> 3 dayIt keeps my i7 8700k (over clocked to 4.5-5.0 ghz) below 60 when playing games like r6 siege, COD Modern Warfare 2019 and Battlefront II all at max settings, only problem is I can only use one fan because my ram is to tall

Greater than one weekPerfect cooling can’t complain except for depending on the mounting you might need to have the fans a little higher up on the heat sink and with a Mid size tower case it pokes out enough that the door won’t close. Luckily for me my case door poked out a little so it was a very snug fit. Depending on the mid sized tower case you might have trouble closing it.

> 3 dayI have used Noctua in my last 3 computer builds and find their coolers reliable, fault free, and they work fine. I never liked water cooling and this does the trick to keep my 9900K to less than 120 Degrees under full load testing and under 100 degrees playing the most processor intense games for hours on end. Not completely silent, but works with my motherboard connectors to have software control the speed based on useage. All in all a great PC cooling fan.

12-06-2025Très bonne ventilation du processeur et avec ses deux gros ventilateurs, tout le PC en profite. Très silencieux. A recommander. Attention tout de même car la bête prend beaucoup de place dans le boîtier ! Peut recouvrir notamment les barrettes mémoire

> 3 dayThis is a big cooler. It takes up a lot of space in the cabinet - but wow - so much air-cooler surface area! It has plenty of clearance all around with my Gigabyte Z690 UD AX DDR4 motherboar, however there isnt enough room to mount the 2nd fan if you orient the fans front to back - the 2nd fan collides with the memory modules. I think there would be room going top to bottom, but I didnt try that.

> 3 dayThis thing was insanely hard to install. I had to put more pressure than I was comfortable with but my wife helped and when it finally installed all that stress went away. I was just afraid of damaging my CPU since you really do have to put some muscle and finesse the screws in. this thing is absolutely Massive too btw.

> 3 dayLe due ventole praticamente non si sentono e riesce a raffreddare anche un over clock spinto.

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. |
