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. |

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.
Lo mejor de lo mejor en refrigeracin por aire. Nivel de ruido bajo. Excelente construccin.
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 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
installer sur un i9 faciliter de montage notice de montage trs bien expliquer pour les amateur comme moi je conseille ce ventirad
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.
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.
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 🙂
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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 !
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.
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.
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.
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 😉
First impressions (yet to assemble and test it with i9-12900k and Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Master)
Likes:
Packing and boxing
Instructions to install
Looks and finish
Observations:
1.two inner most RAM slots gets covered by the cooler (this could block the RGB of RAMs when looked directly perpendicular to the cooler but the side view – we can see all four RAMs and RGB as well unless we use additional fan)
2. The m.2 slot connecting the cpu is easily accessible even on the over kill Aorus master board
Could have been better:
Pricing could be a bit less (25 euros more than the aluminum fin and brown colored one)
I shall update the post after I install and test the performance (but, I am sure it’s the best in the category).
It’s a monster! I love it! not much room left in my case! Disperes heat well, works well with other pc fans!
This thing is much larger than I thought.. so glad it fit in my case! It was extremely easy to install and does a great job of cooling the CPU (AMD Ryzen 7 5800x) and it looks great with the additional white cover plates (available separately for.. well.. more than I told the gf)
Original review rejected as I included an URL to the Noctua website where you can check compatibility.
Anyway the essence is that for an i5-12600k, Asus ROG Strix z690 Gaming Wifi D4 & Fractal Design 7 Compact case it works better than an AIO although when I add a graphics card later there might be issues.
Installation of the backplate was challenging with the motherboard in situ. This is an issue common to my motherboard/case combination so isn’t Noctuas fault.
I added a 120mm fan using the included clips (actually I thought the original fan wasn’t working so this was a stopgap that I retained). This allows me to run the fans at a lower rpm/noise.
Temperatures are 15-20c better than the 240mm AIO I previously had installed. And it’s so much quieter too. I just leave the fan on static 30% and it’s still giving amazing performance.
I took an Amazon Prime trial and got it delivered just 15 hours after ordering.
Cercavo un sistema ad alte prestazioni per ridurre al minimo la rumorosit, un impiato a liquido di pari resa sarebbe pi rumoroso, montato su un ryzen 7 3700x, lasciato in oc automatico ho temperature massime di 60 gradi con la ventola quasi al minimo in piena estate(ho usato intel burn test) quindi massima efficenza con la pi bassa rumorosit possibile… Assicuratevi di avere spazio nel case, ha dimensioni importanti
Have had numerous AIOs over the years, most recently an H100i RGB Pro, which I just bought an H115i Elite Capellex to replace. The Capellex was the worst thing I’ve ever bought from Corsair.. With them now using Coolit pumps as opposed to the old Asetek pumps, the thing was loud as hell with a super annoying high-pitched whine even on its silent setting (due to the pumps being limited to a lowest RPM of 2200 odd!) Had it for 24 hours and simply had to get rid of it, it was unbearable. I fancied a change from Corsair, and seeing as my PC is used mostly for trading, silence, or as close to it as possible, is top of my list. I do game as well though, so need a decent cooler. I’ve always actually quite liked the “industrial” look of the NH-D15, and having heard how good they are in terms of noise, I decided to give it a go. I knew (or so I thought!) I would have to sacrifice temps to some degree, but was willing to do so in the pursuit of silence. Arrived today, the Capellix came out, and WOW! Firstly, the thing is amazing… The quality of the product is very, very evident from the get-go. And with the heatsink covers on (in black), it looks incredible. Once it was all installed, I couldn’t believe it when I fired up my PC to see idle temps 7/8 degrees lower than the H100, and even 3-5 degrees lower than the Capellix! And that’s with it running absolutely silently! I’m honestly amazed. I’ve run a few stress tests to warm it up, as well as racing in my SIM in VR, and playing some FPS games, and still, the max temp it reached throughout 3 hours of this was 59 degrees. It idles between 23 (yes 23!) degrees and 27 degrees, with my sensors showing an average of 28 degrees even after all the tests and gaming, running an i5 11600K CPU, which are known to be pretty toasty. And all whilst being so damn quiet. I have ordered another fan to have it look and perform the same as the D15 (I had to get the S as the D15 will not fit my MicroATX motherboard), but I think I will just send that back given the temps / noise of this as is with just the one fan. One word of note: I have a B560M Aorus Pro mobo, in a Corsair 4000D case, and there is NOT room to have any exhaust fans above. But clearly, the airflow is fine and am not missing them. With my all black, non-rgb build with a 3070ti, all together, ESPECIALLY now with this cooler, with those classy heatsink covers on, it just looks the absolute nuts. Blown away and over the moon with it!
The Noctua NH-D15S chromax black, Is a very easy CPU Cooler to Install, and comes with excellent Noctua Thermal Paste. It is compatible with LGA 1700 Motherboards, and is a breeze to install.
This CPU Cooler is Huge, but I was able to install it both Vertically (Air pushed out top of case) and Horizontally (Air pushed out back of case) on my ASUS Prime Z690-P WiFi D4.
