The NH-D15 might seem expensive, but for LGA2011 owners especially, it performs as well as all the top-end all-in-one liquid coolers out there so in cooling terms it justifies its price. Even on LGA1155, which is easier to tame, it's still extremely po...

The NH-D14 has stood the test of time and remained a prolific cooling solution for many years and so today has been very intriguing – not least to see how Noctua can improve on such a steadfast product. So how does this new flagship fare? We’re no str...
The NH-D15 is the best performing air cooler and blows most air coolers out of the water. We also observed that the cooler is almost inaudible outside the case. Although expensive as per air cooler standards, with an excellent build quality and a performa...
