> 3 dayDer Kühler mit dem beiliegendem Lüfter ist im Betrieb extrem leise. Ich hatte wegen des exorbitanten Preises Vorbehalte, aber das was der Kühler abliefert ist wirklich beachtlich.

Greater than one weekI was originally using the stock intel cooler on my core i7 940 and found that during games my CPU could reach 90 degrees and throttle my system to prevent any potential damage to my board. This was partially due to the clamp on the stock cooler where it was a plastic push pin. The tension wasnt good enough to allow heat to dissipate.

> 3 dayI would have to say the fact that this cooler keeps temperatures as low as 90 percent of the liquid coolers for half the cost is awesome. I love this thing, quiet, easy install, and comes with everything you need including a 6 year warranty. Shows you that they stand by there product!

Greater than one weekI had a close system water cooler that was failing only 1.5 years after I bought my computer. It would idle at 95 C. With this, I idle at 40 C, and hope to not have to replace it for many more years than 1.5.

> 3 dayEasy to install as the instructions were detailed, clear and concise. Fans are quiet, but definitely cools down the CPU.

07-06-2025i bought this cpu fan for my first pc build— I had no experience in building a PC before this. this fan was recommended to me by a friend. for me personally, adding on this fan was the most difficult for a couple of reasons:
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. |
