> 3 daySecond one of these I have used, both excellent. Good cooling ability and quiet at low loads. Colors are odd/unique, but I’m in a closed case and more concerned about performance, for that it gets 5 stars.

Greater than one weekHabe bereits den nhd 15s seit über 10jahren, läuft tadellos. Jetzt habe ich für den Zweitrechner den nhd15 als Ersatz für kaputte Aio Wasserkühlung gekauft als gebraucht vom Hersteller. Alles top, keinerlei gebrauchspuren, komplettes Zubehör vorhanden.

Greater than one weekGreat product! I (easily) installed this in the non-traditional vertical profile on my Sabertooth Z170 Mark 1 motherboard, and it has been going fine since the install. Idle temps are low, and the operational temps are hardly any higher (just using the 4.2GHZ boost for now from the 6700K). Looking forward to doing some overclocking with this bad boy to see what can really be accomplished!

> 3 dayFantastoco!!! Ambedue le ventole sono silenziosissime, calore mai sopra i 60 gradi. Consiglio d 15 al d14 per via della ottima ventala in più a pochi euro di differenza

> 3 dayVentirad imposant, efficace et silencieux. Linstallation des ventilateurs peut être laborieuse si votre carte mère est déjà dans le boîtier.

> 3 dayCeci est un excellent ventirad pour ceux qui ne veulent pas de watercooling. Actuellement sur mon Ryzen 9 3900x je tiens en dessous de 40 degrés facilement. Bruyants à fond oui mais c’est normal. Les ventilateurs peuvent être silencieux aussi selon les réglages. Par contre c’est très très imposant ! Attention à ceux qui ont un tout petit boîtier. Je dois enlever le ventilateur du milieu pour accéder avec un bâton au socle de la carte graphique pour pouvoir la retirer :/ Pas pratique

> 3 dayI made the switch from a 360mm AIO to this, mostly due to anxiety about water damage in my rig. I had read several reviews saying that the premium Noctua air coolers had equivalent performance and took the plunge.
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. |
