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
Ryzen 9 5900x – took my temps from constant 90+ to sub 50, very quiet and easy to install. 5 stars
Very well made and works
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.
Amazing coole
Cools my 5800x3D, sub 70 degree temps under c20 cinebench 10 minute run. Can’t ask for more.
little hard to install first time round but so quiet and perfect temperatures
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.
Toller Lüfter !
Sehr gro, tolle Leistung. Hlt meinen Ryzen 7 5800x3d schn khl 🙂
This Cooler Goes Hard ONG
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.

De lo mejor que he tenido
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.
Noctua 5*
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.
Montagem da ventoinha
A parte mais difcil da montagem foi a colocao da ventoinha.
Short and blunt + a bit more.
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.)
Top
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
Tiene a bada traquillamente carichi gravosi della CPU
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
Il gelo!
Questo dissipatore fantastico, anche con una singola ventola riesce a raffreddare magnificamente il processore!
Fiddly to install
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!
Ottimo
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
Good cooler for 5800x3d
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.
Perfetto
Montato su un Ryzen 9 5900X sotto sforzo le temperature sono passate da oltre 90 gradi a 75 gradi in media. Pienamente soddisfatto. Rumorosit accettabile ai massimi regimi delle ventole.
La Bestia
Lo mejor de lo mejor en refrigeracin por aire. Nivel de ruido bajo. Excelente construccin.
Supe
Un mostro!!! Xsilenziosissimo ma questa non una sorpresa… Riesce a tenere sotto controllo un 5900x senza problemi anche negli stress test mai sopra i 70 consigliatissimo per chi come me non si fida della durata nel tempo degli all-in one a liquido
Brought for my i5
Brought this for my i5 12600K and it works brilliantly.
I needed quite a decent cooler, as I was going to be using this computer for streaming, recording, gaming and editing.
It came with some thermal paste as well, which was a nice bonus.
It wasn’t easy to install though and it did take me a good while to finally get it sorted.
It is a bit noisy but not enough to actually hear it if you were recording your game.
It cools down my CPU brilliantly and I can really push my computer without worrying about overheating.
I would really recommend this
bon matos
installer sur un i9 faciliter de montage notice de montage trs bien expliquer pour les amateur comme moi je conseille ce ventirad
Noctua: una sicurezza
Questo il secondo dissipatore dello stesso modello che prendo, gi contento con il primo, ho deciso di installarlo anche su un mio altro computer, fiducioso della robustezza del prodotto nel tempo.
Se gi con due ventole overkill, anche solo con una al centro fa un egregio lavoro a raffreddare senza andare troppo forte con la velocit provocando maggiore rumore.
Eigentlich nur geholt, weil ne Wasserkhlung sehr laut war, selbst bei Normalbetrieb. Luftkhler geholt und das Ding ist selbst unter Last verhltnismig leise! PLUS: CPU bleibt khl wie das Herz meiner Ex! Was will man mehr?
Imponente
Il migliore dissipatore ad aria, con il giusto flusso d’aria nel case del PC, super silenzioso. Ho fatto delle prove che confermano che questo dissipatore equivalente ad un liquido da 240mm in prestazioni ma lo supera in silenziosit e tutto il resto, si sporca di meno di un radiatore ed eterno.
enorme, potente e silenzioso
utilizzato per build con ryzen 7 5800x non OC in un case grande e ben areato.
35c a basso carico (ventola a ~350 rpm), 55-65c gaming (ventola a ~1400).
la ventola anche a carico praticamente non si sente / trascurabile.
montaggio semplice, dissipatore non leggero, per cui la mb da maneggiare con cura se una prima installazione. verificate che ci sia spazio sufficiente di profondit per evitare che il dissipatore tocchi il pannello. montaggio della grande ventola tramite dei ganci, inclusi.
come inclusi anche ganci extra per una ventola in pi.
inclusa anche pasta premium noctua e un bel mini adesivo col logo 🙂
Dies ist nun mei 2. Cpu Khler von Noctua und ich bin sehr zufrieden. Sehr einfache Montage, zumindest fr mich. Die Verarbeitung der Khler ist sehr wertig und przise.
