NH-D15

It's huge! Works well with good instructions on fitting, but take your time and get it right. Seems well made and designed and it is keeping my CPU within temperature range when gaming.

My AIO died suddenly, no warning dead. After 2 years I should have expected it. Luckily I had an old Evo 212 in my spares box which got me up and running. I searched through Amazon and on-line to find an alternative to liquid cooling. I was never really comfortable having liquid in an electrical environment. Eventually I came across the Noctua NH-D15. Every review both on Amazon and on the web, Highly recommended it. Basically it's one of the best. Probably the best out there. OK it's big and you need a good sized case to fit it in. My Corsair 540 case had plenty of room. After reading the difficulties others had fitting it. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to install. I have low profile hyper x memory cards so the adjustment to clear them was minimal. High profile cards would profit changing the 140mm fan in the front to a 120mm fan. Air flow in my case is good. So it is fed from the front of the case by 2 140mm and out the back by another 140mm fan. Coupled by 2 overhead 140mm fans which remove any hot air pockets. I have to say the temps inside the case have reduced incredibly well. The CPU and Core temps are better than what I was achieving with an AIO which I had to have running at full belt when heavy gaming. With the Noctua NH-D15 I'm running cool and quiet and not going over 40 degrees. That was the big eye opener. Not to mention the reduced amount of power I am using when gaming. Which in the present environment of energy hikes from greedy companies is a good thing. My power consumption has been reduced by half. Which for parents out there, is a good thing. Keeping the kids happy and saving money on energy. The Noctua NH- D15 is a good all rounder. Giving excellent cooling, far superior to many AIO's out there. With energy saving to boot and half the price of AIO's. Air cooling is getting better and better which is a good thing for those like me on a budget and to be honest there isn't any sudden breakdowns apart from a fan failing. Which can be easily and cheaply rectified. All in all the Noctua NH-D15. Is an excellent product. From the moment you turn it on it is giving you the best cooling and energy savings out there.

I am running an i7 9700k at 4.9 GHz on an MSI Z390 Gaming Plus board (in a standard ATX case), so obviously need a decent cooler. I had previously been able to get 4.5 GHz using a cheaper Arctic cooler, which ran well, but the system was at it's limit. So, my observations: - Not the easiest in the world to fit, but ok. Fitting instructions come in paper form, and are easy enough to follow. It has to be said, I do have some spatial awareness issues, so I'm not the best at this type of thing, but I got it done (maybe in half an hour after having a good read at the instructions and separating out the different fittings to avoid confusion). It's a big beast, and it gets bigger if you add the second fan (which I was not able to at the time of fitting). The second fan might have fitted, but it would have meant crushing the cabling up into a corner, something I wasn't comfortable with. I might be able to sort this out with cable ties at a later time. Do what I didn't, and take out the GPU before fitting! My case also had 2 silly fans built into the case wall, and I had to remove these to get the case closed again. Also, I observed that for my own board, the second fan would only fit onto one side of the radiator nearest the front), as on the other side, the board heatsink impeded this. RAM clearance was not an issue for me. I have one block of regular RAM, and the radiator overhangs it. If you think you will be pushed for space in a standard case, you are quite right! - Performance: Well, first class. My system will now run Handbrake at 4.9 GHz, reaching a maximum of 64C after a while. Previously at 4.5 GHz with the Arctic cooler (a good cooler in it's own right), it was hitting 90-100C immediately. Basically, at 4.9GHz, I'm hitting other issues with the overclock, but heat is not one of them. Bear in mind, this is without the second fan fitted. - Noise: There isn't any, fairly much. Under full load it sounds the same as it does with no load. It's as quiet as a machine at idle. I'm quite amazed by that, since the other cooler I used (like I said, pretty good) was working like crazy at 90C, and was a bit noisy. I have no experience with liquid cooling (nor do I want any), but I gather that this cooler might be as quiet. I wanted a cooler I could throw pretty much anything at, and I appear to have it. It's not cheap, but if you can afford it, and need it, go for it. It has a 6 year warranty as well, so all in I'm pretty pleased. It's probably easier to fit for someone with more experience than me, so I wouldn't let that put you off. Just read the instructions! Comes with thermal paste (which I didn't use as I have some already), a low noise adapter (I have no idea why and I didn't use) and a Y splitter cable to allow 2 fans to be linked to one CPU fan port on the board. Additional information 25 Mar 2023. Been using for 2 years now, does exactly what I need, and has never missed a beat. My clock speed has been increased to 5Ghz recently, temperatures are still in the 70s, maximum. As for my statement regards the noise of the cooler under load, it sounds more like a sales pitch than I'd want. On reflection, there is a bit more noise when running the system under full load, although it is not offensive, and I'm quite noise sensitive. This is possibly a moot point as my GPU is reasonably noisier than this cooler when the system is working hard. And it obviously depends on fan settings in the BIOS. I can never see the noise of the cooler becoming an issue, as it's rare that the CPU is working alone, the TV sound is off etc. In the real world it solved two problems for me: noise and heat. I simply don't have to think about them. I am so pleased I am in the process of getting another for a new PC build, there is no choice for me, this is it.

