> 3 dayThe second fan doesnt have enough claerance for RAM. You can move it a bit further up, but then your case will probably not close.

> 3 dayThis thing is huge - if you have a mid tower like I do. I had troubles installing it, but it fits. Nice and snug

> 3 dayWhat a beast of an air cooler, absolute perfection! It comes with a wide variety of mounts, accessories and even thermal paste, Noctua did not cheap out. I wish every product I bought had this level of quality and value. With my 5900x the fans have to barely spin to maintain a maximum of 65 degrees under full load.

> 3 dayKühlt bei mir einen 8700K unhörbar. Mehr kann man nicht erwarten. Kühl, leise aber etwas teurer. Lohnt sich für mich aber.

09-06-2025Great cooler! Very now noise, Although the fan clips that attach the fans to the cooler are very weak thats my only complaint. If you are to get this cooler here are some ways to get the best tempatures with it: Make sure the fans are set at a good speed, Make sure that you Thermal interface (TIM) is spread on the CPU before instalation, make sure its a VERY thin layer of TIM. To much or not spreading it out on the cooler can cause bad heat disapation. Being this is the first noctua product i have owned, the quaility of these fans are amazing. They really push some air arround. So all around a great cooler!

> 3 dayPretty good cooler. It keeps the 12700k under 60 degrees celsius under heavy load. It is quite large so depending on the board it may make removing or adding RAM difficult. I had managed to mount it on a mini itx board and the heatsink cleared the RAM sufficiently.

> 3 dayThis cooler is amazing. Hands down. It outperformed both my hyper 212 evo, and even my NZXT Kraken x62. My Kraken died, so I had to use the 212 for a while. This cooler keeps my CPU cooler at a higher OC, on more CPU intensive benchmarks, than the 212 did on a lower OC with a less CPU intensive benchmark. Would definitely buy this product again.
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. |
