Product Description

NH-D15 chromax.black Header

The NH-D15 chromax.black is an all-black version of Noctua’s award-winning flagship model NH-D15 premium-quality quiet CPU cooler. Thanks to the same proven dual-tower heatsink design and NF-A15 PWM fans, it stays true to the NH-D15’s successful formula of rivalling the performance of all-in-one water coolers while maintaining superb quietness of operation. At the same time, the chromax.black version with its black fans and black coated heatsink combines these assets with a sleek stealth look. Topped off with the renowned SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua’s enthusiast-grade NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-D15 chromax.black is a deluxe choice for both overclockers and silent enthusiasts who seek an elite-class heatsink that looks just as great as it cools.

NH-D15 chromax.black

6 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 and superior airflow efficiency in dual-fan mode.

NF-A15 chromax.black

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 and 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.

ram

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).

*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.

d15

Colour-customisable

Using the optional NA-HC3 and NA-HC4 heatsink covers as well as the NA-SAVP3 anti-vibration pads (available in black, blue, green, red, yellow, white), the NH-D15 chromax.black can be fully customised to fit popular build colour schemes such as black and red or black and white.

    The Best CPU Cooler around hand down
    Just finished my first PC build and couldn't be happierBuild Sheet will also be a review (same review posted on each item for simplicityCase: NZXT H5 EliteThe case has a wonderful design that is elegant and sleek the air flow is amazing considering the size. This case comes with X2 140MM RGB DUO NZXT Fans and an RGB Controller, over all 5/5 zero issues. ( This was not purchased on Amazon but as an open box at Best Buy (saved 45 bucks)PSU: Cosair 750w modularHonestly not much to say Cosair makes great products and this fits that bill!! All the wires you could possibly need for a 750w system, definitely has great vaule and looks 5/5MOBO: GIGABYTE X670EIt can be difficult these days to find a white motherboard, but the X670E definitely fits the bill. The board looks great and the built in RGB next to the panel connectors is awesome. This board has 4 NVMe slots Which is great for heavy storage of either games or other files. The GPU Pcie slot is also reinforced to help reduce some of the bigger 40 graphics cards from sagging. Definitely would recommend 5/5CPU: AMD Ryzen 7700xOverall, a great CPU not really much to say it's a 16 thread 8 core CPU that pairs very well with the 4070 T.I.Super The AM5 design ensures that support for this specific CPU will be around for a while. Some people say the CPU gets hot on under load. I have yet to see any instances of that. 5/5GPU: Aero OC 4070 Ti Super (16GB)The look and design of this GPU fits my build exactly the way I wanted it to the little R. G. B sign that's on the front of the graphics card. It's a nice touch. This is the OC Addition, which is unlocked from factory to enable overclocking, but with the 16 GB of V.Ram that's on this graphics card with it being the T.I super. overclocking is not required for games Just quite yet, maybe in the future It will but that's what I bought this so I'm semi future proof. 5/5Ram: T Force RGB DDR5 6000mhz (32GB)Again, sort of like my CPU not really much to say here. The R GB is controllable through the gigabyte control app. Once you set up your p, c, so you could set any custom color and sort of wave pattern that you like. DDR 5 is definitely the way to go nowadays. With the increase speed that you can get on larger sets of Ram. These Ram sticks have a really nice. Metal shell casing on it, which also acts as a heat dissipator which is really great because these chips can get a little hotter at the higher speeds but overall no issues and the RGB looks great 5/5CPU Cooler: Noctua DH15Not much to say here.This is the best air cool.Ed around to market the rise in 7700X CPU Runs a little hotter than most other Amd Chipsets but this cooler has zero issues keeping it under control 5/5Secondary Display: WOWNOVA 5" Computer DisplayI was entirely impressed with the design look and feel of this 5 inches display .It comes preloaded with presets that you're able to customize to your liking and you can upload your own as well!!. This is a very nice aesthetic touch inside the computer and also allows you to keep track of whatever information you're looking to keep track of as where it comes to the system functions of your pcStorage: Samsung 970 Pro (500GB) (STRICTLY FOR OS)Storage: Samsung 980 Pro (2TB) Game StorageThis is pretty self-explanatory and the NVME storage or PC i.e. Gen. 5 storage is some of the best way to store games and run operating systems from .All other storage forms are a thing that have passed.This is going to get you the max performance when it comes to storing or running your OS bought at best buyFans that came with case: X2 140MM NZXT DUO RGB X1 120MM NZXT Toliet FanThese fans came with the NZXt H5 elite.I've had 0 issues with them.Their great fans That NZXT makes a great product to keep positive airflowFans Purchased : X4 120 MM NZXT DUO RGBI purchased all 4 of these on Amazon as open boxes as these specific fans are not in stock with NZXT currently, the open box was in very good shape and the fans have been functioning with 0 issues very impressed with the open box item I received this time. The RGB on these fans are absolutely amazing. One thing I will note though is NZXTs RGB controllers only control 3 fans per controller. So for every 3 fans that you have in your case, you will need an additional controller.TOTAL COST $2348Bench MarksMW3 Max settings Consistent 160 to 180 FPS @1440PSPIDER MAN REMASTERED/ God Of War Ultra/Max Settings Consistent 130 FPS@1440p