Aktuell wir bei mir ein Ryzen 9 5900x gekhlt . Lfter, der im Zubehr mit gelifert wurde, luft aktuell bei 850 rpm, bei einer Temperatur von ca. 40 Grad, im Idle und ist, fr mich nicht hrbar.
Bei voller Auslastung aller Kerne, im Test mit Cinebench R23 ist meine hchste Temperatur, ca. 81 Grad.
Der Lfter vom Khler dreht dan mit ca. 1100 rpm bei mir und ist leicht hrbar, was in Ordnung ist und ja auch sein muss. Der muss ja schliesslich auch etwas tun.
Preis/Leistungs Verhltnis ist fr mich absolut in Ordnung.
Ist halt Noctua und ich gebe eine volle Kaufempfehlung.
Semplicemente bello e prestazionale
In casa mia entrano solo i noctua come dissipatori ma questo mi ha lasciato stupito , dissipa un 5950x H24 7/7 mantenendo una temp di 60 gradi in estate .
Lo pulisco con un compressore elettrico piccolo apposito perch un po’ di polvere si deposita alla lunga e posso dire che silenziosit e qualit sono dentro a questo prodotto .
Complimenti noctua
Great cooling performance and compatibility
Paired this with an i7 7700k and it works really well, low idle temperatures and decently low temperatures under load too. It is pretty large but it still maintains good compatibility, as well as being upgradable to the regular DH15 if you add another NF-A15 fan.
El disipado
Un disipador en toda regla. Mantiene a raya las temperaturas de un 12600k con OC, baja 3 grados de media respecto al Dark Rock Pro 4 de Be quite! Que tiene dos ventiladores que tenia anteriormente. Muy contento con la compra!
Einfach klasse!
Ersetzt bei mir eine gnstige Wasserkhlung von Alphacool auf einem Ryzen 9 5950X.
Vorteile:
– flsterleise
– deutlich khler (30-65 Grad im Sommer, statt bis 80 mit der Wak)
– optisch ansprechend, super verarbeitet
– kein Problem mit Flssigkeitsverlust, kein nachfllen notwendig
Back to the roots ist manchmal doch besser und Noctua wissen einfach was sie tun.
Eccellente , costoso ma vale i soldi spesi
Avevo noctua u12s in configurazione push pull e funzionava bene con Ryzen 3800x ovvio in questo tempo caldo le temperature aumenta ma accettabile, dopo il upgrade della scheda video rtx 3080 che il backplate si scalda tantissimo ho notato che il processore aumenta di molto la temperatura nonostante che il case full tower mesh e ben ariato, ho deciso di comprare questo gioiellino e aggiunto una ventola 120mm e la scheda video a carico pieno non supera 63/64 gradi ma prima era 10 e 12 gradi in pi, per il processore la temperatura diminuita da 5 a 7 gradi rispetto prima,
Costa ma davvero vale tutti i soldi spesi.
One of the best coolers money can buy
Really great CPU cooler. My CPU doesn’t go over 45C when in after effects and stays under 50C when I’m pushing it hard gaming. Super easy to install, put it in the wrong way the first time and freaked out and thought it wouldn’t fit but ended up fitting great in my corsair case!
Would really recommend, Noctua is the bes
Great produc
The packaging of the box was all ripped by the time it got to me, so it would be a good idea to order this from a company that specialises on delivering tech products where you know that they will take better care of their products during delivery. Luckily the fan’s box is really sturdy so the box and the contents inside were fine by the time they got to me.
This fan is really quiet and keeps my PC cool at all times. Mine came with the LGA1700 bracket already in the box. One thing to note is that my thermal paste was completely dry when I tried to use it, luckily my CPU also came with some thermal paste and I was able to use it, but this is something to have in mind as it could happen to you too.
In general a great product and my only real complain is the way that Amazon handled my product during delivery.
Bie
Mon AIO sans marque commenait faire beaucoup de bruit de bulle d’air et surtout des tempratures suprieures 60c en idle !!!
