Greater than one week- Probably one of the best air coolers in the market (multiple tech sites like tomshardware, overclock.net, etc. will confirm this)

> 3 dayAs warned by others this is a beefy cooler so i could only fit it one way on my Asus Z97 Pro Wifi-AC with cosair vengeance ram (CMZ16GX3M4X1866C9R). Otherwise it looks fantastic and keeps my 4790K nice and cool on full load (around 50-60degrees) in a fan setup (fractal design r5)

> 3 daySaw a 20 degree drop from the stock cooler at idle and a 30 degree drop from high load while running a burn in test. Amazing product.

> 3 daydissipatore veramente enorme, occhio alle dimensione del case, io ho dovuto alzare leggermente la ventola frontale per non farla battere sulle ram a basso profilo e mi tocca la paratia del mio case, un corsair c70, naturalmente svolge egregiamente il suo lavoro, ho un vecchio i5 3570k occato a 4.2 e le temperature in gioco non superano i 55-56 gradi, su prime 95 non vado oltre i 66-67, la facilità di montaggio è veramente una bella cosa, era il mio primo dissipatore e lho montato in meno di 15 minuti dando solo una occhiata veloce alle istruzioni, dentro poi cè di tutto, dalla pasta termica di ottima qualità al cacciavite bello lungo per avvitare senza dover faticare, anche limpatto acustico è minimo, in idle praticamente non si sente, in full lo si percepisce a malapena, uno dei dissipatori ad aria migliori in circolazione
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. |