Even at 100% Fan load, This CPU Cooler is not loud, unlike every AIO Water Cooler I have ever used. It keeps my temps on par with my Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240, and offers better temps than my old Corsair Hydro Series H100i, without the horrible noise and Pump Whine from the aforementioned AIO Water Coolers.
I own quite a few CPU Air Coolers, from Cooler Master, Zalman, be quiet!….. and the The Noctua NH-D15S chromax black is the daddy of them all.
It keeps my Intel Core i7-12700K (12 Core CPU) below 75C in hour long Stress Tests. I also use three Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700, as exhaust fans on my case.
The noise from the included fan, never gets annoying, even at full Load!
I installed a second Fan on the Cooler, as It comes with an extra Brackets for a second fan, but the temperatures stayed around the same (One Celsius reduction) on stress tests, so I removed it.
A word of warning. Install your RAM before you install The Noctua NH-D15S, as large Ram Heat sinks can be difficult to install, after you install the CPU Cooler.
Anyway, this is the best CPU Cooler I have ever owned, and It is cheaper than most AIO Water Coolers, performs about the same, but with much much less noise. There is also no danger of a water pump malfunctioning, which has happened to me in the past.
The Noctua NH-D15S has one Fan, which makes compatibility far better for Ram, than the dual fan Noctua NH-D15, and temperatures are about the same.
Easy to install, dropped cpu temps by a crazy amou
Ottimo dissipatore ,molto silenzioso .tiene il mio i 5 12600k fresco senza problemi.posso solamente consigliarlo,all’interno della confezione c’ gia’ tutto quello che serve, anche per i nuovi processori intel LGA 1700.il montaggio stato semplice grazie alle isrtruzioni chiare e dettagliate.
First of all, the product is large but it fits in small cases like macube 110 by deepcool 🙂
At first I was a little sceptical about buying it because I was afraid that it wont fit and the lit wont close. However, 4 sticks of corsair vengeance rgb edition ram fits perfectly and there is enough clearance to even remove or swap rams even with the cooler installed.
I havent checked the temperature of the cpu ( 5600x) but I believe that it runs cooler than before. Most importantly it runs quietly and without any squeaking sounds. Previously I had “hyper 212 black” which was decent but I needed to add more ram and it wasn’t possible.
Noctua coolers are incredible I don’t regret swapping out my old cooler. 10/10
Fit perfectly in my NZXT H510i Case. Near silent even at heavy loads and looks BIG!
La rputation des ventirads Noctua n’est plus faire. Le montage est ais et le descriptif de la notice est exemplaire. Quant au refroidissement il est trs performant sur le Core I9, mme en full charge.
Was will man zum NH-D15S sagen? Ist berall bekannt als High End-Khler. Die S Version ist leicht asymmetrisch, dadurch kann man auch hhere RAM-Kits im Gegensatz zum normalen NH-D15 verbauen.
Dazu kommt noch das die Chromax Version richtig optisch gut aussieht und was her macht. Leise und Leistungsstark mit top Verarbeitung ist er auerdem!
Bisher hatte ich von Noctua immer Abstand genommen, aber allein wegen des Designs (diese beige/braunen Lfter finde ich einfach nicht schn).
Nun stand ich vor dem Problem einen i9-11900k ordentlich zu khlen, und auf meinem MB (Asus ROG STRIX Z590-E GAMING) 4 RAM Bausteine zu haben. Nachdem dieser Lfter nun auch in schwarz zu haben war habe ich zugegriffen. Der Einbau war wirklich kinderleicht, dank der Aussparung auf der rechten Seite keinerlei Probleme mit dem RAM und die Temperatur liegt im Idle im Schnitt bei 40 Grad. Beim Zocken so um die 60-70 Grad. Kann man nicht meckern! Einzig den Preis empfinde ich als ein wenig berteuert, und die Lautstrke unter Volllast knnte etwas niedriger sein. Aber jammern auf hohem Niveau!
Ive been a Noctua fan for many years.
When I switched over to a Ryzen build they even supplied me an AM4 mounting kit for my cooler free of charge to reuse my old cooler. Top class company this.
So, after I upgraded to a 5800x the cpu is a little power station and has some temperature issues which is fine. I decided to buy this cooler as I was overdue an upgrade anyway.
Comes very well packaged and with clear instructions. Included also is their world class thermal paste and brackets for additional fans.
I chose this one as all four ram slots are full on my board and it gives maximum compatibility.
Fitting could not have been easier. IN fact only way it could be easier was if I was fitting as part of the pc build. For AM4 theres is a back plate, 4 stands off and the brackets which you assemble. The cooler then screws onto the bracket and you add the fan. Simple simple simple.
Performance is phenominal. my 5800x idles around 30c but it is in the attic, warmest room in the house even with the heating off. Max temp I have seen it reach gaming is 72c. Thats with PBO on etc
With some voltage tweaking or offset temps would probably drop even lower, especially at load. Absolutely love this. And being only 160mm tall it fits my case with ease.
Very useful for my R9 5950X, can be a bit tough to install, good to watch a video before.
The pump in my Coolermaster Masterliquid Lite 240 started making loud noises after just 6 months. Decided to go air since I really do not want to deal with AIO failures again. Got this installed and wow.
