> 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.

09-06-2025Ok, this thing is awesome! First let me say I managed to mount this beast with both fans inside a Corsair 100R computer case on a Asus X370-Pro motherboard with a Ryzen 1800X CPU. I also mounted two G970 G1 Gaming video cards in SLI as well. Does it fit? Yes it does! I am absolutely amazed at how quiet it is. I have another system with liquid cooling that is loud compared to this setup and it is rather quiet itself. Like others have mentioned I had to look to be sure the fans were running. The fans are 1.57 watt max power each which is very low power consumption and can easily run on most motherboards from one 4 pin connector. The unit comes with plenty of power cables to connect one fan or two to a single motherboard power connector and it even comes with speed reduction cables in case you want the fans to run even slower/quieter than they already are (believe me you wont need to slow them down at all...they are whisper quiet). At idle the CPU runs at 34C. Havent tested it under max load yet but I doubt it will be as high as my liquid cooling setup on my other system.

Greater than one weekI found the price a little bit higher at first, but my son insisted on getting this for his desktop build. Received it next day, installed without any problem. Very powerful yet quiet.

|---|---|---|---|
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. |
