a liquido. Da oggi in poi non devo piu controllare liquido.

14-06-2025This is the best CPU cooler Ive ever had!! With two fans installed - is better than more single fan eatercoolers - and some double fan water-coolers , if you have this one - forget about water-cooling :)

> 3 dayThis fan is large. My brother had a pre built computer that only had trash cooling. The system only had a rinky dink processor fan and a exhaust fan. So we bought this to replace the processor fan. The only issues were that the fan was too large for the case, the metal spikes at the top hit the case glass, preventing it from closing. So see bought another wider case. It fit in there. Then I attached the second fan to the heatsink fins and because the ram was right below the ram caused the fan to be too high to close the case. This was solve by using a 120mm fan instead. It seems to work just fine. The manual says both fans are not required. The size of cooler is very large and covers up smaller motherboards. Also the fan attachment is a little strange but OK. A
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. |