Less noise, lower temp (by about 6C at full load) and fewer parts that can fail. I know that Masterliquid 240L is not the best AIO and there are better ones out there, but seeing how well this performs, I really don’t see the point to go AIO for most people. Don’t buy into the water cooling hype when air coolers like this one works just fine and may even perform better.
It came with the retention brackets for the second fan, so I just slapped the 120mm fan from the 240L onto it. This pretty much makes it NH-D15 and gives more headroom for RAM than the 140mm fan in NH-D15.
Fiddly to install with the motherboard still in the case. The heat sink goes in fine and the connections are great. However, with the mobo in the case, attaching the fan properly, clipping it firmly to the heat sink and attaching the CPU fan header is difficult. The UH12s is much simpler with this final step.
However, the size of this thing and the cooling capacity means I can radically reduce fan curves for my case fans. So for much lower case flow (and noise) I get better performance. If I kept the fans the same, this would be significantly cooler.
This thing is a beast. It’s big sure, but if your machine is under a desk, you’ll never see it, and more importantly, you’ll barely even hear it. Even at full speed this thing is quiet, and a whole lot quieter than your GPU fans will be.
It has a sensible, easy to use mounting system, and includes a long screwdriver to reach the retention screws. It also includes extra fan mounting springs, a fan splitter, and a low noise adapter. Includes noctua thermal paste enough for 2 or 3 applications.
It outperforms most AIO systems, including the 280mm nzxt x73 I had before this. And it does it whisper quiet. Having it as the chromax variant means it’s not all brown and shiny behind your window case.
My only minor gripe is that attaching the fans to the heatsink is fiddly in smaller cases due to clearances. Also if you plan on fitting a 2nd fan to it, forget RGB ram. With a single center mounted fan it has clearance for even the tallest or ram, but adding a 2nd fan over the ram slots will foul. Though I never bothered. Would buy again.
Nach nun lngerer Nutzung bin ich mit dem Khler sehr zufrieden.
Geliefert wird der Khler in einer aufgerumten Verpackung in der kein Platz verschwendet wird.
Das Zubehr ist durchaus angemessen und von hoher Qualitt.
Khlkrper, Lfter, Kabel, alle Metallteile (auch Schrauben, Federn, Backplate) sind hochwertig beschichtet.
Beim auspacken und beim Einbau habe ich handschuhe getragen, um Fettfinger und kleine Kratzer zu vermeiden, das war auf jeden Fall hilfreich.
Leise ist das ganze auch, war aber klar.
Khlleistung ist auch in meinem kleinen Gehuse durchaus gut, Der Khler nimmt aber sehr viel Platz ein.
Insgesamt bin ich zufrieden, auch wenn der Preis fr ein solches Produkt (wie auch bei der Konkurrenz) ziemlich hoch ist.
Bueno , despues de varios dias despues de montarlo y probarlo a max rendimiento , puedo decir que evidentemente no da las mismas temperaturas que mi anterior refrigeracion una corsair H115i pero bueno tb decir que el mantenimiento es minimo…. con limpiar ventiladores sobra… mi anterior refrigeracion duro 3 aos hasta que la bomba dejo de funcionar, mantiene unas temperaturas de unos 65grados a plena carga jugando a juegos a maximo rendimiento, muy silencioso, facil de montar , la unica pega que le pondria es que es demasiado grande, me ha tocado sacrificar un modulo de ram porque no podia montarlo, debes disponer de una caja bastante grande o no te entrara, por lo demas todo perfecto, recomiendo su compra.
Prodotto bello, silenzioso e di grande qualit. Ho montato una seconda ventola da 120 per avere migliori prestazioni, montare una 140, come quella in dotazione, sarebbe stato impossibile per problemi di spazio case/ram. Sicuramente da preferire, a mio giudizio, al modello simmetrico con due ventole da 140 se si vuole maggior flessibilit con prestazioni leggermente inferiori. La ventola da 120 montata la NF-F12 pwm, ho utilizzato le graffette in dotazione, e collegata al connettore CPU OPT della MB. In questi casi serve una ventola con una buona pressione, a scapito della portata d’aria. NOCTUA n. 1
It’s a big lad super quiet and keeps ryzen 9 3900x below 60oc when gaming
Well packaged and easy to install. Supplied with thermal paste.
This is a monster of a cooler, easy to install and looks great. Every component is artfully designed and manufactured. Cooling performance is great. This is by far the best air cooler I’ve ever purchased. Just be sure you have room in your case.
Awesome just awesome. You need a lot of room in the case so check it will fi
Absolutely insane air cooler. Super easy to install, packaging was easy to understand, and had tools and parts to help you install, the noise of the cooler is minimal even when the fans are at 100%. Faultless, really excellent and cheaper than AIOs which perform the same.
I’ve got the cooler in my pc with the low fan adapter on my 5800X and cools the cpu fine no problems used mx5 thermal paste and on idle it had 35 and on full 70 and on prime 95 it got 85 what is good
It’s an amazing cooler, I’m using it with a ryzen 9 3950X cpu and the fan is so silent. Great work keeping the temperatures at a decent level.
No seriously. It’s insane. Look how big this thing is. And this is the S version.
It’s whisper quiet. It’s easy to install. I’d read the hype around Noctua but after actually seeing and using it, I believe it. Low-use temps sit around 37-40 with a 3700x.
