Greater than one weekGreat heatsink with an easy installation. I have used this with a 4670k as well as my current ryzen 3600 and both performed wonderfully with this product. Highly recommend.

Greater than one weekThis cooler is amazing. I cannot get this cooler to pass 55 degrees celsius on a stock i7 6700k @ 4.0GHz. This performance is incredible even compared to a water cooler like a H100i and is not audible under light loads and very quiet under heavy loads in a noise cancelling case.

> 3 dayKeeps my 5930k running at 4.6ghz nice and cool (Low 70s in OCCT with AVX). Very quiet as well. From my perspective, its a better choice than any of the AIO water coolers, runs within a few degrees of the best of them, quieter, and if a heatsink fails your PC will overheat and shutdown, if a water cooler fails you may destroy some components.

> 3 dayThis CPU cooler is absolutely amazing & whisper quiet. It dropped my i7-87000k temperatures 20c! (Overclocked at 4.8GHz) CPU has not exceeded 65c even after hours of Battlefield 3,4 & Hardline. Thats jaw dropping, considering at 4.8GHz it used to reach the mid to upper 80s - so YES a 20 degree drop in temps under load. I was running a Corsair water block cooler with a push/pull dual 120mm fan setup & this Noctua crushes it.
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. |