J’ai donc dcid de le changer pour du air cooling rput…
Le montage n’est pas compliqu, mais demande un peu de patience et de minutie dans un boitier Corsair Mid tower… (pas beaucoup de place pour les doigts et les clips de ventilateur)
J’ai remplac le ventilateur d’origine par 2 Noctua REDUX 140mm Low speed (inaudible 1m 30% de PWM)
Maintenant en Burn, je suis moins de 70C et en silence car les ventilateurs commencent de monter en vitesse aprs 70C ! (rglage manuel) sur un XEON E5 – 2678 V3 (12C – 24 T – 2.5Ghz) et surtout il reste 2.9 Ghz sur tous les curs ! et Turbo 3.2 GHz sur 1 ou 2 curs !
DH-15S Ottima alternativa al liquido per case compatti
Ho sempre preferito i dissipatori ad aria a quelli a liquido (pi economici, meno manutenzione, pi duraturi) e i prodotti Noctua sono una garanzia.
Dopo aver controllato la compatibilit con il vostro case, la mobo (per lo spazio ram) e con la CPU (esiste addirittura un indicatore che vi fa vedere quale dissipatore pi adatto alla CPU) potrete scegliere il Noctua pi adatto.
Nel mio caso ero puntato su un NH-D15 ma fortunatamente ho controllato la guida sopracitata, perch per pochi millimetri di altezza avrebbe toccato il pannello di vetro del case; ho quindi ripiegato su un NH-D15S, la versione un pelo pi compatta e a una sola ventola (se ne pu aggiungere un’altra).
Complice un ottimo airflow il dissipatore comunque in grado di tenere a bada un 5900x con overclock daily e con pochissimo rumore; con temperature a inizio estate che vanno dai 40′ in idle sino ai 70′ in gaming.
Montaggio facilissimo ed esteticamente molto bello, per una frazione del costo di un dissipatore a liquido di pari livello.
Great Aircoole
Performance is on par with most basic/mid range AIO. Very efficient and doesn’t seat too close to the GPU. Despite using a single fan, it is all you need in most cases. Was cooling a 3900x and later a 12700k without any issues. Boosting as expected. Just make sure you use a good case with decent airflow to allow it to perform.
"Cool hand Luke"
Sono un neofita, uso il PC con applicazioni da ufficio e un po’ di applicazioni audio-video.
A Dicembre 2021 ne ho assemblato uno con questa configurazione:
case – Fractal Define R6
psu – SEASONIC PRIME GX-650 80+ Gold
mobo – msi MAG B550 Tomahawk
cpu – Rizen 7 5700G
ram – Crucial Ballistix BL2K8G36C16U4BL RGB 3600
ssd – Samsung 970Evo Plus 1 Tb NVMe
All’inizio avevo tenuto il dissipatore fornito insieme alla CPU che era sufficiente per la gran parte delle mie attivit.
Poi ho montato il Noctua (black, con una sola ventola)!
Trovo che sia un gran bell’oggetto sia dal punto di vista costruttivo che estetico, grosso, facile da montare. Molto silenzioso anche quando si sale oltre i 1000 giri.
Tutto quello che dicono le recensioni che ho letto o il materiale che ho trovato on line sono confermate anche dalla mia, scarsa, ma diretta esperienza di acquisto.
Ho provato a stressare il processore con l’utility cpu-z, allego un paio di foto:
una a riposo e una dopo 2 minuti di stress. Cessato il test, nel giro di circa 30 secondi si ritorna nelle condizioni iniziali.
Air cooling > Water cooling
Je possdais un AIO mont d’origine ( 1 ventilateur) sur une config MSI Infinite X qui malheureusement commenait montrer des signes de panne au bout d’un an (Surchauffe CPU, +90). J’ai longtemps hsit entre le changer avec un autre AIO plus performant ou bien passer sur air cooling. J’ai opt du coup pour le systme d’air cooling qui, d’aprs mes recherches, offre le mme refroidissement pour un prix moindre et une dure de vie plus longue. Mon I7 10700kf est pass de 75 in game 55. En sommes, le Noctua NH-D15S fait largement le job. En esprant que a pourra aider quelqu’un 😉