The only caveat I can think of is its size, you’ll need a decent sized mid-tower (I have a P400A). It also makes installing the 8-PIN into your motherboard for your CPU a nightmare, but hey ho.
Die Qualitt der Noctua Lfter ist ja hinlnglich bekannt. Leider gibt es aber insbesondere bei den Tower-lftern immer wieder Probleme mit der Kompatibilitt zu RAM-Modulen oder zum Mainboard. Bei dieser Version besteht die Gefahr meiner Meinung nach nicht. Der Lfter ist asymmetrisch konstruiert und hat jede Menge Platz im Bereich der Speicher-Module. Es lassen sich also hierbei tatschlich alle Speicher-Bnke bestcken und das auch mit Modulen die sehr hoch sind. “Erkauft” wird dieser Vorteil dadurch, dass hier nur ein Lfter verbaut wird. Wer also einen leistungshungrigen Prozessor verbaut und den auch noch maximal bertakten will, gleichzeitig aber auch hohe RAM-Module verwendet, der sollte sich besser bei nach einer leistungsfhigen Wasserkhlung umsehen. Wer aber in seinem Gehuse bereits einen guten Airflow hat und einen wirklich leisen Prozessor-Lfter sucht (bei mir im Einsatz mit einem Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G), dem kann ich diesen Lfter wirklich empfehlen.
Superb cooler with a very easy mounting method for such a large cooler.
seems to be ok, keeps the i9 cool enough, mind you i almost broke my memory when fitting it as one side of the heatsink is slightly higher than the other and i didnt realise as im half blind and then i heard a click…. that was a brown bum moment but thankfully all ok
This cooler looks very sleek in an all-black case. The system is much quieter compared to my previous AIO. My current CPU is the 5800x, and at idle, the temps are in the mid 30C range, which is reasonable as this gen of CPU idles quite hot. Ensure to check the clearance in your case before purchase, as some cases would be too slim to implement this. This warning also goes for the height of the RAM you are looking to install, as tall RAM can be problematic with this cooler.
Die Khlleistung ist hervorragend und als Luftkhler ist der NH-D15S sowohl risikormer als auch langlebiger als eine AIO-Wasserkhlung bei gleicher oder besserer Khlleistung und geringerem Geruschpegen (Pumpe alleine > NH-D15S). Don’t go AIO…
Is big and can accomodate high Memory modules. Be aware that it is quite tall and will not fit smaller cases.
You, like me, have probably seen nothing but praise for Noctua coolers, this one especially. With this in mind, I had high expectations for this cooler and still they have been exceeded. This is a phenomenal piece of kit.
The installation is unbelievably easy. I enjoy PC building, but I can’t say I’m particularly good at it. My big clumsy hands are always dropping screws, gunking thermal paste etc. After struggling to install the Evo and Wraith Spire in the past, I was ready for another tough install. I was pleasantly surprised to.be wrong! This was very straightforward – the instructions are very clear and the mounting process is genius. I don’t understand why every cooler can’t be this simple.
Performance is excellent. My 5600x has gone from 90-95c under load to 60-65c.
There is a lot more I could say, but I’ll keep it simple – if you’re struggling with high temps, buy this cooler. It’s a little pricier, but it’s absolutely worth every penny.
Noctua si conferma una garanzia assoluta in ambito di dissipatori ad aria e ventole di raffreddamento e, con la serie cromax.Black, finalmente strizza l’occhio anche a chi alla ricerca di una resa estetica pi curata. Il dissipatore imponente, ma la struttura asimmetrica e l’intelligente geometria delle alettature alla base consentono un montaggio agevole quasi in ogni case, anche in presenza di moduli di memoria di grandi dimensioni. La ventola, con cpu anche energivore come i nuovi i7 e i9 serie k di undicesima generazione, in condizioni di carico di lavoro basso e moderato pressoch inudibile e si fa sentire solo ai carichi pi alti, senza per mai diventare fastidiosa.
l’attacco estremamente comodo e, con una placca di ancoraggio per piattaforma 115x 12xx tra le pi solide che abbia mai visto. viene fornito con i supporti di ancoraggio per una eventuale ventola secondaria da 12 o 14 cm per raggiungere la massima efficenza possibile, ma gi la 14cm fornita fa benissimo il suo dovere.
Per raggiungere la massima resa estetica consiglio di acquistare le carenature magnetiche opzionali Noctua NA-HC3 chromax.black.swap (presenti in foto).
Well packaged and supplied with very good accessories.
Instructions were well laid out and described.
Performance, oh my! It has reduced my peak temperatures by 25C. This allowed me to overclock my i7-4770K to over 4GHz on all cores from 3.5GHz in Prime95. Max temperature peaks at 68C on all threads at 100% load. The supplied fan settles at 1300rpm under this setup.
This really is the best air cooler you can get. If your case can fit it, just get this.
For information, I installed this in an Antec P180. I am never retiring this case lol.
I bought the NH-D15s chomax as an after market air cooler. It is mounted on a Cooler Master H500(blank) case. Installed on a AM4 platform to cool a 5600x. Instruction are on the box and from a newbie i can say that it is easy to install. My cpu temperature went down by 12 degrees when gaming. There is an option to add an additional front fan on front heatsink but because i have 2 200mm fan intake i did not add any. Not only it lowered my cpu temp by 12 degrees it is also quiet. Ram and pcie slot has alot of space to breath. Highly recommended for its cooling power and quietness.
