Noctua NH-D15S chromax.Black: Premium Dual-Tower CPU Cooler with NF-A15 PWM 140mm Fan - Black Review

Pretty like my wife but absolutely surpasses her in quietness. Seriously, this is a very large cooler, so make sure your case and motherboard will fit on it. This is a well designed cooler with a very quiet single fan that is probably better than most cheap AIO liquid coolers and can get the job done, or even better than some mid-range AIO liquid coolers. Everything was easy to install and Noctua provides everything and more you need to get this installed on your system.

Extremely disappointed with this purchase. To be fair, the manufacturer offered to send me a kit if I made an effort to show them proof that their product doesn't support the main motherboard, but I didn't think their kit would solve my problem would, since they are brave, lament. claim that their product supports AM4+ processors by default. I'm here to say it's not. My motherboard requires a key part (CPU backplate) that it is not compatible with. Who knows, they might have the right part in…

I don't usually write reviews for Revain but I love this cool box so much I had to share it. around 34-40C on standby and I didn't even see the temperatures go above 50C even after playing Doom Eternal for an hour. Full disclosure, I'm not good with motherboard hardware so I installed it from my local Data Doctors shop here at PHX. With this monstrous cooler size, I was way out of my comfort zone to attempt to install it myself. Oh, and this thing is way quieter than the stock cooler. Worth…

I have come to the conclusion that water coolers are the best CPU coolers. Wow, I was wrong. I had an H115i water cooler for 3 years and thought it was the best until the pump broke. Then I looked for a new cooler. I have an I7-6700K overclocked to 4.6GHz. Here are the results of the coolers I tested with Prime95 and 70F Ambient: Water - H115i - 85°C, Water - Castle 280EX - 78Cair - Assassin III - 72Cair - NHD-15S - 69°C. the pump is dead. The Castle 280EX is a good cooler and runs slower than…

There has already been a lot of feedback on the performance of this cooler and we already know how good it is so I'll just focus on the package. Is it suitable for high RAM? Yes. I have a Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro and it fits. It's not the highest RAM, but there's still plenty of room. Can a second 140mm fan be added above the RAM? No, not if he gets bigger than the average fan. The side panel does not close when the second fan sticks out. If you have room in your case and are happy with the…

I'm using this with a Ryzen 5950x in a Fractal Define 7 case with 3 standard fans. When testing with Prime95, the processor runs at 65°C with the fan at 25%. Some P95 tests raise the temperature to the mid 80's for 20 to 30 seconds, but never higher, then immediately return. Have run the P95 overnight with the same results. The task manager reports CPU @ 100% and CPU speed 4.5 GHz. I haven't tried increasing the frequency to 5GHz yet, but I expect the temperature won't change much. Ironically…

Wow. I just received mine and all I can say is that the packaging is hardcore - three boxes and two layers of air and foam between the device and the world. You could probably play rugby with this pack and the part inside would not be damaged. The cooler itself is about half the size of my head. I expect a lot from him as long as he gets down to business. My desired result is significantly quieter standby and voice recordings, as well as significantly better heat dissipation under heavy loads…

Honestly it's too early to write this review but this is Noctua and we all know what they do, probably the best solutions for air cooling It looks classy, professional and, due to its size, draws everyone's attention. Even the packaging was A+. Idle at 35C just now after install which was a drop of 4C from Scythe Mugen 5 with 2 fans at 3800x. Used Kryonaut for both coolers. You'll have to experiment with this to see the temperature difference under load and in games. Will update this review in…