      My all-in-one cooler failed and I swapped it out with this and the results were absolutely amazing. I didn't even need two fans to keep my CPU at about 68C Max playing Hogwarts in 4K on my i7 8700K CPU. Idle is around 22C. I could put the second fan in but it would protrude and I couldn't get my front glass on with my particular case but luckily it's not needed with my usage. I guess if you're into overclocking and trying to squeeze every ounce out of the CPU you can use the other fan but for my use for 4K gaming it does great. I checked out a few different tests on line and there was about a 1C difference with 2 fans vs 1. And it's surprisingly quiet, especially for how much air the fan pushes. Most importantly, I don't have to worry about this thing failing like all in one coolers. After this experience to me there's just absolutely no reason in my mind to get an AIO cooler other than lights when this thing works so well. I gave up a little bling from the lights but I'm super happy with no more liquid cooler stress. I think it looks awesome. This thing is super high quality and worth every penny. Install was easy and instructions were clear and everything I needed was supplied. I highly recommend.

After this experience to me there's just absolutely no reason in my mind to get an AIO cooler other than lights when this thing works so well. I gave up a little bling from the lights but I'm super happy with no more liquid cooler stress. I think it looks awesome. This thing is super high quality and worth every penny. Install was easy and instructions were clear and everything I needed was supplied. I highly recommend.

      I built my machine about 3 months ago.. but noticed while the NH-9DL did a good job with the i7-9700K. If I wanted to overclock, it got a bit toasty and unstable. So I looked at a AIO, and after seeing LinusTechTips review of the D15 decided to go with it.

      A few things I wondered and soon found out:

      #1 - I have 64GB of ram and noticed the D15 was a bit large, but figured give it a try. As you can see it clears the Ram, BUT didn't clear the other heat spreader on the MB.. ( NOCTUA did say that the second fan may not fit.. )

      #2 - Although the other fan did not fit exactly where it needed it DID fit in the case about an 1" away from the fins.. and was a big improvement over the original case fan and was close to the intended location.

      #3 - If curious, YES the original motherboard mount for the NH-9D does work on the new fan so saved me that time and made install even easier.

      #4 - BONUS the 9D fan with the 15D springs FIT where the 15D Could Not !! So it was like having 3 fans on the cooler ;)

      #5 - ANOTHER BONUS - They give a number of extension cables for the Fans.. So I was able to mount the fans and get them all power.

      After doing all that.. I went and got to overclocking.. and stress testing.. I ran Cinebench R20, and custom set it to have 256 render threads to really stress the chip. I then ran them back to back to back until the chip wouldnt get any hotter.. ( an average of 6 times ).

