NoctuaNH-D15S chromax.Black, Premium Dual-Tower CPU Cooler with NF-A15 PWM 140mm Fan (Black)

This is the third of these cpu coolers I have purchased (still using the other 2) , though the other two are silver in color.If you have room in your case, this is a fantastic solution for cooling a powerful cpu.I have made the mistake of trying another cooling solution twice and need to stick with these noctua's -- once was an AIO (pump failed 3x; twice warranty and 3rd just outside) and once I went for a full custom water loop (EKWB used differing metals for their plugs and other components in the same product line, which corroded and was more hassle than it was worth).If you are looking for a no frills, gets it done, reasonably quiet for the performance cpu cooler and have the room, look no further.Plus Noctua sends updated mounting brackets (for free!) when new cpu models are released. Can't ask for more.For what it is worth, the 3 cpus these are cooling are:Intel 4790kAMD 7600xAMD 7950x3dYes, I would buy again, yes I recommend it, and yes it is the most reliable cooling solution :)

This is a great cooler. It is quiet, well built, and more than adequate for almost all CPU's. I have bought it for I9-9990K, Core Ultra 9 285K, and Ryzen 5 7600 builds. Never fails! Always chill! Don't worry that it will not fit in your case. It may be big but its asymmetric, offset construction will allow it to work well in all full-tower and most mid-tower cases. Also, don't worry that it has only one fan. You don't need its optional second fan. I will buy this cooler or its successor(s) for all future builds.

The title says it all, with the caveat that your case needs adequate airflow. High compatibility model of the best cooler on the market.

Installed this with an LGA 1700 contact frame and get idle temps @ 29 degrees C. Gaming, temps get up to the mid 60's. Cooler than my older I-7 runs with a smaller cooler. Easy install and great cooling. 140mm fan moves a lot of air. I installed into a Lian Li Lancool III with stock fans. Did not want a liquid cooler in my work computer. Turns out I don't need one thanks to Noctua.

I used Noctua coolers for last 20 years, but I realize that its not for everyone anymore. Water coolers (AIO) offer better cooling and less noise-per-same-temperature today and you can find coolers with similar thermal performance for half of the price. My 9800x3d easily hits 90C under thermal stress apps with this cooler and its far from being the hottest CPU on a market.However if you don't want water cooling (like me) and you want the very best manufacturing quality, Noctua still delivers it. Mirror-like finish of cooler base (also comes in 2 options optimized for AMD / Intel), excellent mounting system that is easy to use and includes small optimizations for AM5 socket, anything you want from a premium product. This is a device that I can rely to be working for next 10 years without maintenance and still be as quiet as new and that's why I paid for it.
