> 24 hourWhats to say, the cooler lives up to its reputation, as for the colours, they are a love or hate situation, you either love them or hate them. Personally I think it adds character to the build, but thats just me.

> 24 hourKeeps my OCed i7-3770k (4.5 Ghz) below 50°C under heavy load and is QUIET, much quieter than any AIO water cooler. Just make sure it will fit in your case, cause its a monster.

> 24 hourThis is the best fan that fit my 3070 gpu. Perfect clearance. Quite until it needs to work hard and cool down my rig.

> 24 hourNoctua fans, while not always being the most attractive, you know what youre getting. You are receiving some of the best performing and quietest fans you can get. With proper airflow this easily performs to out-performs water coolers, and even without it will do a great job.

> 24 hourVery good CPU Cooler but the size is MASSIVE, just check your case and motherboard prior to build, I had a hard time putting this on in my case but after the CPU temp is just awesome and its x2 fan is doing an amazing job with controling noise level.

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. |
