> 24 hourWas having trouble with high temperatures using my old liquid cooler on my latest computer build. After investigating the reviews I found out that an air cooler is better than liquid! This cooler lowered my temperatures and its dead quiet.

> 24 hourUne bonne solution pour mon i9 en lga 1151, refroidissement conforme aux attentes. Températures moyennes à 80-85°C lorsque le CPU est à 100%, et environ 50°C au repos. Le bruit est vraiment négligeable on ne lentends presque pas.

> 24 hourBest aircooling for 9700k and 9900k overclocked to 5ghz as long as you know how to adjust the voltages of your motherboard.

> 24 hourI had a 360 nzxt aio on my cpu but the pump died so i decied to run air for once. this cool is huge so make sure it fits the case and over your ram. this cooler out preforms my old aio, i would recomend it any day of the week. im running a 10700k at 5.5 ghz and under load my max temp was at 65c the fans didnt even come close to ramping up. this also comes with their own thermal paste in a tube you apply it. all and all im happy with this product and would say do it over a aio.

> 24 hourThis one will block the first pcie port on some motherboard, so better to check the motherboard compatibility before ordering.

> 24 hourThe heatsink is absolutely huge, and it is not recommended that one keep removing it. Since I am building a PC, I have had to fiddle with a few parts, but this giant heatsink is very much in the way. Not only that, but its edges are razor sharp. I have cut my hand open on it several times (blood is running from my finger as we speak).

> 24 hourThe second fan hangs over the RAM so make sure you have low profile.

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. |
