Noctua NH-D15, Premium CPU Cooler with 2X NF-A15 PWM 140mm Fans (Brown)

Instructions for install were as clear as they could be, and it made a definite immediate difference in both my CPU and Case temperatures compared to the stock fan I had earlier. Its also very, very quiet. Im only running one of the two fans due to space restrictions but it still idles in the 30s C and hangs around the 60s C while gaming, all with nary a whisper of fan whir making it out of the case. Definitely worth the money.

Un SIGNOR dissipatore, il meglio sul mercato. Mantiene la temperatura al di sotto dei 40 gradi dopo 3 ore di gioco (scheda video EVGA GTX970 Ftw+ ACX2.0+

Let me begin by stating that this CPU cooler is massive. It covers up about 45% of my motherboard. Make sure before purchasing that your RAM is compatible with this behemoth of a cooler. Luckily, Noctua thought of this problem ahead of time and have allowed for the ability of changing where one may mount the fans on the heat sink. Just make sure that your RAM wont interfere with it at all. Also, some people, although I have never encountered it, have been able to place there side panel back on due to the sheer size of the cooler. You can make sure by checking the maximum size for your case. When you begin assembling, I can not stress enough to make sure you connect your CPU fans to the pins before you screw the heat sink down. When I was attempting to connect the CPU fans to the pins after I had screwed the cooler down it proved to be impossible and had to unscrew it. One question I constantly see all over the internet pertains to the weight of the cooler. Many people are scared due to the size and weight, they fear that it may break or bend the motherboard. In extreme instances it may, depending on the thickness of the board, and if one constantly moves their computer around. If you plan on moving your computer a lot. Make sure you take the cooler off, sudden shakes or constant vibration can actually cause the board to break. However, if you are going to keep the computer stationary, the motherboard wont break due to the cooler. Noctua has a very good mounting system so you dont need to fear it. The only real complaint I have about this cooler is the cooler of the fans. Noctua really loves their brown fans and thats what the cooler comes with. It can really look unappealing but you can fix this by just buying their black fans. But temperatures for this cooler are amazing. I have a 9700k overclocked to 5ghz and will get around 25-30 degrees idle and a max of 60 degrees while under load. I may have just won the silicon lottery but I would like to think that the cooler is doing its job. In summary, make sure this cooler isnt too big for you. Do research pertaining your parts just to be sure. If everything fits well, then go for it! This cooler is an absolute beast and will keep your CPU extremely cool!

I got this cooler as part of a new custom-built desktop for myself. I decided to go all air cooled as my previous computer used two AIO coolers, which were good, but heavy and expensive. I chose this as I researched and found it’s the best in the business; offering incredible cooling performance, while being almost half the price of an equivalent AIO.

Der Noctua NH-D15 ist ein extrem guter Lüfter. Ich besitze ihn seit gut 2 Jahren und wenn beide Lüfter erst einmal auf 100% laufen, muss man eher Sorge haben, dass die CPU auskühlt. Aber, man sollte ebenfalls bedenken, dass dieser Luft sehr groß ist! Damit man überhaupt den Seitendeckel des Gehäuses wieder schließen kann, ist ein Full-tower-Gehäuse angebracht. Und... er bringt sehr viel Staub mit sich. :)

Do not be fooled. This is a monster of a Heat sink.

Hands down the best cpu cooler on the market.

Pros

The directions were the best that I have ever found with any computer product. The product quality looks great and the fan is silent.

I have a rig with i7 - 4790K OCed to 4800MHz on Z97AC mobo with NZXT ATX extended case.
