The NH-D15S chromax.black is an all-black version of Noctua’s award-winning NH-D15S premium-quality quiet CPU cooler.

At the same time, the chromax.black version with its black fan and black coated heatsink combines these assets with a sleek stealth look. Topped off with the renowned SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua’s enthusiast-grade NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-D15S chromax.black is a premium choice for customers who seek a highly compatible dual-tower heatsink that looks just as great as it cools.

Award-winning NH-D15S coolerTens of thousands of enthusiast users all over the world swear by the NH-D15S’s quality and performance. Recommended by more than 150 international hardware websites and magazines, it is renowned for its unique blend of dual-tower performance and excellent compatibility. | Excellent RAM compatibilityThanks to its recessed lower fins, the NH-D15S provides 65mm clearance for RAM with tall heatspreaders or RGB illumination, making it compatible with most high-end modules on the market. As the lower fins are recessed on both sides of the heatsink, compatibility is excellent not only on LGA115x and AMD, but also on LGA20xx where there are RAM slots on both sides of the socket. | Asymmetrical layout for better PCIe compatibilityAs many current motherboards have the top PCIe x16 slot sitting close to the socket, bigger heatsinks tend to block it. Due to its asymmetrical layout, the fin-stack of the NH-D15S is off-set towards the upper edge of the motherboard when installed in standard orientation. This allows it to clear the top PCIe x16 slot on most current µATX and ATX motherboards.* *Please refer to our motherboard compatibility list for detailed information. | Colour-customisableUsing the optional NA-HC3 and NA-HC4 heatsink covers as well as the NA-SAVP3 anti-vibration pads (available in black, blue, green, red, yellow, white), the NH-D15S chromax.black can be fully customised to fit popular build colour schemes such as black and red or black and white. |

Ryzen 9 5900x – took my temps from constant 90+ to sub 50, very quiet and easy to install. 5 stars
This is a large cooler so I would check the dimensions of your motherboard and case before buying,.
However what a unit it is! great quality, good instructions, everything you need to install it on your cpu, brackets, thermal paste, screwdriver, fan connectors.
As my title says great quality product and it keeps my ryzen 7 5800x3d nice and cool as I play sim racing games that can push it.
Cools my 5800x3D, sub 70 degree temps under c20 cinebench 10 minute run. Can’t ask for more.
his cooler is perfect for cooling my ryzen 7 5800x keeping my temps very low and is so quiet you can barely hear it at all! it took me a while to mount it and set it up for the first time but now i have done it twice i found it a lot easier.
Sehr gro, tolle Leistung. Hlt meinen Ryzen 7 5800x3d schn khl 🙂
It keeps temps low and performs exceptionally well under load too.
This was the second one I bought. The first time was 2019 when it was cheaper to buy than now. No complaints with it’s performance.
Sin duda un gran disipador. He tenido antes refrigeracin lquida y este disipador enfra ms que la lquida que tena antes. Sin duda una gran adquisicin para mi PC, estoy muy contento con su rendimiento.
Bought after doing a lot of research and I am very happy with it. I just found it a bit tricky to install. Other than that it’s a great CPU fan.
A parte mais difcil da montagem foi a colocao da ventoinha.
Short and blunt of this.
It fits, everything I have. (Check Noctua’s website, click on the cooler you want and Services and check mobo and case compatability.)
It outperforms the 3 previous watercoolers I have had before.
It is so dam quiet.
Best cooler I have bought
So I have been using my pc for 10 years, my x79 has had 3 different 240mm radiators on it during this time.
I bought this cooler after getting fed up with maintenance of the water ones.
This cooler was 2c cooler happily keeping my 4930k@4ghz at 68-69c on load. Recently I switched it to a [email protected] and has been keeping it at a cool 46c on load. (Some head room here.)
Non ci sono parole per descrivere il livello di qualit di noctua. Dopo mesi di utilizzo non si sente nulla Grazie Noctua e Grazie Amazo
Acquistato per dissipare un i7 12700k. Pc per uso professionale programmazione ed analisi dati.
In fase di compilazione di progetti gravosi non ho mai superato il 60 gradi.
Temperatura media di esercizio si attesta fra i 28 e 35 gradi
Consigliatissimo
Questo dissipatore fantastico, anche con una singola ventola riesce a raffreddare magnificamente il processore!
It has dropped the temperature readings compared with the previous AMD Wraith Prism by around 5 degrees so I’m getting 25 degrees at idle and 60 under load with an AMD 5600x CPU on an MSI B550 Unify board. On the downside it was a pain to install and I would have been better removing the motherboard to do the job even in a roomy case with lots of space. As a matter of interest I chose not to add the thermal paste as shown in the instructions – a single blob – but taped around the four sides of the heatsink – like masking tape – and spread a very thin layer of paste i.e. the thickness of the tape, using a credit card. So yes I’d recommend it but beware of the size – it takes up a lot of space so check your dimensions carefully!
Acquistato per sostituire un dissipatore a liquido che mi ha abbandonato in poco tempo devo dire che il suo lavoro lo svolge perfettamente anzi meglio dell’ altro , molto silenzioso per quanto mi riguarda lo utilizzo su un ryzen 9 5900x e lo tiene a bada in maniera perfetta temperature in idle molto basse e stesso discorso per lunghe sessioni di lavoro e di gaming ottimo NOCTUA una garanzia
Bought for a 5800x3d ,max temp i have had while gaming is 72c.
Would have saved me a lot of time if I had removed the motherboard from the case before installing.
Very happy with the temps. Runs quiet while browsing etc.
