Noctua NH-D15S, Premium Dual-Tower CPU Cooler with NF-A15 PWM 140mm Fan (Brown)

Product Information

Going forward, it will, as such, be interesting to see how the lack of a second fan affects performance. The NH-D15s is based on the Noctua’s flagship CPU air cooler NH-D15S recognized as the best CPU air cooler by many professional PC builders and enthusiasts. Having forged their reputation on amazing performance, exceptional quality, and ultra-low noise levels, Noctua stands out as a premier manufacturer of PC-cooling products. With the D15S, Noctua presents an asymmetrical shape to improve compatibility with high RAM modules and large graphics cards.

The proven SecuFirm2 mounting systemThe reliable screw connection of the cooler to the mounting plate on the back of the mainboard guarantees optimal contact pressure and maximum security on the Intel sockets 115X, 1200, 1366, 2011 (-V3), 2066 and the AMD sockets AM5, AM4, AM3 ( +), AM2 (+), FM1, FM2 and FM2 +. Thanks to its asymmetrical design, the NH-D15S clears the top PCIe slot on most µATX and ATX motherboards.Only concern i have if his v card don't have a backplate or at least his mobo has a vme slot above the top PCI-e slot. They mention that it keeps the temps low, performs exceptionally well under load, and is a superb cooler. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

The Noctua NH-D15S gave us a lot of impressive points that points it out as one of the best CPU air cooler today. You also get a low noise adapter cable, which I didn't use, as well as a spare set of fan clips, in case you wish to add a second fan later on. Please also keep in mind that other components such as narrow or small cases as well as memory modules with special (higher) heat-spreaders can cause compatibility-issues.

because they take up less space but most of the time, they perform worse than a high end air cooler. Therefore, Noctua cannot accept any liability, nor in any other way be held responsible, for the following compatibility information. Looking at the chart above, we can see that the NH-D15S with one and two fans perform similarly the same and provide excellent idle temperatures.
