> 3 dayI was scared of purchasing a cpu that seemed so much complicated to install. After getting tired of seeing my PCs idle temps averaging around 50c to 55c I had had enough and started searching on the forums. Almost every review had this cooler beating or equalling the performance of some known AIO water coolers. I am glad I made the decision to go for this cooler instead of the AIO since this cooler is crazy quiet while keeping my cpu temp around 26c to 30c!! Thats almost half the average temps I was getting with the Intel fan!!

> 3 dayQuiet and effective. Watch out for ram height. It barely got in my case with second fan installed.

Greater than one weekSilent compare to my old (and also huge) heatsink. Installation is a breeze, everything is provided for both AMD and Intel CPUs,excellent cooling, tools, y splitter in case if you decide to power both fans from one connector, and even special speed reducing wiring for even less noise at expense of less cooling (will work if you do not go overboard with overclocking - I did not). A special note - my motherboard (ACER) would not boot proper because it did not recognize working cpu fan (due to powering both from y splitter) - just disable warning if it happens (after checking if fans actually do work!) or use both cpu fan connectors if applicable. Overall quality product, expensive yes, but very well done as it should be.

Greater than one weekOh my oh my. Where to start?
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. |
