The Noctua NH-D15S is a very efficient cooler. As for finding one to buy
I have only seen one and that was on Amazon sold by Noctua for a price of 99.75 USD. The price point is high but you do receiv

Just like the change from the NH-D14 to the NH-D15 seemed minor physically, closer inspection and testing revealed bigger changes than what can be observed by merely unboxing. It feels like Deja Vu with the NH-D15S but the improvements are surprisingly ev...
Testing will be conducted with an AMD FX 8320 on an ASUS M5A99FX motherboard at Turbo mode speed of 4.0 GHz. Each cooler will be tested by turning on the system, waiting one hour for the temperatures to stabilize. Once stabilized, temperature readings wil...

The brand new NH-D15S is basically a slightly modified NH-D15 (for use in small PC cases) without a second NF-A15 fan so our results were not unexpected in any way. Actually i did expect worse results but it seems that the “tweaks” Noctua place...

The NH-D15S is at least as good as its predecessor, the NH-D15. It accomplishes Noctua's main aims of making more room for a 1 st -slot card, bringing down the cost of the cooler, and making this heatsink truly compatible with tall RAM. Noctua says tha...

Starting out with installation this is one of the easiest coolers I have installed recently. Noctua has really been a pioneer in easy installation for large CPU coolers and the NH-D15S is no exception to that. They also include a screwdriver, something wh...
So, we said at the beginning that we were going to choose a winner, and indeed we are. In our last CPU cooler roundup, we named the 120mm-based Noctua NH-U12S a top contender due to its quality and performance. This time it wasn't even a close call. For t...
All in all, the new and improved Noctua coolers were a nice entry into the already crowded CPU cooling market. Their more friendly price and smaller sizes may induce users to pick up one of these outstanding coolers. Backed by the six year Noctua warranty...

Noctua NH-D15S doesn't make any difference in cooling performance compared to its non-identical twin-ish unit NH-D15. Its good in a way since it would be tempting for certain users to consider this as a purchase option even with their existing setups wher...
