Abstract: Brace yourselves, summer is coming. As it happens every summer, the sales of advanced cooling solutions tend to increase this time of the year. This year a little more than usual, as many enthusiasts likely found the perfect excuse for an upgrade in light...
Editor's RatingThe NH-D15 is at the pinnacle of air-cooled heatsinks, with the dual-tower offering beating out several liquid-cooled solutions. It runs quiet, has an immense amount of cooling potential and is designed to be compatible with a wide variety...
if you're an enthusiast in the market for a high-end air cooling solution, that is not only quiet but performs at the level of some all-in-one liquid coolers, then you should look no further than the Noctua NH-D15!...

Time to wrap it up! Noctua has released this cooling monster last year and even when being run with Intel's latest Haswell-E processor series this cooler will do what it is designed for: perform and keep your expensive hardware running at optimal temperat...
The NH-D15 did not appear from thin air. It had a predecessor to beat – a very good one. The requirement that the heatsink not be too tall or too wide set hard limits on the designers. Given those constraints, how could they make a better cooler? Noctu...
While I currently the trend has been to go with water cooling, most people don't seem to believe that air cooling can compete. This obviously isn't true, a lot of great heatsinks will still out perform the 120mm water cooling kits that most people are p...

The Noctua NH-D15 is easy to install and it lives up to its reputation, but the size is extremely encumbersome and is not aesthetically pleasing. This is great for overclock enthusiasts who have a full tower and maybe even larger than a standard ATX moth...

Noctua did quite a good job with revamping their flagship dual radiator CPU cooler and creating the NH-D15. Noctua revised the height of the fins, width of the CPU cooler It's, spread of the heat pipes and changed the fans which improves cooling performan...

If the NH-D15 is the improved NH-D14 I cannot wait to see what is store from Noctua in the future. The sample size I had to test this cooler against was on the smaller side. More comparables will come with future reviews and I would not be surprised if th...