Very happy with this product keeps my Ryzen 3600 XT nice and cool topping at 52+/- under load which is great! Also would like to stress just how much room there rly is for ram, I use Vengeance pro RGB (very tall) and there’s still room to spare. Highly recommend
Performance, sound levels and looks are excellent, the only “con” is that it’s slightly annoying to put the fan on in certain cases like mine due to lack of space, overall a great produc
I went back to air cooling after being disappointed in some aio CPU cooling solutions. This is a fair chunk of metal and might not have the fancy looks of an aio pump header that shows graphics, temps and cpu usage through my glass window case but I am much happier with the silence and overall performance. It`s Noctua – say no more really.
I bust my 5 year old EK water block trying to fix a squeaky fan. Stumbled across a BLACK Noctua – WHAT – where has that “nice” two tone brown gone. Decided on this computer to go back to air. No room to run the full D15 over RAM so tried this.
So far very happy. It shifts a lot of air. It is very quite and it looks great in my black rig. When silicon gets back to the market, and I build the next PC. I might buck the trend and stay with this. It really is good. The build quality of the fan and the fitting is excellent. Even the box it comes in is a work of art. This screams quality….
… and it keeps everything very cool.. and very quiet.
Probably the best air cooler on the market, looks great in black. The mounting mechanism is really easy and makes it super easy to setup.
Had a Corsair H100 water system which has gradually become blocked, not surprisingly as it was 7 years old.
Could have dismantled it and cleared the blockage but wasn’t too happy with the fan noise as it would spin up like a jet engine and remain close that level of noise even when idling. Thats when I researched and came across this heatpipe cooler. Fitting was fairly straightforward just make sure its compatable with your motherboard socket and that you have the space for the cooler without interfering with RAM or other motherboard slots. Anyway the cooler fired up and the noise at idle was so quiet I thought maybe the fan was not running, it turns out this unit will run the fan at start up at around 500rpm and beware your pc depending on its BIOS might think the fan is faulty because of the low rpm at start up, so go into the BIOS and tell it that its okay to have the fan at that range on start up. At present cant complain, CPU runs cool about 38 def idle and max 45 to 50 on rendering and the fan noise still very low. Well worth the purchase and would recommend.
Ordered this as my little Ryzen 7 2700 non x seems to struggle maintaining high overclocks on the stock AMD cooler, upon opening the box I was pleasantly surprised at how professional the packaging was. The mounting for AM4 boards requires use of the existing back plate for the stock cooler. Getting the cooler mounted was somewhat difficult in my microatx case but it did fit. Before I couldn’t run over 3.5ghz due to thermals now I can run 4.1ghz all core and it barely goes over 60C. Comes with extra spring clips to attach another fan, I moved the lower front case fan onto the front of the cpu cooler for additional cooling. Recommended it to my mate who’s AIO died on him and he was well impressed also on his R7 1800x
A nicely made piece of equipment, added extra fan and cools my pc perfectly.
I have this over a 5900X, replacing a Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 which has moved to another machine. Very similar performance in my setup, but if anything the Noctua runs slightly cooler and quieter, even with only the one fan – impressive. Because it’s smaller, the NH-D15S gives you much more choice of 4 stick DRAM kits which is a big advantage with Ryzen CPUs especially since they can be very difficult with the wrong RAM. The deal-breaker for me with Noctua coolers for many years was that they only came in ghastly brown, but now you can get them in good-looking black too I could see myself staying with them in the future.
This was bought to replace the stock cooler that came with the machine.
The heatsink looks very big out of the box and I did have a few doubts if it would fit inside my case (Cooler Master Masterbox MB530P). There was nothing to worry about however.
Fitting was extremely easy, even for a bigger unit, as this is.
The kit comes with Noctua thermal paste and a kit for either Intel or AMD, together with dedicated instructions for each socket. You also get a low noise adapter cable, which I didn’t use, as well as a spare set of fan clips, in case you wish to add a second fan later on. You also get a handy screwdriver, so pretty much everything you need comes in the box.
The kit came extremely well packaged and protected. It is very sturdy in construction. The heat plate is extremely well finished and machined, and is protected by a plastic cover.
The only extra purchase I needed was a box of surgical swabs to clean the cpu up after removing the old cooler.
Using the Intel kit and provided thermal paste I had no problem at all in installing this. (This was my first heatsink/cooler install.) It really was painlessly easy.
The fan needs to be removed to install the cooler. There was plenty of clearance to reattach the fan afterwards, I didn’t even have to remove the GPU.
Top tip: If you have larger fingers, or space is at a premium, fashion a hook out of a large paperclip. This is what I did and it worked a treat in hooking the fan clip on at the top side of the case.
The fan cable is plenty long enough to reach your CPU fan header on the motherboard, and is a standard PWM 4 pin. I found it best to plug this in before fixing the heatsink to the CPU.
The whole process was done in 30 minutes, and I was taking my time being cautious.
There is plenty of clearance on all sides and enough space to not obstruct RAM modules, or access to PCIE clips.
