Super cooling performance, little to no noise, good workmanship. Premium CPU cooler that is worth its high purchase price in my view.
Wow, a big hunk of a CPU cooler. But as big as it is, so is the cooling performance. The cooler cools a Ryzen 7 2700 (8 cores). Under full load, it doesn't get much above 50 °C and no noise can be heard in the closed case. The workmanship is excellent, as are the included accessories (screws, mounting brackets and thermal paste).
Pro
- Cooling capacity
- Almost noiseless
- Processing
- Accessories
Contra
- Size (check beforehand whether it fits into the housing of choice)
10/10
The NH-D15 is a cooler of the highest quality. The performance surpasses most 280mm AIOs and that at a very good price (Compared to 280mm).
Not a con for me personally but this thing is huge.Pro
- Top performance
- Best mounting system on the market (imo)
- Quiet
Contra
- Does not fit in compact enclosures
Before buying, make sure that the cooler really fits into the housing and does not conflict with the RAM.
Quiet and good cooling performance
Pro
- Quiet
- Good cooling capacity
Contra
- large and above all deep
Attention, identical with NH-D15 - but only Mounting Kit for AM4 included
The cooler is absolutely identical to the normal NH-D15 version - only the mounting kit is designed for AM4 (Intel mounting kit is not included).
Therefore better buy the normal version, which has for the same price all mounting kits for Intel and AMD included (AM2+, AM3+, AM4, FM1, FM2, FM2+, LGA 1150, LGA 1155, LGA 1156, LGA 2011, LGA 2011-v3, LGA 1151, LGA 2066, LGA 1200)!
If you already have a NH-D15, you can simply order the NM-AM4 upgrade kit (mounting kit) for the AM4 socket - Noctua will send it to you for free upon request.
I already had the normal version of the NH-D15 and made the mistake of buying this AM4 version - believing that the "baseplate" has a different dimension and the cooler would therefore fit better on AM4. Unfortunately this is not the case, the coolers are identical and I could have ordered the mounting kit for AM4 for free.
Noctua can not help it that I'm a fool - therefore theoretically full score for the cooler. Good thing is the thing allweil, otherwise I would not have bought me the second time. One point deduction, because here (at the same price) the other mounting kits are not included - and because the differences to the normal version are not really explained even at Noctua on the website.
Pro
- Strong performance for an air cooler
- Quiet at low and medium speeds
- Noctua quality
- Nice crap brown
Contra
- Only AM4 mounting kit included (unlike the normal version)
- Too expensive compared to the normal version (which has all mounting kits included)
- At high speeds vibrations that are very audible
As long as you're not moving your PC around a lot and are really careful when moving, then a really good cooler
Really quiet, but really heavy
Pro
- quiet
- low temperature
Contra

Excellent product for AM4

Pro
