> 3 dayThis heatsink is massive. Make sure it will fit your case and not interfere with RAM or other components. I did my homework and had no problems. The kit is comprehensive and includes all the hardware and instructions needed for various types of CPUs. It even includes thermal paste. This is the heart of my near-silent built (using a Fractal Design R5 case) and I am so happy with the results. There is so much metal that the fans can run really slow and I still get CPU temps under 40C.

Greater than one weekLet me just say that this is one of my best purchases, ever. Ive had this for more than a month now and Im loving it. If youre a silence freak like me and youre looking for a very quiet cooler without lacking in performance, youve come to the right place.

> 3 daytiene a bada un 9900k anche in oc a 5ghz ma per alcuni software che spremono la cpu i valori di temperatura arrivano a 92° che cmq non è termal trottheling... ho provato i sistemi a liquido, deep cool da 360, arctic da 360, enermax ma alla fine solo lui ha garantito il funzionamento in oc con punte di tdp di 205 w. poi per come è fatto tiene molto basse anche le temperature dei VRMMOS che per alcune schede madri di media fascia sono aspetti molto critici. Lo utilizza da due mesi e è stato spremuto per bene.....

> 3 dayI used the wraith prism on my Ryzen 3900X for a couple of weeks, it was too warm (around 85c at load) and very noisy. My Cinebench R20 scores were around 6800. Now with NH-D15 my CPU idles at 28-30c and goes up to 65c at load, 70c on AutoOC. That increased Cinebench R20 scores to 7250 on default settings, and 7400 on AutoOC. Also, Its so quiet.

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. |
