Runs cooler than my old 360mm Corsair cooler. This version is meant to be used for memory compatibility especially if the profile is a bit high, AKA if you opted for RGB. I have nothing but praise for this cooler for the last year or so. It’s also not a disgusting brown color like Noctua has been known for.If you want a high quality air cooler, look no further.

Compré este producto para un cliente que reemplazó el enfriamiento líquido por un disipador de torre (a recomendación mía) y puedo constatar que Noctua es una marca de calidad garantizada. Ruido casi imperceptible y una disipación de calor que bajo a 29 grados cuando estaba casi por los 100.Es fácil de instalar aunque cuesta un poco colocar el ventilador cuando está ya montado el disipador, nada grave pero cuesta algo de trabajo. Revisa muy bien las medidas de tu gabinete y RAM porque es bastante grande el disipador, sin embargo, sus aletas inferiores dan buena compatibilidad con RAM altas, lo monte a lado de unas Corsair de 55mm de altura y quedó perfecto.El producto llegó rápido y bien empaquetado, sin ningún daño ni percance.

Very quiet cooler to replace my water-cooled one after the pump went out. Keeps my CPU idling at around 33 degrees C. I attached some pictures to show you the fit. Full case picture with nearly rotten banana for scale attached. I don't do "precise." Other pictures walk you around to show you the clearance. Reference back to banana for scale. It's really close to my GPU, but if I installed it going the other direction it would actually be touching it. Massive clearance on the bottom and went well above my already tall RAM. I forgot to take a picture of that clearance and can't be bothered to at this point. The installation would have been REALLY easy if I had followed rule #1: "Don't eat an edible before you begin." Since I didn't follow that rule it took me over 2 hours. The struggle was real. Great unit. Recommend.

This thing is huge! Build quality is top notch, nothing less from Noctus.LGA1700 is supported right out of the box, so follow the instructions carefully!And there are extra fan clips for the 2nd fan!This CPU cooler is keeping the i7-14700F cool during gaming.

Impressions unboxing, quality, I mean Noctua has built that reputation and I was happy with this as my first product of theirs. I tend to have a difficult time installing CPU cooling solutions, but this was easy to work with, with no issues - first try and I was done. Once I actually started to use my system, I added a 120mm Noctua fan to the front and it keeps my 7800X3D cool - on demanding games it barely touches 80 to lower 80s, more often staying within the 65-78 range. Highly recommend this if you're considering it, placed it within an NZXT H6 Flow case and it fits perfectly.

The title notwithstanding, it did fit my case, but it is a close fit. I knew it would fit going into it, but I didn't realize just how close of a fit it is. I am still rocking my tried and true Antec 1200 case (ATX full tower case from back in the day). I have replaced all the 120mm molex fans with PWM fans so I can control them, but I digressAs for the performance of this cooler:It is a lot quieter and cools better than by previous Corsair tower cooler. Across the range of CPU load, it operates much quieter and cooler while performing the same tasks.Installation was easy enough. The cooler came with mounting hardware for both AMD and Intel coolers. Noctua's support page even states they will offer mounting upgrades for future socket types free of charge. So this cooler can continue be used through multiple generations.This cooler came with a single fan with the mounting clips to install a second, which is what I did. At the time of my purchase, the non-"s" version of this cooler was only available without Prime shipping. I ordered an NH-A15(the same model of fan that's on this cooler) at the same time and used the clips that came with the cooler to mount it. Do be advised that because of the proximity of the RAM, the additional fan has to be mounted slightly higher. If you are tight on cooler height, you can forgo the second fan or use a 120mm instead of the 140 that I went with. To put it another way, the fan that's attached directly above the ram extends further above the top of the cooler than the fan in the middle. A 120mm fan in the configuration would likely fit flush with the top of the cooler, if not below.All-in-all, it is great cooler. I absolutely recommend it, provided you have room in your case for it. If this cooler is too big for your case, I'd recommend the NH-U12 for your consideration.

This is a replacement for an AIO. Works as good as the Corsair h150i cappellix. And makes far less noise. Its a hefty piece of hardware though installation is a breeze. The fins are offset so there's tons of room between it and the GPU. This is the 3rd Noctua cooler purchased and they are all doing a great cooling job. The 140mm fan is black and looks great in the case as I don't like the standard Noctua fan colors. Its keeping an 11600k CPU at 32 degrees idle at room temp no air conditioning. The main reasons for using this cooler is it doesn't smell and will outlast any AIO. By the time this thing dies it will be major upgrade time anyways. A tad pricey but you get your money worth in the long run. Not for every type of setup to your liking, yet works well on LGA1200 z590 mobo. BTW, there is good RAM clearance but covers the first 2 ram slots though you can still see the LEDS from side on.

