> 3 dayI ordered this CPU cooler to replace a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo for a i7 8700k upgrade. The CM was keeping my temps around 35 degrees idle but up to in the 50s during a medium load. And it was struggling to even do that. The fan rpms were steady at 1500 and it was causing case fans to run high too. I knew that I needed a cooler upgrade. I decided to go with the Noctua because I could never get comfortable putting a liquid inside my case (too many total loss reviews). I have no regrets. My temps are >30 degrees at idle with a silent >500 rpm. I have yet to be above 40 degrees without purposefully stress testing. I ordered 2 Noctua NF-A15 chromax.black.swap fans to replace the brown/beige. I used the brown/beige fans to replace my case fans to reduce noise. You cannot go wrong with these fans!

> 3 dayQué se puede decir, quien ha usado Noctua sabe que es calidad y esta pieza no es la excepción, cabe aclarar solo unos detalles al ser tan grande debes escoger bien la tarjeta madre donde lo colocaras, sino ten por seguro que chocara con alguna pieza, además hay que tener cuidado con el perfil de las memorias RAM ya que quedan por debajo del ventilador frontal y si las memorias tienen disipador puede que no quepa bien.

> 3 dayCe ventirad a donné un second souffle à mon PC ; je recommande ! Attention à la hauteur du ventirad cependant, le mien dépasse un petit peu dans ma tour dans laquelle il était censé rentrer. Cela na pas deffet particulier sur le produit si ce nest que je dois légèrement forcer sur la tôle de la face amovible de la tour pour pouvoir ouvrir/fermer la tour.

> 3 dayMontreux, ultra efficace, plus performant que certains AIO. Il ne faut pas être allergique à la couleur des ventilos (ou ne être du style a exhiber les entrailles de son PC) mais sinon cest LA bestiole pour refroidir un CPU raisonnablement overclocké.

Greater than one weekUn prodotto dalla qualità eccezionale. Superiore alla maggior parte dei sistemi di raffreddamento a liquido. Consigliatissimo.
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. |