      As you can see, the results speak for themselves.

      I went from :

      89 degrees C when stress testing it in Default settings...

      to

      64 degrees MAX when stress testing it WHILE IT WAS OVERCLOCKED !!

      I was MORE stable overclocked.. ! WOW and WOW and WOW.. Noctua hit it out of the park..

      As for how loud it is.. it is a LITTLE louder than just the 9D.. but I can't tell you exactly how much as its not a lot.

      UPDATE:

      I downloaded OCCT and ran its burnin test, and got to 75C after minutes of maxing everything. The amazing thing is anytime it got off the overclocking settings the CPU dropped back to 35C in a matter of seconds. So unless your both overclocked to 5.1MGZ AND using a LOT of hardcore video or 3D Graphic editing for hours, I think the D15 will keep your system supercool.

      I personally overclock for gaming, and I DO BIM and 3D Scanning, so I have to process GB size 3D Point clouds, and convert them to Mesh.. THAT does force my CPU to run 100% for a hour to process. BUT even then I never saw higher than 70 and was rock stable the whole time.

      So I guess what I am saying is custom water cooling MAY do a tad better, but HIGHLY doubt a AIO could do any better at all, and especially not at this cost point and if your upgrading from a Noctua 9 or 12 you can reuse the fans with all the extras that come in the kit here.

      First off, this cooler is a fantastic piece of equipment. You can tell the quality is top notch, from the fin design, to finish, to mounting bracket, to the CPU mounting surface.

      However, there a couple of "minor" issues:
      - Listed as 165mm of clearance required, but this doesn't count the front 140mm fan. Depending on your RAM height, you could easily need 180 to 200mm of total CPU cooler clearance to allow the extra fan to be mounted. I'm currently using this cooler in a Fractal Design Define C, so I'm running with only the middle fan
      - 140mm fan is not as quiet as I'd hoped considering Noctuas reputation. Once I go over a 60% duty cycle, you start to hear the fan motor/bearings pretty audibly. However, it is basically silent under 50% duty cycle.
      - The top of the fan just has a serial number on it, which isn't the most attractive thing. The Noctua label is on the side with the wire, which I wanted to face down so you don't see it.

      However, I still give the product 5 overall starts. I mean, it's one of the best coolers out there both in terms of performance and moutning system. I wish all Tower Coolers mounted this easily.

      Regarding temperatures, it keeps my Ryzen 3700X in the 70C to 78C range under extended Prime 95 load in a 24C room in the Fractal Design Define C case. This is with Noctura 120mm case fans. (2 front, 2 top, 1 rear) At it's stabilize maximums, along with a GTX 1070 running Furmark, it achieves this temperature range while all the fans being around a 60% duty cycle, never needing to kick into their 80C+ aggressive fan curve area. That being said, this case is configured for silence not maximum cooling, so other cases would likely do better.

      In normal day to day operation, it tends to hover the 40C to 60C area. Still getting used to tweaking the Ryzen 3000 settings, as it has aggressive voltage spikes and boosts by default, so I stabilized fan curves until it gets over 70C to prevent random rev ups. But I digress.

      Overall, this is a fantastic cooler and I would buy it again.

      You cant go wrong with one of these, not only does Noctua have excellent customer support if something goes wrong, they stand behind their products. This thing is BEAUTIFUL in my PC, i dont mind that its larger, in fact I think it adds a more unique/pleasant look than a normal AIO cooler would. Out performs any name brand liquid cooling and its quiet.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to install, keeps CPU very cool
      Reviewed in Canada on December 15, 2024

      I was surprised to see my CPU (12900K) at room temperature after power up, and it stayed there. On my other computer with the same CPU but a different cooler the CPU warms up even when not doing much but not with this one.