Acheté en août 2024 pour 109,90 €, le Noctua NH-D15 s'est rapidement imposé comme le refroidisseur idéal pour mon PC gamer milieu de gamme, équipé d'un AMD Ryzen 7 7700X et d'une GIGABYTE Radeon RX 7800 XT sur une carte mère MSI Pro B650-S WiFi. Et je dois dire que je suis impressionnée ! Tout d'abord, parlons des performances. Bien que je n'aie pas de point de comparaison directe, mon processeur tourne à environ 70° en session de jeu avec un seul ventilateur de monté (2 possibles), ce qui est très satisfaisant. On peut dire que ce refroidisseur fait son travail avec brio ! Côté bruit, c'est le silence absolu. En fonctionnement normal, le NH-D15 est presque inaudible, et même sous charge, les ventilateurs de ma carte mère sont légèrement plus bruyants. Pour les amateurs de silence, c'est un véritable atout. L'installation a été un jeu d'enfant. Tout le nécessaire était fourni : pâte thermique, outils et adaptateurs. Je n'ai rencontré aucun souci lors du montage, si ce n’est que de me rendre compte que je ne pourrais pas ajouter le second ventilateur faute de place dans mon boitier. Je l'ai donc monté avec un seul ventilateur, car le second touchait ma barrette de RAM. Cela n'a pas posé de problème, car même avec un seul ventilateur, les performances sont déjà excellentes. Donc un conseil pour ceux qui envisagent d'acheter ce refroidisseur : faites bien attention à ses dimensions. Il est massif, et il est essentiel de vérifier que le NH-D15 s'adapte à votre boîtier, tant en profondeur qu'en largeur, surtout si vous prévoyez d'utiliser un second ventilateur avec une config plus gourmande en rafraichissement. En termes de design, le NH-D15 est magnifique. Les lamelles du radiateur sont fines et nombreuses, assurant une excellente dissipation de la chaleur dans le boîtier. J'aurais souhaité une autre couleur pour les ventilateurs pour s'accorder avec mes composants noirs, mais cela ne gâche en rien l'esthétique générale. Les tiges de métal qui ressortent du radiateur sont plutôt élégantes et détournent le regard. Quant au rapport qualité-prix, il est indéniable. Les performances obtenues avec un seul ventilateur, couplées à la réputation de Noctua sur les sites spécialisés, justifient amplement l'investissement. En conclusion, le Noctua NH-D15 est sans conteste le roi des refroidisseurs d'air. Il offre des performances exceptionnelles, un fonctionnement silencieux, et un design soigné. Si vous cherchez à garder votre processeur au frais tout en gardant votre PC silencieux, ne cherchez pas plus loin ! 😄❄️

Il est franchement nickel, et facile a monter, le seul truc c’est qu’on doit surélever le 2eme ventilateur a cause des barrettes de mémoire, du coup j’ai mis que le ventilateur du milieu et meme avec un seul ventilateur mon processeur ne chauffe vraiment pas

TDP105WのCPUに3年間使用したが、故障無く良く冷やしてくれた。CPUに負荷をかけるとうるさくなるけど、耐久性や冷却性はとても良いです。 但し大きいのでゆとりのあるケースでしか使用できません。

Utilizzo impianti a liquido custom da anni. Quando è morta la mia ultima pompa ho montato in emergenza il dissipatore stock del mio i7 920: temperature assurde e rumore inaccettabile, come atteso. Considerando le recensioni entusiastiche di questo Noctua NH-D15, secondo le quali sembrava paragonabile per temperature e rumore alle controparti a liquido, ho deciso di provare. Prima di ordinare mi sono informato con il supporto cliente Noctua sul kit NM-I3, necessario per l'installazione su una scheda madre vecchia come la mia (2009); mi hanno garantito che avrebbero inviato gratuitamente a casa il kit con la semplice prova di acquisto. Ho quindi ordinato, e inviato la schermata di riepilogo e una foto della mia scheda madre tramite apposita form del sito Noctua. Ricevuta la confezione del dissipatore, subito salta all'occhio la qualità dell'insieme. Il packaging è perfetto, pulito, compatto. Istruzioni chiare, componenti di qualità. Anche il kit aggiuntivo gratuito, che si aggiunge a quelli già compresi nel package principale, ripropone i medesimi canoni di qualità e chiarezza. Ho smontato la mia scheda madre per montare la base di aggancio (questa scocciatura è d'obbligo per qualsiasi sistema di raffreddamento decente, quindi poco da dire). Il montaggio è rapido e semplice, e in un batter d'occhio avevo reinserito la scheda madre nel case e agganciato anche il dissipatore. Prima di acquistare avevo chiaramente preso qualche misura per essere certo ci fosse spazio. Fortunatamente il mio Thermaltake Armor ne aveva a sufficienza nonostante l'età. Primo avvio, ingresso nel bios. Configuro tutto secondo default per una prima prova. Qualche minuto di utilizzo ed è chiaro che sarebbe stato sprecato senza un minimo di overclock... Secondo accesso al bios, overclock da 2.66 a 4.00 Ghz, avvio di windows... Tutto silenzioso, tutto fresco. Massima temperatura sotto carico 75 gradi, che nel mio studio corrisponde alla temperatura che avevo con il dissipatore stock senza overclock e rumore d'inferno. In breve, è come se non ci fosse, l'unico rumore significativo rimasto è quello della scheda video quando avvio un gioco. Ho immediatamente ordinato uno Xeon x5680 per dare in pasto a questo D15 qualcosa di adeguato. Non avrei mai immaginato di vedere (e non sentire...) questi risultati da un raffreddamento ad aria. Appendice sul supporto: il supporto clienti Noctua, contattato tra l'altro prima del vero acquisto, è assolutamente all'altezza dei prodotti: rispondono subito e in modo cordiale, e gestiscono ogni cliente (o possibile cliente) in modo personale e diretto. Si vede che puntano a risolvere problemi e dissipare dubbi, e soprattutto è evidente la volontà di creare un rapporto di fiducia con l'utente. La sensazione è che ci saranno sempre per qualsiasi necessità, anche negli anni successivi all'acquisto. Significativo che vengano forniti kit per adattare qualsiasi dissipatore a nuove e vecchie piattaforme. Enorme plauso a Noctua!

Fantastic cooler, a bit expensive but worth it