It looks great and performs really very well on my i7-9700k. The temperatures shown are on Minecraft after about 2 hours. On other games such as Immortals Fenyx Rising, Fortnite and AC Valhalla they are between 55 and 65C.
The fan is extremely quiet.
Thoroughly recommended if you want to go for an air cooled option and don’t want to worry about water leaks.
Please see the pictures for reference.
Ayant renvoyer un Water cooling Ryujin 360 de chez Asus rog a pres de 300 balle car le produit ne tenai pas du tous ces promesse je me suis tourner vers un ventirad pour refroidir un gros 5900x.
Dj produit reu en avance, bien jou, emballage propre et qualitatif tout de carton recycler pais et solide pas de fioriture j’apprcie fortement.
je passe l’installation ultra simple mais dirais jute que le tournevis (et 3.5g de pate thermique) fournit m’as carrment sauv la mise car je n’en avais pas d’assez long chez moi car dissipateur super haut il y a mme une accroche fournit en plus au cas ou si vous choisissez de prendre un ventilateur supplmentaire, ce qui tait mon cas.
A l’utilisation le ventirad est compltement dingue, les temprature atteinte sont plus basse en moyenne de 4 (29 en idle avec les ventilo 25%)qu’avec l’AIO prcdemment cit (33 en idle avec les 3 ventilos 30%) et ce dans toutes les situations tests et ce dans un silence fort apprciable
Je crois pas qu’il y est quoi que ce soit d’autre dire.
Merci Noctua vos produits sont merveilleux
I’ll keep it simple I have a 3900xt overclocking to 4.5ghz at idle 39c to 44c and under full load converting, 6 videos to 1080p 23 min videos at the same time ,86c and never went past 88c.
Two fans on tower set to 45 to 75 percentage
In daily tasked , video editing or gaming never goes past 68c
This is in a full tower a cooler master p500
For some reason it took me ages to consider changing it, and now I’m so annoyed I didn’t just do it the moment I got the PC. This cooler is epic. Little more than a very faint hum whereas before it sounded like someone was trying to drill through the wall.
I’ve been using NZXT Cam to monitor temps the past few days and in general desktop use I’ve never seen the CPU go over 32C. I’ve also been reliving my 20s playing Half Life 2 and it’s never caused anything over 45C. Looking forward to properly challenging it with Alyx soon.
Depending on your case it could be an easy install or a hassle as you need to put the bracket on the back of the motherboard – my case has a cutout to allow access so the complete remove and install took under 10 minutes. The fact that it is offset means it doesn’t foul PCIe or RAM slots which is amazing. It is also massive so you need to check your case dimensions – my case is big and it’s a tight fit and required practically dislocating my wrist to clip the fan back on at the top edge.
In summary: Just buy it. It’s amazing.
Der Khler funktioniert ohne Probleme und passt im Gegensatz zum D15 Standard auch aufs Board d.h. ragt nicht ber die PCI Schnittstelle hinaus. Warum er nur mit einem Lfter geliefert wird, erschliet sich mir nicht so ganz, ich habe noch einen zweiten Lfter installiert, was ohne Probleme mglich war. Die Installation war im Kontext okay, ein bisschen Friemelei ist der Einbau ja immer, hier aber vergleichsweise gut gelst, zumindest denke ich nicht schon jetzt mit Grausen an den Tausch der Wrmeleitpaste nchstes Jahr.
Die Khlleistung ist meines Erachtens sehr gut, mein 3950x bleibt damit bei Vollast ohne bertaktung unter 75 Grad Celsius, im Idle ca. bei 35-45. Die Lfter hrt man zwar, sind aber nicht strend, besser machen es andere Hersteller auch nicht.
Wer also keine Wasserkhlung mchte und einen guten Khler mit Reserven mchte, ist hier sicher gut beraten, vor allem, da es jetzt eine Alternative zu dem gewhnungsbedrftigen braun gibt.
Zu erwhnen ist vielleicht noch, dass der Lamellenblock sehr gro ist und da asymmetrisch angeordnet weit nach oben steht. Ich habe ein Dark Base 700 und musste den eingebauten Deckenlfter entfernen, da es sonst nicht gepasst htte. Also vorher ber den Airflow Gedanken machen.
Preislich ist das Ding vergleichsweise teuer, besonders wer einen zweiten Lfter mchte, ich habe mich hier allerdings an den Erfahrungsberichten und Tests zur Leistung und Qualitt orientiert, da mir dies wichtiger war, als 20 Euro an falscher Stelle zu sparen.
Amazing performance and easy to mount, paired with ryzen 9 3900x and a 2080 super and I have not seen my CPU pass 70c in all sorts of games (normally max settings 1440p) and the offset allows much easier ram access, compared to standard NH-D15, just make sure you have the clearance in your case as it is very tall. And it has the option to add an additional fan for even lower temps!
Expensive but the best air cooler you can get, came from a Corsair AIO and temperatures now are 20 degrees lower after upgrading to the Dh-15S.
Super achat trs facile monter, la pte thermique qui est livre avec est de super quali
Great aesthetics, really good performance and easy to mount.
One point worth noting is the fan needs to be removed to install, when reinstalling make sure it points the correct way (airflow indicators can be misread) according to your case otherwise it will run about 15c hotter!
