Greater than one weekI recently decided to swap over from my Corsair H60 Push/Pull setup. I had bought it when I was running my AMD 8350 FX. When I swapped over to an i7 4790k 2 years ago the H60 did an ok job with it as well. Not as stout as on the AMD because of the increased thermals from the i7.

> 3 dayKeeps my CPU (Intel Core i7 8700K) at a frosty 28C at idle, even inside a case with sound-proofing (Nanoxia Deep Silence 3).

> 3 dayThis is the best CPU cooler Ive ever had!! With two fans installed - is better than more single fan eatercoolers - and some double fan water-coolers , if you have this one - forget about water-cooling :)

> 3 dayI bought this unit after my Corsair water cooler decided to commit seppuku and take my CPU with it. Ive had nothing but bad luck with water coolers and decided to go back to air cooling. But since I currently reside in the infernos of hell (ie my currently un-air conditioned 2nd story condo) I decided to go with the most powerful air cooler I could find. Well I got it.

> 3 dayExcellent construction, design and materials. My CPU (Ryzen 5 3600) temperature is brought down between 6 to 10 degrees Celsius. As you can see, its a whopper sized fan. Its pricey but Noctua makes high quality cooling products so I know its going to be good. I found it difficult to screw down the fan to the brackets and it took a long time to get that right.

Greater than one weekIt was larger than I expected and even had to take some plastic off of my motherboard but if you have a regular non s***ty over the top mother board then it will probably fit ok.

07-06-2025Whilst it is huge, but that does not matter- this is the very best cooler you can get
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. |
