> 3 dayInstalled the DH-15 for less complexity with adequate to superior cooling in comparison to a closed loop AIO. My H80i exhibited symptoms of a failing water pump after approx a year of use, and with COVID pushing me to work from home, I need my machine to remain available 24/7. With an alarming increasing occurrence of water pump reducing its flow to zero, and having to perform immediate restarts frequently, I would have a constant disruption in productivity. The DH-15 has proven itself so far, and Im very happy with my purchase.

> 3 dayAn absolute cooling machine. Great instruction manual, easy to install, and keeps my CPU at ~30C idle. Only knock is that I wish it were in a different color than brown, but thats personal preference.

> 3 dayInstallation was easy, no issues with the mounting bracket with my Ryzen 7 1700x. I currently do NOT have an OC on the chip, but I am planning a 4.0Ghz OC. Install took about 10 minutes, even with the motherboard attached to my case. Was fairly intuitive, having installed a smaller noctua fan on a different system and an AIO H100i v2.

> 3 dayI bought 2 of these coolers for 2 PCs I was building based on reviews I read. The reviews were spot on, These coolers are excellent. Easy to install and keep things running cool. Just make sure you have enough room for it, it is very large...

> 3 dayI was having problems with my pc shutting down due to high temperature when under heavy load. I had one of the basic Corsair water coolers. I had already taken it off and reapplied the thermal grease and cleaned the radiator to make sure that is was done correctly but it was still overheating. Running CPU testing software I couldnt make it through even half the test without reaching 102c and having the computer go into protection mode and shut off. With this cooler I can run the same test and never got over 82c. I can even overclock if I want to now.

> 3 dayIdles at 40c, max 68c, sits well over RAM, had to move GPU to lower slot for easier installation although I could have kept it in place.

6 heatpipe dual tower designAs compared to conventional single tower heatinks, the NH-D15"s fine-tuned six heatpipe dual tower design provides more surface area, better heat-distribution and superior airflow efficiency in dual fan mode. |
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. |
