> 3 dayThis might be the ugliest fan on the market but it keeps my Ryzen 4th gen very cool. Extremely impressed by the low sound levels and effectiveness.

> 3 dayGreat fan, easy to install as long as you have room in the your case and height for your ram, I bought low profile ram so that I could fit both 140mm fans in. Keeps my Ryzen 3900 under 80 degrees even on PBO overclock maxing all 12 cores on prime 95 for several hours.

12-06-2025The only thing I want to point out is you should check how much room you have around the CPU area. If you have to lift the fans (move the further away from motherboard, which you can do) they will get REALLY loud at high speeds.

> 3 dayCe ventirad est plutôt silencieux, le packaging est complet mais le montage est vraiment complexe. De plus, je trouve que le prix est plutôt élevé pour un ventirad. Il reste de bonne facture et paraît solide mais je vous conseille de partir sur un water cooling.

> 3 dayThis is an absolute golith of a cpu cooler and only just fitted in my msi case so make sure you dont risk it like I did. Make sure you check if it will fit your case, coming from water cooling I can tell you it will keep your cpu cool and its really quite also which is always a good thing. I have a ryzen 5 5800x and that runs that around 31c on Idle but this will depend on various things such as airflow, amount of fans and also what the ambient temp is. Ill be sticking with aircooling from now on.
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. |