Let me start out by saying this cooler was going into an existing build, not a new build. I had a two year old Thermaltake AIO that was failing miserably and making a lot of noise. You could hear the pump whining and the line into the radiator was burning hot and clearly not cooling correctly. Luckily I had some RGB set up in my case and I always keep it set to monitor the temperature of the CPU. Green=good, Red=bad. I noticed when I was playing games like Red Dead Redemption 2 it was turning Red and eventually it just stayed there as the AIO got worse. Eventually my PC did shut down because of the CPU overheating. That was enough for me to start the research and I settled on this air cooler after hearing the pump whine on my AIO.I wanted the NH-D15 but because of my motherboard I could only fit one fan so I had to settle for the NH-D15S. I highly recommend you head over to Noctua's website and make sure your MB is compatible before ordering anything. After tons of research I choose this guy over the BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4. I read nightmares from people installing the BeQuiet cooler because their mounting brackets were just horrible.As far as install it kind of stunk, but that was because of my case (Thermaltake Core V21). I love my cube case, it's the best case I ever worked in, but once my original cooler was installed I had to pull everything out to get to the new base plate for the NH-D15S on the back of my MB. My power supply was blocking access to the back of the MB, so I took all the sides of the V21 off (I love this case you can pull any side off except for the very front/back) and removed the PS to get to the base plate without removing my MB. I also took out my Graphics card, RAM and network card as well simply because if you slip with a screwdriver you don't have to worry about hitting anything.From there make sure to READ the directions and pick the correct alignment and spacers for your MB. They do supply the hardware for the LGA1700 MB's. I would also recommend before you attach anything to dry fit the cooler into place to make sure you align the mounting plates in the correct direction (there are two ways you can choose to mount this, front to back or side to side and the mounting plates HAVE to be in the correct direction. Check all your clearances and have at it! It took me about 30 minutes to do by myself.I have a Z490M MB with a i9-10900K Intel CPU. I run it at stock with no over clocking. My 280 Super MSI card always ran super quiet, even under load and this cooler does as well.After installing it I immediately tried RDR2 the game that was killing my old cooler. I played for about an hour to stress it and it never went above 60 degrees and ran smoothly. Most of the time when the CPU isn't busy it runs at 40 degrees. I could buy a few more 120mm fans for my case but don't see a need at this point since it is SUPER quiet and staying very cool.I'll come back an update this review if anything changes but the system is whisper quiet. When I built my original PC I made it so it was quiet and it was for two years until the pump in the AIO went kaput!Now it's back to library quiet in my office!UPDATE: 3/4/2023: I just got Hogwarts's Legacy and have been playing it for hours and the temperatures have stayed below 65 with no issues. I'm running a 2080 Super card with LGA 1200 i9-9900k CPU. My fan speed in the Noctua runs at about 800 during the game but it is still very quiet. You can feel the heat being pumped out of the case with no issue. This cooler is a beast and it isn't even the two fan model, just buy it!

Sehr leise, einfache Montage(vor allem mit YouTube ;) ), und schöne 40c° im standard Betrieb bei meinem Ryzen 5950x.Bin von Wasserkühlung AIO, auf den Lüfter hier umgestiegen da die pumpe+1Fan Probleme machten , kein großer Temperatur unterschied und auf Dauer kann da nur der "Fan" defekt gehen, was viel einfacher zu beheben ist als eine Wasserkühlung.

REVIEW: Noctua NH-D15S chromax.Black, Premium Dual-Tower CPU Cooler with NF-A15 PWM 140mm Fan (Black) chromax.Black, Premium Dual-Tower CPU Cooler with NF-A15 PWM 140mm Fan (Black)I dont know what to say..... but just WOW.I went from AMD Stock HS/fan. Upgraded to the smaller Noctua NH-U12S due to space issues with the previous case. It was nice and clear improvements. But then I later changed the case and suddenly had a lot of room so I upgraded to Noctua NH-D15S.Noctua NH-D15S is **absolutely** amazing. It is the pinnacle of excellent in air cooling.--Build quality is second to none. Packaged with absolutely everything needed. Mounting system is dead simple and ZERO issues putting it into motherboard. For AM4 mount, you need to keep the AMD backplate but the rest is dead simple. Two brackets, spacers, screws. Then you mount the head sink with two screws. Then lastly the fan slots in with a pull tab holder. If you know what youre doing, this is a 15minute change from previous cooler to the new cooler. Note that the mounting brackets are different between the Noctua NH-D15S and Noctua NH-U12S I had on before.--The 140mm fan is dead silent when idle and gets mildly louder at full RPM. Its not loud at ALL. Quieter thanmy 120mm case fans blowing in/out.--I have two sticks of Corsair vengeance RGB (higher profile ddr) and this has ZERO issues clearing those.--You must orient the heat sink properly so it gives you the "offset" shifted clearance (which Noctua did on purpose) to clear the PCIE card next to the CPU (usually the graphics card). Initially i mounted it the wrong way and it was almost touching the graphics card and basically impossible to mount the fan clips. Once i turned it around, there was a good 3cm of clearance between heatsink and the pcie video card. And of course, i had an easy effort to get my fingers in there to mount the fan clip.______________________How does it compare with Noctua NH-U12S ?I have an AMD 3900x mildly overclocked to 4120mhz.I tested Noctua NH-U12S with prime95 with "small" torture test (which is the worst test for cpu utilization and heat generation). After 25 minutes, that setup hit 93C peak and stayed there for the duration of the test. CAse was closed.Then i swapped to THIS Noctua NH-D15S, otherwise SAME setup.I hit maximum of 83 degC given same setup same room temp. That is a whopping 10degC delta. AMAZING result in my opinion._______________________I can EASILY conclude that for Only a few dollars more, this Noctua NH-D15S is WELL WORTH the money if you have the case space to accommodate it. My case is and old Cooler Master HAF XB EVO ATX Desktop Case which is like a cube shaped box -- lots of space.These are hard to come by, if you see it in stock, buy it.
