> 24 hourIts been less than a month and i have noticed that when the fan speed increases there is a high pitch sound coming from them. When there is no load they are silent though! I dont expect them to be silent under load, but the high pitch sound does not seem normal. I am thinking that i may have faulty fan(s).

> 24 hourAls mein Karton geliefert wurde war ich kurz geschockt. Der Karton deutete schon ansatzweise an, was für eine Größe der Kühler haben könnte. Die Montag verlief nach Anleitung super schnell. Ich musste den äußeren Lüfter höher setzen, weil meine HyperX Speicherriegel durch die Kühlkörper minimal zu hoch waren. Durch Das höhersetzen des äußeren Lüfters wurden mir leider auch die letzten 1-2mm Luft zwischen der obersten Lüfterkante und der Gehäuseklappe meine BeQuiet! SilentBase 600 Gehäuses geraubt. Der Kühler liegt nun zwar mit der weichen Kunststoffdämmung auf der Innenseite meiner Gehäuseklappe auf, allerdings entsteht hier kein großer Druck, sodass Folgeschäden quasi ausgeschlossen sind. Falls doch welche auftreten sollten, werde ich das natürlich für alle die, die das gleiche Gehäuse haben, nachtragen.

> 24 hourDer Kühler hält die CPU schön kalt und ist fast nicht hörbar. (Getestet mit i7 4970k 4,4ghz und i9 9900k 5ghz)

> 24 hourCe ventirad a donné un second souffle à mon PC ; je recommande ! Attention à la hauteur du ventirad cependant, le mien dépasse un petit peu dans ma tour dans laquelle il était censé rentrer. Cela na pas deffet particulier sur le produit si ce nest que je dois légèrement forcer sur la tôle de la face amovible de la tour pour pouvoir ouvrir/fermer la tour.

> 24 hourIt does a nice job of cooling but its huge. It blocks access to the memory modules on my motherboard. I replaced it with a smaller Cooler Master model that is doing a good job too. Im running an Intel Core i9 CPU.
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. |
