Review on Noctua NH-D15S Dual-Tower CPU Cooler with NF-A15 PWM Fan - Premium Brown Edition by Wan Mohd Taufik (Wan ᠌

I bought to replace the untimely deceased Swiftech H220X - the pump died. Dropsy took a year ago because. I thought that it would be quieter than an air cooler and, as I now understand, I miscalculated on all fronts: the NH-D15S works an order of magnitude quieter (ten times), i. E. including the computer - I can't hear the cooler working or not (but it works)! The cooler coped with the cooling of the stock i7-4790 under LinX effortlessly: the temperature was kept at 50 degrees at a speed of no higher than 900rpm - with such operation, the cooler is still not audible! The cooler supports mounting in four different orientations: the cooler itself is asymmetric at the base: the heat pipes on the one hand are more elongated and flatter, so it retains the ability to bypass the limitations of the mat. boards if there are any protruding parts near the socket. In my case, on the mat. On the Asus Impact VII board, there is a power plate not far from the socket, which prevented the cooler from being installed (the heat pipes rested against the plate), the problem was solved by simply flipping the cooler 180 degrees.
