Noctua NH-D15

Same here after my Corsair H100i started failing at one year. Got a Noctua NH-D15 and not only is it outperforming the Corsair, it is much quieter.

I purchased an bare ATX AIGO CPU Case that had plenty of room. The Noctua NH-D15, Premium CPU Cooler with 2X NF-A15 PWM 140mm Fans (Brown) is big and takes up a lot of room. However, it is quiet, looks great, and it's cooling performance is superb! A plus for computer modders is that it has that mec...

I'm the opposite, I was using a Noctua NH-D15 and changed to an arctic liquid freezer II 360 locked at 20% for my silent build and temps never go above mid 60s. The Noctua was nice, but my god it was huge and made making any adjustments an absolute nightmare to do inside the case in regards to other components, like I couldn't even reach the GPU clip. The weight of that thing worried me as well, like having a rock hanging off your mobo.

It’s not a bad fan, and I’m more than sure it would work just fine. However, it’s a large fan that definitely would not fit a small PC with a large graphics card. Make sure to check the sizes BEFORE purchasing this. It’s a lot bigger than it looks in the pictures. Like I said, I’m more than sure the...

Just slap a Noctua NH-D15 air cooler and you'll be more than fine. You don't really need an AIO liquid cooler.

But if you want that particular cooler only, then yes, it is also fine.

The totally inadequet RAM clearances should be clearly specified before ordering. The marketing materials for this product are misleading saying there are 66 mm of RAM clearance. I am not happy about buying an additional fan at $32 before tax and shipping. I think I should get a rebate for the $32 e...

Noctua NH-D15 works awesome on this CPU. No need for AIO - I had a 8700k - NH-D15, and upgraded to the 12900k - NH-D15.. I probably wont do an AIO again.

Anyway - air cooling is the way to go and its quiet.

I came here to rate the Noctua NH-D15 because I received an email asking me to rate it. I've only had the thing a few days, so I can only comment on what I know for sure so far. When I received this thing I couldn't believe how big the box was! I was almost afraid to open it for fear that it might n...

Your cpu will be OK in the meantime. Then buy a noctua NH-D15 for $100. It performs better than some AIO's and will outlast the rest of your build (and probably your next few builds too). No need to spend $50 on something just to want/need to get another one in a few years.

My H80 died the other day, it seems the drive electronics for the pump failed. I think I'm done with liquid cooling, at least the AIO form. It's just too complicated with too many points of failure for too little gain. There's not much to go wrong with a hunk of metal, so I decided to go with what e...