Hatte vorher eine billige Wasserkhlung (AIO). Die konnte meine CPU unter last nur auf ca. 80 Grad khlen. Mit dem Noctua bin ich jetzt auf ca. 60 Grad. Das ist sehr beeindruckend, da die CPU auf ca. 5 Ghz luft und ich eine GPU 3080 verbaut habe. Den Preis fr die khlung finde ich absolut angemessen. Auerdem hatte ich immer Angst das die Wasserkhlung undicht wird. Die Montage ist sehr einfach. Der ganze Khler wird mit nur 2 Schrauben an der mitgelieferten backplate befestigt. Die Verarbeitung ist auch absolut klasse.
This was a massive upgrade, my temp dropped 20 degrees with this cooler. I’m really impressed.
Oltre alle indubbie qualit prestazionali ci sono per anche quella costruttiva e progettuale secondo me superiore a qualsiasi competitor, con una cura nel packaging ma anche ovviamente nell’assemblaggio del prodotto in se e nella scelta dei materiali incredibili, che rendono il sistema di dissipazione ad aria austriaco a mio parere preferibile alle offerte della concorrenza. Diciamo che a temperature siamo l, ma per prezzi in fin dei conti molto simili Noctua offre quella solidit aziendale e garanzia di qualit ma anche supporto dopo l’acquisto (se registrate il prodotto sul loro sito potrete fare gratuitamente richiesta di sistemi di montaggio compatibili con socket rilasciati dopo l’acquisto) che la rende tutto sommato superiore. E forse dieci euro in pi sono tanti ma non ho potuto resistere alla versione nera che devo dire fa davvero un figurone anche in case non incredibili come il mio. Promosso a pieni voti.
Great fan. Juuuust fits in my case (would definitely make sure you 100% have case clearance). Temperatures are low and come down as expected once heavy load is taken off the CPU
Comme toujours avec Noctua facile a monter grce au SecuFirm2 et des tempratures parfaitement sous contrle le tout dans le silence !
Zustzlich sollte der Khler zu meinem Black & White Gehuse von Corsair passen und gengend Platz fr RGB Ram Riegel besitzen. Der verbaute RAM Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro hat immerhin eine stolze Hhe von 5,08cm. (exkl. Spielraum)
Bercksichtigt man all diese Anforderungen, so wird die Auswahl an passenden Khlern schnell auf weniger als eine Handvoll geeigneter Kandidaten eingeschrnkt.
Zuerst war ich auf der Suche nach einer AiO Wasserkhlung mit 240mm oder 280mm. Nach langer Recherche im Internet und Begutachtung von zahlreichen Testberichten habe ich mich jedoch fr den Noctua Khler entschieden. Der Grund dafr ist, dass ein guter CPU Luftkhler wie der NH-D15S ohne Probleme mit vielen der am Markt erhltlichen AiO Wasserkhlungen mithalten kann. Negative Aspekte wie eine defekte Pumpe oder Wasseraustritt, was nach durchstbern diverser Foren durchaus mglich ist, kann jedoch nicht vorkommen.
Ebenfalls kann kein strendes Gerusch durch die Wasserpumpe verursacht werden. Betreibt man eine AiO Wasserkhlung auf Volllast, so werden auch hier die Lfter deutlich hrbar.
In vielen Tests wird von einem bertakten der Ryzen 3000 CPUs abgeraten, da das AMD eigene Precision Boost Overdrive bereits nahezu das Maximum aus den CPUs rausholt. Manuelles bertakten lsst Stromaufnahme und Temperatur schnell in die Hhe schieen und bringt nur einen geringen Leistungszuwachs. Die Zeiten in denen ~ 1 Ghz an zustzlichem Takt ohne groen Aufwand mglich waren, wie teilweise bei den FX Prozessoren blich, sind vorbei.
Fr alle die es trotzdem versuchen wollen empfiehlt sich zustzlich der Noctue NH-D15 welcher von Haus aus mit zwei Lftern daher kommt und eine nochmals bessere Khlleistung bietet.
Der Noctua NH-D15S
+ Gute Khlleistung, Idle CPU Temperatur ca. 40-50C, Load CPU Temperatur ca. 75-80C
+ RAM bis 65mm Hhe verwendbar
+ Hochwertig verarbeitet
+ bis 1000 U/min kaum hrbar
+ Sehr stabiles Montagezubehr aus Metall und nicht aus Kunststoff wie teilweise blich
+ Einfache Montage
+ Gut erweiterbar mit einem zweiten Lfter wenn ntig
+ Schne Abdeckungen in wei, schwarz und schwarz/rot erhltlich
+ 6 Jahre Garantie (bis auf den 15 Lfter kann schwer etwas kaputt gehen)
– Hoher Preis
– Bei voller Lfterdrehzahl von 1500U/min deutlich wahrnehmbar aber nicht wirklich strend
– Da nur ein Lfter verbaut ist, wird nicht das volle Potential des Khlers ausgeschpft
Fazit:
Der Kauf des NH-D15S war eine gute Entscheidung. Auf Grund von nur einem Lfter im Gegensatz zum NH-D15 ist er von der Khlleistung her nicht ganz an der Spitze der Luftkhler anzusiedeln. Dies macht er aber auf Grund seiner guten Kompatibilitt wieder gut. Sollte jemandem die Khlleistung nicht reichen, so kann er immer noch einen zweiten Lfter nachrsten.
