> 3 dayI went from a AiO cooler on my i7 9700k Ocd to 5.3 GHz. It kept it in the higher 80s under stress tests and pretty close to that playing Anthem. Once this was installed the high 80s went to mid to high 60s and this is after a 30 minute stress test to ensure everything got nice and warm. Very impressed on what this air cooler can do!

> 3 dayThe heat pipes are pressing on my ram. This is the mb I am using. ASUS - TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS WIFI Socket LGA 1700 USB 3.2 Intel Motherboard. Think I am going to have to switch to something else for cooling.

> 3 dayIve had this Noctua NH-D15 cooling my Ryzen 9 3900X CPU for the past year now. Have not had any thermal throttling, Idle temps settle around 39C, and under full load peaks at around 78C. If you have a current gen chip, unless youre overclocking this cooler will be more than enough. If you ARE going to overclock, Id recommend going with a liquid loop to cool your CPU instead. Otherwise, this is hands down the best air cooler Ive ever used.

> 3 dayI wrote a review of this cooler a couple days ago, but that was purchased for a build in 2018. An indication of my appreciation of the NH-D15 is that I selected it for my next Intel build which I finished yesterday. I decided to write a second review to add info from my most recent experience.

> 3 daySuper disappointed that it couldn’t cool my processor. Super hard to mount. Was way overhyped, wish I could still get my refund.

> 3 dayThis cooler works great if you dont mind staring at a massive hunk in your PC. Only problem with this is depending on your motherboard the bottom fo the cooler is very close to the GPU making it hard to remove the GPU. I did struggle a bit to put this on and the second fan doesnt fit over the ram nicely so I cannot fit my tempered glass side panel on.

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. |
