> 24 hourI returned the item because it was too big to fit in my case... BUT performance was top notch (better than my KRAKEN X62, not even kidding...) If youre buying this make sure it fits in your case, its larger than what most reviewers make it seem. Other than that it was a solid product. The fans on it were really silent, even at top speed. Came with good thermal grease, and was well packaged. Really bummed by it not fitting in my case. If it wasnt a 200 pound case I would have kept it. Its so good that I am writing a review for a product Ive sent back.

> 24 hourtiene a bada un 9900k anche in oc a 5ghz ma per alcuni software che spremono la cpu i valori di temperatura arrivano a 92° che cmq non è termal trottheling... ho provato i sistemi a liquido, deep cool da 360, arctic da 360, enermax ma alla fine solo lui ha garantito il funzionamento in oc con punte di tdp di 205 w. poi per come è fatto tiene molto basse anche le temperature dei VRMMOS che per alcune schede madri di media fascia sono aspetti molto critici. Lo utilizza da due mesi e è stato spremuto per bene.....

> 24 hourIncredibly easy to install very quite and not as expensive as the liquid coolers, only thing is make sure it fits in your case before purchase since it is quite large

> 24 hourProduct worked better than expected. I did a modest overclock with my i5 7600k. Temp stays around 60C. Product is quite large but fit in my Corsair 650D case with ease. I have an MSI gaming 3 z270 board. I was able to install my NVME SSD with the fan installed. It covers my memory slots but allows ample room for my 1080TI in the first pcie 16x slot. Many boards this fan will cover the first slot which is usually 1x slot but in the case of my board the NVME slot is where the 1x slot would be.

> 24 hourBut the brown means a sign of quality. The hardest part of installing was debating between vertical or horizontal.

> 24 hourThe Fan clip which is holding onto the heat sink is too week and noticed it comes out couple of times and touch the heat sink, better to check the fan position whether aligned in the middle or not if you move the computer position.

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. |
