> 3 dayBut duh, I bought this case before most of yinz even knew about Fractal. Ive had my case since 2009 and tbh the only part that I think was worth more money is this cooler. Just fit it this morning, took maybe an hour as my AMD Vishera was welded to the stock radiator, but after some acetone and a razor, it has been freed. Currently writing this review on my rig with the new cooler. Quietest and coolest my home office has ever been, which post covid is definitely necessary. May was reported as our hottest month yet, and political beliefs aside, I want to continue to crank out fps and work with my old af 8 core Vishera. The only reason I would replace this unit is to draw the heat toward a legit traditional column radiator. Yes, Im crazy, and yes, I plan on hooking one up next winter as I live on a mt. in Pittsburgh. Trust me friends, this cooler is worth the time and money.

> 3 dayfirst-class performance, the only downside is it is kinda bulky.

> 3 daySicher sagt sich nun der ein oder andere, dass ich mit Kanonen auf Spatzen schieße, aber ich bin ein Freund von kühleren Temperaturen im Gehäuse. Genutzt wird dieser riesige Kühler auf einem 3700X im Normaltakt und hält ihn dementsprechend kühl im IDLE bei rund 45 Grad und unter Last mit ca 57 Grad. Das Ganze in einem Dark Base Pro Gehäuse und dementsprechend guten Airflow.

> 3 dayWorks great with my AMD FX 8350! Can be tricky to install on a non fresh build, but worth the effort! Must better than stock!

> 3 dayWow! This CPU cooler performs beautifully! I originally had the AMD Wraith Prism cooler on my 3700X and it would usually do the mid 70 degrees Celcius stock speed on the AIDA Stress test. Now with NH-D15, I am getting low 60 degrees Celcius on my CPU! Highly Recommended! Beware you need a big case to fit 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. |
