Overview Pros & Cons Reviews Similar To Price: $99 The Noctua NH-D15 CPU Air Cooler which is based on the NH-D14 Cooler comes with 2 massive aluminum heatsink towers, 6 copper heatpipes per A month old, but completed my first PC build with 13600k and using a NH-D15s. I also have 2x noctua 140mm intake fans + noctua 1x 120mm exhaust fan + 1x Corsair basic 120mm top exhaust fan. Stock form I hit high 92-95c using cinebench as my “stress test” benchmark. From here I learned about putting a power limit on the CPU through the bios. Noctua NH-D15 + Case Fans Help. Hello! I have a TD500 Mesh case. I am using a 10900K with Z490 E Gaming motherboard and 3080 FE GPU. RAM is Vengeance LPX. The TD500 Mesh case comes with 3 front fans pre installed. I will be using the NH-D15 for CPU air cooler. You can say that about many of their competitors, and at lower price points. Might have been more true a decade ago, but Noctua stagnated while others closed the gap (and in some cases, eclipsed Noctua) in some of their traditional strong points such as mounting hardware. 5.

And I've seen this board with all of the big air coolers on it at various times. The are no indicated memory interference issues listed as there are with some other motherboard models. The 15s is better for board compatibility, but only has one fan, IIRC, performance is effectively identical when both have the same fans. 6. chr0me28 • 3 yr. ago. iirc it is only a 1-2c difference with/without second fan. I have the NH-D15 and my temps idles at 30c and maxes out at 72c under load. SmoothWD40 • 3 yr. ago. Well NH-D15 is the best air cooler on the market rn. Beating 360mm AIO's. The stock cooler is pretty good and it also has RGB if you fancy it, but if you want really quiet cooler for reasonable price then Scythe Mugen 5 - its also not too much behind NH-D15. Noctua NH-D15 too large and too heavy? I had to remove the second fan because the Ram was too tall, the fan was getting squashed by the tempered glass. I’m also worried that this cooler is too heavy, I have an MSI MEG x570 Unify but in the long term it might bend it. Should I just return this cooler and get an AIO, or a smaller cooler? 37dZd.
