The Noctua NH-D15 is not for sale yet in North America, but Noctua has informed us that its suggested retail price will be $100. It's a big number and one that hits a mental roadblock as well. The Cryorig R1 performs slightly better and at $90 is still ex...
Abstract: About five years ago the Austrian firm Noctua released its super-cooler NH-D14. It turned out to be extremely good and took a leading position among the best of CPU coolers. Even today, periodically acquiring new fastening mechanisms to support the latest...
The Noctua NH-D15 is the rare successor to a popular product that actually improves over every aspect of the original. It's only a slightly better cooler than the D14, but has superior acoustics even though Noctua's newer fan models aren't as smooth sound...
I do not think we have ever had to be negative about a Noctua product, and that ain't gonna happen with the NH-D15 either. It is a solid and high quality product that manages to cool at levels that remain best in class when we talk about air based heat-p...

The NH-D15 is a very important release, there is no questioning that, and as the successor to the NH-D14 a lot is expected. Noctua's approach to the changes makes a great deal of sense in many aspects, and should make most nod in agreement. While simply...
Great build design and quality, Low Noise Adapters included, design allows utlization of all RAM slots
Removal of fan to mount, fan placement extremely close to GPU slot
The NH-D15 is a remarkable air cooler that is capable of out-performing some AIO units while allowing for all RAM sockets to be used. It's another great addition to Noctua's NH cooling line....

Noctua NH-D15 is the new flagship of the manufacturer. It outperforms the NH-D14, but is it a little more expensive. Building your own fan profile is the best way to get the best performance and the perfect silence from you cooler. PROsCONs - best coolin...

Abstract: Weighing 1,320 grams with both fans installed, Noctua's NH-D15 heatsink is big. It stands 162mm tall and has a footprint of 151x161mm so prospective buyers will want to measure their case clearances first. It's six heat pipes are soldered to the nicke...
