Noctua NH-D15 Dual Radiator Quiet CPU Cooler with two NH-A15 Fans Built on the basis of the legendary NH-D14 & carrying on its quest for ultimate quiet cooling performance, Noctua's flagship model NH-D15 is an elite-class dual tower cooler for the highest demands. Its expanded heatpipe layout & two premium grade NF-A15 140mm fans with PWM support for automatic speed control allow it to further improve the NH-D14's award-winning efficiency. Topped off with the trusted, pro-grade Secu Firm 2 multi-socket mounting system, Noctua's proven NT-H1 thermal compound & full six years manufacturer's warranty, the NH-D15 forms a complete premium quality solution that represents a deluxe choice for overclockers & silent-enthusiasts alike. Based on the award-winning NH-D14 Noctua's NH-D14 has received more than 350 awards & recommendations from leading international hardware websites & magazines, making it one of the most successful premium heatsinks ever built. With its expanded layout & dual NF-A15 fans, the NH-D15 further improves the D14's much acclaimed quiet cooling performance. Six heatpipe dual tower design As compared to conventional single tower heatsinks, the NH-D15's fine-tuned six heatpipe dual tower design provides more surface area, better heat-distribution & superior airflow efficiency in dual fan mode. Widened fin stack & expanded heatpipe layout Compared to the NH-D14, the NH-D15's fin-stack has been widened from 140 to 150mm & its heatpipes are now spaced further apart, which allows for a more uniform heat distribution over a larger surface area & thus contributes to the NH-D15's superior efficiency. High RAM compatibility in single fan mode Thanks to its recessed lower fins, the NH-D15 provides 64mm clearance for tall memory heatsinks in single fan mode, making it compatible with most high end RAM modules on the market. In dual fan mode, the NH-D15 should be used with standard height RAM (up to 32mm). Please note: In chassis with more than 165mm CPU cooler clearance, the front fan can be moved upwards to make room for memory modules taller than 32mm. Dual NF-A15 140mm fans The NH-D15 features two of Noctua's premium class NF-A15 140mm fans. Complying with Noctua's AAO standard & featuring sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A15 has quickly built up a reputation as one of the best 140mm fans on the market. PWM support & Low-Noise Adaptor The NF-A15 premium fans supplied with the NH-D15 support PWM for convenient automatic speed control through the mainboard. In addition, the maximum fan speed can be reduced from 1500 to 1200rpm using the supplied Low-Noise Adaptor for even quieter operation. Excellent component cooling Extending below the fin-stacks, the large NF-A15 fans not only contribute to the NH-D15's superb CPU cooling capabilities but also provide massive airflow over surrounding motherboard components & heatsinks, thus ensuring excellent component cooling performance. Secu Firm 2 mounting system Noctua's Secu Firm 2 mounting systems have become synonymous with quality, safety & ease of use. Supporting Intel LGA115x (LGA1150, LGA1155, LGA1156), LGA2011 & AMD (AM3 (+), AM2 (+), FM1, FM2 (+)), the Secu Firm 2 mounting included with the NH-D15 guarantees perfect contact pressure & maximum convenience on all current sockets. Compatibility with past & future sockets Complying with the open Secu Firm standard, the NH-D15 can be made compatible with the older LGA1366 & LGA775 sockets using the optional NM-I3 mounting kit, which is provided by Noctua free of charge. If technically possible, Noctua will also provide upgrade kits for future sockets.
