Hochzufriedenstellend
Knnte man 6 Sterne geben, dann wrde ich sie geben.
Ich hatte zuvor den Vorgnger, Noctua NH D15 S im PC, mit dem ich auch schon sehr zufrieden war,
aber ich habe jetzt aufgerstet auf den neuen NH D15 G2 LBC,
und habe es nicht bereut, ja was sage ich, ich bin uerst zufrieden !
Der Neue khlt jetzt im Idle und bei geringer bis hoher Last um schtzungsweise 5-6 Grad besser als sein Vorgnger, gemessen bei gleicher Lfterdrehzahl als der Vorgnger,
und ist dabei genau so leise, wenn nicht sogar noch leiser, als sein Vorgnger.
Irgendwelche andere strende Gerusche (Rattel-Gate) bis maximal Lfterdrehzahl konnte ich auch nicht feststellen.
Ich betreibe den Nh D15 G2 – in der LBC – Version auf einem Intel LGA 2066 Sytem,
auf einem Motherboard, Asus ProWorkstation X299 SAGE2 LGA 2066 mit einer CPU Intel Core i9 10940X mit 14 Kernen und einer TDP von 165 Watt.
Es gibt im Internet Leute, die jammern da dieser Khler zu teuer sei,
und vergleichen Ihn dabei mit verschiedenen billigst-AIO Wasserkhlungen, und manche sogar mit gnstigen120mm Luftkhlern,
und das passt fr mich einfach berhaupt nicht.
Denn, dass ist so, als vergleiche man den Kaufpreis eines Mercedes mit dem eines Fiat.
Auerdem sind jetzt beim Neuem (Kaufpreis 150,-) jetzt 2 Lfter dabei, der Vorgnger, der nur ca. 100,- Euro kostete, hatte nur einen Lfter dabei, und das haben diese Leute, denen der Neue zu teuer ist, auch noch nicht “behirnt” !
Mir wrde es niemals einfallen, auf meinen mehrere tausend Euro PC, dann als letztes, eine billigst AIO WAK. draufzu monieren. (alleine nur die CPU meines PC kostetet ca. 1000,- Euro !!!)
Denn, jede Wasserkhlung wird irgendwann mal kaputt, (=Wasserschwund, Pumpendefekt) und dann ist auch die CPU kaputt, und vielleicht sogar der ganze PC.
Aber ein Khlkrper mit Lamellen kann nicht kaputt gehen, und sollte mal ein Lfter kaputt gehen, dann luft der 2te. Lfter immer noch.
It's quiet, very quie
This is the second Noctua NH-D15 that I’ve had. The first was seven years old, used in three or four systems, so it was time for a refresh. The new one went in without issue and started first time. Running, it’s whisper quiet, barely audible. It is cooling an AMD Ryzen 7 7700. For a quiet PC, this is recommended.
The fans are magic
I have built 40+ computers over the last 50 years. The AM5 platform that I built originally had a Gigabyte 680E Mater mb and 7900X3D for a cpu. The 9xxx Ryzens came out, so I updated to a 9950x. The original configuration had my first water AIO cooler, a NZXT Kraken. It worked well enough except the software sucked. I had to route the cooling fans to the motherboard fan headers because the Kraken 360 software constantly ramped up and down the fan speed. There was a delay between the cpu load and the liquid temperature that controlled the fan speed. It worked but was twice as loud as my 5950x based system.
I thought that air cooling was a better choice because I was better able to tune it for noise. I removed the Kraken and installed the Noctua G2 LC which was very easy to install. Like I mentioned earlier I have installed hundreds of pc fans. I never thought much about it because a fan is a fan. Nope. The 140 mm fans on this cooler are the most premium fan I have ever seen. Silent. Vibration free. Quiet. If they cost twice as much, I don’t care.
The cooler is an excellent 8 tube unit that was well designed and constructed. After installing, it worked perfectly. I ran a few benchmarks to see and hear the performance. The Geekbench 6 numbers were 10% above the highest listed rating. I only have a RTX-3090 but still was 99% faster than all of the gaming pc’s on earth on 3D Mark. It is only 3 days after the Ryzen 9950x was released, so it was not in wide use.
The 9950x is rated for 5.7GHz, but easily pulled 5.9 GHz in benchmarks using the Noctua cooler.
Highly recommended. Yes, despite the price, it is worth every penny.
Meilleur ventirad du marché pour AM4 serie 5000X
Le meilleur ventirad du march sign Noctua comme toujours 🙂
Je l’utilise dans ma case air cooled Fractal Torrent avec un Thermal Grizzly KryoSheet (33 x 33 mm) sur mon Ryzen 5900X. Rien a dire, robuste, superbes temprature mme en t, et pas bruyant… bref le top un prix premium. Le Noctua NH-D15 G2 LB est parfait pour AM4 srie 5000X.
Par contre faite attention la taille de votre RAM, je recommande en dessous de 40mm comme les Corsair Vengeance LPX (34mm) car au dessus de 40mm vous allez devoir dcaler le ventilo Noctua et peut tre que votre case ne pourra pas bien se fermer.
Parfai
exactement ce que j’attendais en terme de perf de refroidissement l’ancien nh-d15 tais pas adapter a mon processeur (ryzen 5900x) et je montais beaucoup en temprature tandis que maintenant avec celui je ne monte jamais au dessus de 70 mme avec mes plus gros jeu.
Outstanding performance
It is on the top of the price list but the performance you get is unmatched, currently cooling an Ryzen 7 5800xt3d with potential to use it for future builds
10 years of refinement from the legend. This cooler is awesome. Using a 7800X3D. I was using a U12A chromax cooler. Great cooler by the way. That was able to keep the CPU below 63C with Cyberpunk 2077. Most other games it hovered around 55C.
With this D15 Gen 2, it’s able to keep the CPU under 56C. Haven’t seen it go above that. It terms of actual stress tests I haven’t done anything, but I’m sure it’ll have no issue with a 7800X3D. Not exactly a hard chip to cool.
It’s a behemoth of a cooler that comes with the improved NF14X25 Gen 2 fans. They are so quiet. At 80% I can barely start to hear the fans. My 140mm Be Quiet! Light wings I started to hear at around 45%. The entire fan feels of quality thanks to LCP (liquid crystal polymer) material.
The packaging is as nice as any other Noctua product. Lots of extra goodies including thermal paste, 4 pin two-way fan splitter, Two 4 pin fan extensions, torx t20 screw driver (thank you Noctua! Torx is so much better than Phillips), AM5 thermal paste guard, and a few other things.
Overall great cooler espically for AM5 seeing that it’s the LBC version. Now the unfortunate part. It’s $150, which is tough for a lot of people. Especially when Thermalright’s dual tower coolers are getting close to the same results for almost 4X less the price. For me, the price is justified thanks to the quality of everything, plus the extras the cooler comes with. Plus the fans are leagues above anything that I’ve used recently.
I’d really recommend going on YouTube and watching Gamer’s Nexus’ review of the cooler if you’re on the fence.
You can tell Noctua really put the passion and work into engineering this cooler. I’m glad it took them so long and had to delay it from last year. It shows the quality of work.
