With the NH-D15 cooler, Noctua took the design of their popular NH-D14 cooler and tweaked it for high performance and better board compatibility. The build quality and design of the NH-D15 is excellent, as well come to expect from Noctua, with all copper ...

The Noctua NH-D15 heatpipe tower CPU cooler is a beast that is ready to tame the heat from any of today's high powered processors. With six heatpipes, two towers of cooling fins, and the ability to support a pair of 140mm fans, undersized is not a word th...
The Noctua NH-D15 is a replacement of one of the most renowned and highly acclaimed air cooler ever built, the Noctua NH-D14. The Noctua NH-D14 launched almost five years ago and back at that time, we gave it a 8.8 score, solely based on its performance s...

If you have not heard of Noctua by now you really should. In my opinion they have the best air coolers on the market, period! Not only in terms of performance, but when it comes to ease of installation, quality and extras they provide. If anyone is in th...

Let's start this conclusion by reviewing the NH-D15's performance and does it perform better than the NH-D14? Well yes is the answer to that question by knocking 3.65°C off the NH-D14. That's a significant performance increase meaning that not only have N...

I've been following and testing products made by Noctua since the very beginning so when they announced the NH-D15 to us we immediately knew that it would be a worthy successor to the highly acclaimed NH-D14. Sure we didn't expect miracles since in their ...

Surface area and airflow loss due to memory cutouts
When reviewing silent cooling solutions we are often forced to recognize that silent cooling doesn't always translate into good overclocking performance yet, there are a few notable exceptions. Thermal performance comes from a variety of factors like the ...
When Noctua released the NH-D14 back in 2009, it quickly became a standard in the CPU cooling world. It rightfully claimed the title of KING of air cooling for the longest time by providing top level performance, and even bested some closed-loop liquid co...

In the end, I was pleased with the NH-D15 CPU cooler. Even though I have not personally used a NH-D14, I have seen them in action and I feel that the NH-D15 exceeds the NH-D14. Noctua is the standard of CPU coolers and people enjoy what they have to offer...
