> 3 dayIs quiet and cools well however I couldnt fit the 2nd fan in the case and it was too big (fan) to fit over the memory and still close the case. Was not easy to install with having to attach the clips for the fan in the middle after screwing in the unit to the motherboard. Was a pain to install!

> 3 dayThe install required installing a backplate, so try to install the processor and this cooler before putting the motherboard into the case. The installation procedure is pretty simple and intuitive. The fan cools well. This was my first build and I didnt struggle to understand it. So far the cooling is wonderful! No complaints yet

> 3 dayi7-4790k with mild overclock to 4.5 gHz runs around 38 deg C under everyday loads (3d modeling, data processing, etc) and idles at 28 deg (email, internet, office programs). When stressing the processor it gets to 78 deg but does not need to throttle the CPU because it just doesnt get too hot.

> 3 dayA good cooler keeps my 5820k at reasonable temperatures and is barely audible unless you really crank the fans up (which isnt necessary for good performance). It is is absolutely huge though! I have noticed I will need to remove it before I can remove the graphics card as the clearance is so tight. Shame you cant get different colour schemes too, might be an issue for people who have windowed cases?
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. |