Gute Alternative zu AiO Wasserkhlungen.
Creo que solo hay un modelo mejor que este, y la unica diferencia es que lleva un ventilador adicional y vale 10 euros mas, pero lo que es el disipador es el mismo. Es precioso, eficiente, y muy grande. Cuidado con la caja donde lo vayas a meter! Yo no veia que fuera necesario que tuviera dos ventiladores asi que me decidi por este, pero cabe destacar que trae los adaptadores para ponerle otro ventilador, un gran detalle de Noctua.
Lo unico que le mejoraria es que fuera un poco mas barato xD pero la calidad se paga y en este caso creo que merece la pena. Si miras otros disipadores de igual tamao y caracteristicas de otras marcas, veras que los precios no son mucho mas bajos.
Y por cierto, si te surge la duda de si es mejor gastarte 90 euros en un disipador o pasar a refrigeracion liquida… si el kit de refrigeracion que mires es mas barato que este disipador, seguramente sea peor. Por no hablar de que tiene mucho mas mantenimiento y peligro la liquida. Yo he preferido dar el salto a un producto TOP de aire que meterme en liquidas.
Decided I was getting fed up with my Artic cooling 240 AIO that I had been running for 4+ years on my Intel 5960X X99 rig (4.2GHz OC/1.25v). Saw a lot of articles and YouTube stuff that said air cooling was just as good if not better nowadays.
So I went for this as it was quite a bit cheaper than the two fan version. Was quite easy to install (didn’t need 2 pairs of hands like the 4 fan AIO) and fitted perfectly in my Fractal R5 case. I used the last of my Kryonaut paste with the spread method (HEDT chips are a bit big for the pea method) rather than the perfectly good tube of Noctua paste they supply. I’ll keep that for another day.
As for performance I ran Aida64 Stress test for 15 mins on the AIO and 15 mins on the Noctua. I then averaged the max temps of the cores. The end result temps wise was the same. I’m happy with that, as it was size and noise reduction I was after. Being able to reduce the fan count by 3 is a bonus.
Highly recommended.
7 degrees cooler than an Arctic Freezer 33 TR (rated 200w TDP). It is large, but fits well due to the raised fan mounting, even on a motherboard with an I/O shroud and VRM heatsink fins. No problems fitting, nice & easy.
Ich betreibe einen AMD FX 9590, welcher ab Werk bereits > 200 W TDP abgibt. Etlichen erfolglose Versuche mit verschiedenen AIOs selbst diversen Lftern kombiniert endeten ich immer damit, die Spannung des CPUs zu reduzieren um das System stabil betreiben zu knnen.
Erst dieser Lfter gestattet mir dieses downgrade wieder aufzuheben und hat sogar noch Spielraum nach oben. 4700 MHz kein Problem. (idle 40 C) 5 GHz ebenso erfolgreich und stabil.
Loben mchte ich die durchdachte Befestigung am Motherboard, welche die beste am Markt ist. Stabil, funktional und einfach zu montieren. Das gilt auch fr die Lfterklemmen.
Sehr gute Qualitt made in Austria.
Darber hinaus ist Noctua fr einen ausgezeichneten Support bekannt und liefert auch gern mal bentige Befestigungen und Ersatzmaterial nach.
Achtet bitte bein Kauf darauf, das das Teil auch ins Gehuse passt. 16cm Luft nach oben braucht das Gehuse schon hierfr. Bei mir ist das kein Problem da Big Tower Corsair 750D. Aber auch kleinere MIDI Tower haben oft genug platz. Schaut dazu am besten in den Spezifikationen Eures Gehuses nach!
Sehr gut auch das verbesserte Design, auf dem auch hhere RAM Riegel mit Khlung nicht stren. VGL. Foto 2
Von mir eine klare Kaufempfehlung!
(Alles hier Geschilderte stellt meine persnliche Meinung dar.)
Perfect, always trusted Noctua to deliver solid aircooled performance on my CPUs and to have it in a black finish is even better.
Keeps my 3700x at around 45-55 degrees idle with room temps of around 22-25 degrees and barely 75 under heavy load (obviously your mileage will vary depending on your other cooling measures).
Buy Noctua, you wont regret it.
There is not better cooler, that’s a fact. Quiet and the performance is unmatched. Noctua is the GOAT of CPU coolers.
got this mounted on a 10980XE which is an inferno of a chip, cooling performance is better than expected, its able to keep my chip cooler than the 240mm AIO that died before it while being much quieter too
just a few things to note, if you have tall ram like Corsair Dominators you can only use a single fan in the middle and its also worth noting the height clearance- i have a full tower case and the heatpipes are about 5cm away from the glass panel
Definitely recommended!
– Same as the D15 but with an asymmetric offset to allow space for PCIe GPU
– Only one fan, so no issues with RAM clearance, but minimal effect on temps.
– Its massive, so be aware – minimum 160mm clearance.
– See pictures compared with AMD Wraith Cooler!
– If you do your research, this is as effective as water cooling but without the problems with water pumps breaking/leaking
– Absolutely immaculate packaging from Noctua
