> 3 dayNot as great as I expected. A bit noisier then expected and so damn big. Difficult to work around.

> 3 dayOk, so I went the AIO route first, which Ive had good experiences with previously. But when I had a pump issue in the first two weeks, I asked myself, why am I complicating something that should be reliable and easy? After a little investigation to ensure the Noctua would fit my case and motherboard, I went with the NH-D15. I couldnt be happier. The device is elegant, easy to install, and most importantly keeps my CPU as cool as the AIO did. Since installing the Noctua cooler, I consistently see the system under 45 degrees at some load... and idle in the low 30s. At full load, the cooler is whisper quiet and most importantly, I dont have to wonder what happens to my system if the pump stops working. This cooler is perfect for me! If youre considering options to keep your system cool, I strongly encourage you to take a look at this cooler. Assuming your case and MB are compatible, youll love the performance and simplicity!

> 3 dayThis fan is awesome. I have a PC with an Intel i9 9900k processor. The PC was originally liquid cooled and after about a year the pump on the cooling system stopped working suddenly. I replaced it with the factory recommended intel fan and it sucked. From what I have read the i9 runs hot and the intel fan could not keep up. It was loud and ran constantly. I am a pretty heavy user and use my PC for 6 to 8 hours a day at a consistently moderate load. After a couple weeks I had enough of listening to the Intel fan struggle so I ordered this Noctua fan. Wow! This thing is awesome. Keeps my temps in the high 40s to low 50s consistently all day with out a problem. It’s sooo quiet you’d have to put your hand to the PC to feel for airflow to know it’s running. I’ve been running it for about a month and I can say this is a great choice. It is a pretty large unit so be sure it will fit in your case. Will update after another few months for longevity.

> 3 dayBought this to replace a Corsair AIO that failed and works good on a 220 TDP Processor. Would be 5 stars but one of the Included fans makes a decent noise (thinking it might be a bad bearing) where the other fan is dead silent.

> 3 dayThis is the best cooler without using a water loop. Way better than the cheap AIO cooler that is designed and built for people to look like a cool kid. Its much easier to install than a premium DIY water system that will cost 2x/3x more and take 100x longer to install. Yeah I said 100 times longer, 2 minutes to install this, while some people will actually take OVER 3 HOURS planning the cooling system routing, making bends, connecting the fittings, testing for leaks, filling with coolant, then trying to purge out the air bubbles. Plus this heat pipe cooler is just as good as the best DIY water cooling system plus no risk of getting the PC wet.

Greater than one weekAble to keep my stock OC 3900x comfortably idling at 45C and at load around 65-70C. Your mileage may vary depending on your silicon luck, but this product is extremely quiet and has great heat dissipation. Would highly recommend. The packaging was also outstanding, and it comes with a generous amount of thermal paste.
