## Description

Product Description 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 layout Compared 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 mode Thanks 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 fans The 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 compound Noctua'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. Measurements Height (without fans): 160 mm Width (without fans): 150 mm Depth (without fans): 135 mm Height (with fans): 165 mm Width (with fans): 150 mm Depth (with fans): 161 mm Weight (without fans): 980 g Weight (with fans): 1320 g Materials Copper (base and heat-pipes), aluminium (cooling fins), soldered joints & nickel plating Cooler Specifications Scope of delivery 2x NF-A15 PWM premium fan 2x Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A.) Y-cable NT-H1 high-grade thermal compound SecuFirm2 Mounting Kit Noctua Metal Case-Badge Fan compatibility 140x150x25 (with 120mm mounting holes), 140x140x25 (with 120mm mounting holes), 120x120x25 6 heatpipe dual tower design As 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.

Review: AIO levels of cooling in an air cooler - I begun having issues with my 240mm AIO, temperatures would reach 70°c at idle and would hit 100°c and throttle on any load. Obviously something was wrong and needed to get a replacement. I had seen many reviews of the Noctua NH-D15 online and was sceptical. How can a air cooler come close to the performance of my once beloved AIO? What tipped the balance for me was a change in requirements. My system runs 24/7 almost, and having a pump fail again during the night isn't really an option. Also, the NH-D15 is significantly cheaper than any quality 240mm which made me want to try. That plus desertcart's incredible returns policy meant is was pretty much risk free. The box arrived, it's rather large and heavy for its size. The packaging is mostly cardboard and minimal non recyclables, which is nice to see. Unpackaging the cleverly arranged box is almost a pleasurable puzzle. Installation instructions are simple, to the point and accurate. Just what you want. Out of the box I had Intel and AMD install options which is great. No AM4 support out of the box but you can order the bracket from Noctua free of charge if you require it. Installation goes fairly simple. I installed mine on an ASUS X-99 A 2 (socket 2011-3). Two brackets around the CPU slot, screw in. Add the included Noctua thermal paste. Then screw the cooler to these mounts with the included long reach phillips head screwdriver - a fantastic touch for simplifying the install process. Slight issue getting the second screw in to attach the cooler which took a few moments to sort out - turns out I wasn't pushing down hard enough. Clip on both fans using the metal wire brackets, plug shorter than case fan cables in to your motherboard, you can use the included Y-cable if you don't have the slots for 2 individual cables, you can also install the adaptors to quieten the fans - i personally set a fan curve in my computers BIOS, but it's up to you. You may also have conflict issues with your graphics card and RAM but you can rotate the cooler and move the fans if you do struggle to fit the cooler around your RAM. This cooler is VERY large and to get it in I did have to remove my graphics card to make the install a little easier. And that was it for install. Fairly straight forward, a lot quicker than an AIO. Into the first boot, MSI Afterburner reports a significant drop from the AIO temps to 32°c, some of the lowest temperatures I've ever seen on my system, even during winter. Loading up some benchmarks and stress tests to warm up the cooler proved un-eventful. With temperatures on a 4.2ghz overclock on an Intel 5820K only reaching 59°c. Pushing the overclock further to 4.6ghz (the highest my system has ever gone) got the temperatures to creep just north of 70°c. Doing this whilst remaining whisper quiet at full RPM - I couldn't notice any additional noise over my case fans. Negatives of the cooler: Aesthetics, Noctua does love it's beige and brown fans, it's symbolic to the company and is an instantly recognisable. You can replace the fans with the chromax series, these are all black fans with multiple colour rubber edges to stop vibrations at a cost. Pushing the cooler into quality AIO price territory. You can also get covers for the fin stacks if you'd prefer these to be a certain colour. However, for me that's not really an issue. Size of the cooler. It fits in my system, just. Some may have issues with RAM and graphics cards. Graphics cards can always be moved to another lower slot. RAM however, if you have particularly large RAM modules could be an issue. You can rotate the cooler and move the fans to accommodate the RAM but it is something to be aware of before buying. Overall though, this is a fantastic cooler cannot rate it highly enough. It's exceeded my already high expectations and lived up fully to it's reviews.
Review: Excellant bit of kit - My AIO died suddenly, no warning dead. After 2 years I should have expected it. Luckily I had an old Evo 212 in my spares box which got me up and running. I searched through desertcart and on-line to find an alternative to liquid cooling. I was never really comfortable having liquid in an electrical environment. Eventually I came across the Noctua NH-D15. Every review both on desertcart and on the web, Highly recommended it. Basically it's one of the best. Probably the best out there. OK it's big and you need a good sized case to fit it in. My Corsair 540 case had plenty of room. After reading the difficulties others had fitting it. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to install. I have low profile hyper x memory cards so the adjustment to clear them was minimal. High profile cards would profit changing the 140mm fan in the front to a 120mm fan. Air flow in my case is good. So it is fed from the front of the case by 2 140mm and out the back by another 140mm fan. Coupled by 2 overhead 140mm fans which remove any hot air pockets. I have to say the temps inside the case have reduced incredibly well. The CPU and Core temps are better than what I was achieving with an AIO which I had to have running at full belt when heavy gaming. With the Noctua NH-D15 I'm running cool and quiet and not going over 40 degrees. That was the big eye opener. Not to mention the reduced amount of power I am using when gaming. Which in the present environment of energy hikes from greedy companies is a good thing. My power consumption has been reduced by half. Which for parents out there, is a good thing. Keeping the kids happy and saving money on energy. The Noctua NH- D15 is a good all rounder. Giving excellent cooling, far superior to many AIO's out there. With energy saving to boot and half the price of AIO's. Air cooling is getting better and better which is a good thing for those like me on a budget and to be honest there isn't any sudden breakdowns apart from a fan failing. Which can be easily and cheaply rectified. All in all the Noctua NH-D15. Is an excellent product. From the moment you turn it on it is giving you the best cooling and energy savings out there.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A powerhouse that rivals AIO liquid cooling
*by C***S on 17 February 2024*

I bought this after attempts to replace my aging Corsair AIO fell through. Having previously bought a selection of Noctua case fans, I took the plunge back to trying fan coolers. I did not expect this beast to be the size it was, but after following the instructions and mounting it...what's that...silence. Not only silence, but also temperatures that rivals my old AIO liquid cooler. It is massive, it is quite heavy, but the mounting bracket it came with for AM5 was large and sturdy, and once firmly in place, it felt solid. With a drop of Artic MX-6, this had very decent idle temperatures, and using my Asus motherboards standard fan-sweep auto-set-up the fans run steady and quiet, if not un-noticeable . Manually setting speed for testing only really kicked in the fan sound at 80%, its very reasonable for a fan only cooler. Have tried it in two different cases, the Fractal Design R5 and the Pop XL Silent, and fits with space to spare in both. Now the downsides, which can be important, but easily avoidable. The size, that is it, only the size its its downfall. If you have a small case, this will not fit, no way, Its wide, its long, its deep. In my server, ASUS H170-PRO with socket LGA1151, I could not fit my test graphics card as well as the cooler (without fans installed), as the cooler extended up to the top PCIE slot. Its width as well blocked use of the second fan to the front of the case also due to the furthest left RAM sockets being used. The secondary fan can be installed on either left or right section of the cooler, however it depends on clearance also to any heatsinks near the I/O area of the board, and any external case fans. If you are getting this, I would highly recommend to look at your clearances on not only your case, but also your motherboard, for your PCIE 4.0 slot, and your RAM slot location. This shouldn't be as much of a problem on Full ATX boards than MATX, but still worth heading to the manufactures website to read on specs.
