Greater than one weekOnce I got it in I was replacing one of my old air coolers that was not doing so good. This particular cooler is waay better and yes its very big but it did manage to fit inside my Antic 300 Illusion case on my Asus Sabertooth Z77 board.

> 3 dayIm getting 29c @ idle, on a (stock) i9-9900k. Never gets over 68c under load. What else can I say???

> 3 dayExtremely pleased. I came from an H100i V1. The H100 pump was failing after 3 years giving me temps of 90 -100 at load (no OC). When it was working I was getting up to 80 under load and 40-55 idle (again no OC). I now get 20-25 c idle and no higher than 60 c while running prime 95 and heaven benchmark at the same time with an overclock at 4.2Ghz (3.6 stock). This makes it clear to me that AIO water cooling is a complete failure aside from aesthetics.

> 3 dayruns cool even under heavy load. comes with two 140mm fans so you can either use just one or both depending on your cooling needs. it is also very quiet. i hardly notice the sound. imo this is the best air cooler that money can buy.

> 3 dayI loved mine...It was super quiet, and reasonably priced. It died this morning. I have had it installed on my NAS which is on 24/7 for approximately 1 year. I thought it would last longer but today it showed my fan was not operating, and I check, and found zero airflow on the CPU Cooler fans.

24-09-2024Dieser Lüfter wurde bei mir mit einem Sockel 115x verbaut und ließ sich super einfach montieren. Die Beschreibungen sind leicht, präzise und übersichtlich aufgeschrieben. Egal für welche Sockel.

> 3 dayI cant fault the Unit but I had underestimated that it wasnt just height or width issues but I needed to relocate the GPU and that had to be slot 3 due to Z270 requirements which buried my Sata connections. It also sits too close to memory for my liking but the Unit is brilliant although my Z270 re-jig took two days. CPU temperatures are now below the Kraken X42. I use an Enermax Giant box and only just fitted it as the side fan enclosure drops down into the box. Now done/up and working and quiet and cool and a 6 year warranty.
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. |
