> 24 hourThey love to tell you based on the award winning D14 design! What they dont tell you is that compared to the D14 this has only ~60% of the surface area that the D14 had, but costs just as much if not more! It seems like theyve discontinued the D14 tho, cause if you go to the Noctua website it is nowhere to be found, only the D15 is available now. Id love to see some hard data on D14 vs D15. Atm all I can say is that Noctua still makes great heatsinks... I just cant help but feel we are getting less for our dollar...

> 24 hourWas worried about the size of the unti but whilst still chunky fits in well. A very good choice for a cpu cooler.

> 24 hourThe mounting of the Noctua was pretty easy, but I did not realize that the second fan was unusable with the ram being in the way on the crosshair IIV hero. Still better than stock. So be warned.

> 24 hourI love NOCTUA products and leaving a one star is hard for me to rate but in this case someone at Noctua is asleep on their job and not supplying all the parts or verifying! ☹

> 24 hourBest cpu air cooler hands down. Just make sure your case is big enough. Very easy to install.

> 24 hourI had to change one of the two 140mm fan for a smaller 120mm one, because my ram is high profile. It might happened to you but know that its possible to change it.

> 24 hourAmazing cooler, just make sure it has clearance over your RAM. I originally had it on an AMD cpu until I replaced it with an intel cpu. It comes with all the parts needed for both and was easy to install, disassemble, and transfer between rigs, even of different chip sets.

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. |
