Description
Based on the award-winning NH-D14
With more than 350 recommendations and awards from leading international hardware websites and magazines, the NH-D14 is one of the most successful premium coolers of all time. The NH-D15 achieves a further improved silent cooling performance compared to the NH-D14 thanks to the wider fan arrangement of the heatpipes as well as the two NF-A15 fans.
Dual-tower design with 6 heat pipes
Compared to conventional single-tower coolers, the consistently further optimized dual-tower design of the NH-D15 offers more cooling surface, better heat distribution and superior airflow efficiency in double fan operation.
Widened cooling fins and extended heat pipe arrangement
Compared to the NH-D14, the width of the cooling fins has been extended from 140 to 150mm and the distance between the heatpipes has been increased. The improved heat distribution achieved by these measures over a larger surface contributes significantly to the superior efficiency of the NH-D15.
Excellent RAM compatibility in single fan operation
Thanks to the retracted lower cooling fins, the NH-D15 offers space for high memory modules in single fan mode 62mm – most current high-end modules can thus be used without any problem. In double fan operation, the NH-D15 should be used with RAM in standard height (up to 32mm).
NF-A15 140mm dual fan
The NH-D15 comes with two NF-A15 140mm Premium fans designed to Noctuas AAO standard. With advanced aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A15 has quickly established itself as one of the best 140mm fans on the market.
PWM support and low-noise adapter
The NF-A15 140mm fans of the NH-D15 support PWM for convenient, fully automatic speed control via the mainboard. In addition, the supplied low-noise adapter can reduce the maximum speed from 1500 to 1200rpm, in order to enable even quieter operation.
Excellent component cooling
The large-format NF-A15 fans, which protrude beyond the cooling fins on the underside, not only contribute to the excellent CPU cooling performance of the NH-D15, but also generate a powerful air flow over motherboard components or heat sinks close to the base and thus enable an excellent component cooling at the same time.
SecuFirm2™ Mounting system
Noctuas SecuFirm2™ assembly systems have become synonymous with quality, reliability and user-friendliness. The SecuFirm2™ system of the NH-D15 supports Intel LGA115x (LGA1150, LGA1155, LGA1156), LGA2011, LGA2066 and AMD (AM4 (since 2019), AM3(+), AM2(+), FM1, FM2(+)) and offers perfect contact pressure and maximum assembly comfort on all current sockets.
Compatibility with older and future sockets
The NH-D15 complies with the SecuFirm™ open standard and can be made compatible with the optional NOCTUA FREE NM-I3 mounting kit to the older LGA1366 and LGA775 sockets. As far as technically possible, Noctua will also offer upgrade kits for future socket sets.
NT-H1 thermal compound
Noctua's renowned NT-H1 is a professional TIM solution that offers minimal thermal resistance, excellent ease of use and excellent durability, making it particularly suitable for use in server and workstation applications.