      The only way to install the cooler (properly) on my MSI Pro 790 Max Wi-Fi motherboard was blowing front to back, which is typical. My ASUS Pro-Art Z690 is the same way, although it has a slightly smaller cooler. With a bottom to top orientation the pipes get in the way of the memory DIMMs. Even so, the fan on the memory side sits on top of the A2 DIMM, although it does not force it to offset from the radiator by much. I have a decent size case (Fractal Meshify 2) and there is about 3/8" clearance to the left side of the case. If you are considering this fan make sure you have sufficient clearance. My DIMMs are RGB so maybe a bit higher than standard but they were the best Cyber Monday deal at the time.

      As there are two fans, I connected one to the CPU fan header and the other to the liquid cooler fan header. You can go into the BIOS and easily adjust the second one to the same settings as the CPU fan header on my motherboard, rather than the liquid cooler fan settings.

      The fan is big and heavy so would need to be removed if transporting the case anywhere. Having said that I would not be afraid to do a remove and replace with this fan (I've already done one) whether for transport or to redo the thermal grease from time to time. Just make sure you follow the instructions to take turns to tighten/loosen the screws a bit at a time to keep the tension balanced between the two.

      I'm not a gamer so I'm not pushing things to the limit, but so far I'm impressed with the quality and performance. Also I installed it upside-down which makes no difference except that the label is upside-down. Next time I remove it I will reinstall it right-side up, making sure I re-orient the fans, which should always be blowing through the radiator towards the back of the case.

      Reviewed in Mexico on November 30, 2021
      Style: CoolerVerified Purchase
      Se ve imponente dentro del gabinete, los materiales de construcción (desde que lo sacas de la caja) se notan muy premium. La temperaturas son increíblemente buenas para ser de aire, hice la prueba con mi i7-8700 que es bien calientito (sin delid ni nada extraño) y la máxima que alcanza es 67° con mucho estrés. Hice una prueba con todos los ventiladores totalmente apagados (de la CPU y la caja) y con el test de CPU-Z alcanza 98 grados después de casi 10 minutos.
      Los ventiladores apenas se escuchan, en funcionamiento normal se escucha mas el disco duro que tengo instalado que los fans.

      Pros:
      - Buenas temperaturas, incluso con ventiladores totalmente apagados.
      - La instalación del bloque de metal y sus anclajes es súper sencilla, el mas sencillo que he probado.
      - El nivel de ruido es ridículo, y los fans pueden girar muy despacio cuando no se necesiten.
      - La calidad, el empaque, y los accesorios incluidos.
      - Ya trae los anclajes para LGA-1700.

      Contras:
      - Los fans son un poco complicados de poner y quitar, ademas, si no eres cuidadoso puede quedar mas alto de un lado y verse mal.
      - Incluye una pasta NT-H1 de 3.5g, no es mala pero podría ser mejor, sugiero comprar una Kryonaut o una NT-H2.
      - Incluso con mis RAM Corsair LPX de 35mm el primer ventilador queda un poco "salido", lo cual no se ve muy estético que digamos.

      Conclusión: Recomendado, la mejor refrigeración por aire que he probado y mejor que muchas liquidas, pero sin sus complicaciones.

      Style: CoolerVerified Purchase
      Le Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black est un excellent ventirad CPU pour ceux qui cherchent à refroidir efficacement leur processeur. Avec ses deux grands ventilateurs de 140 mm et son design à double tour, il offre des performances de refroidissement impressionnantes, parfaites pour les configurations exigeantes ou pour l'overclocking.

      Le modèle chromax.black apporte une finition noire élégante qui s'intègre facilement dans des PC modernes. En plus d’être efficace, il est aussi très silencieux, ce qui est appréciable si vous voulez un ordinateur performant mais discret.

      Attention cependant, il est assez grand. Assurez-vous que votre boîtier a assez de place et que vos barrettes de RAM ne sont pas trop hautes. Côté prix, il est un peu cher pour un ventirad, mais la qualité Noctua et les performances en valent largement la peine. Si vous voulez du solide et du fiable, c’est un excellent choix !
