Noctua NH-D15 G2, Dual Tower CPU Cooler, Standard All-Round Version Recommended for AMD AM5 and Intel LGA1851 / LGA1700 (Brown)

I was skeptical about buying this, from the reviews it offered very high cost to thermal performance. I briefly considered getting a liquid aio now that they have caught up to air coolers in cooling and noise performance, but went with this for the better reliability. I am so glad that I did.I had a g1 nh-d15 on my 14900k that performed adequately, but was much louder than I would have liked.This thing is almost dead silent even running 6 game clients - I have to move my ear to within about 1.5 feet of the top of my case to hear it. I can feel in the temperature of the room it is remove more heat from the CPU.The kit was the best kit I've ever been shipped, they gave a proper torx screw driver, clear instructions, the individual components are separated into different bags that contain only the components from each step of the instructions (instead of one big bag). Noctua absolutely hit it out of the park with this

This CPU cooler works great. It's huge. Go on the Noctua site and look at the compatibility charts to make sure it will fit your PC case, motherboard, and for RAM clarence. I have a MSI MPG B650 Edge motherboard. CPU is AMD Ryzen 5 7600X. RAM Corsair Dominator Titanium. The only issue I had was with the RAM. It sits tall. I had to remove the RGB top bars so the front fan would fit. With the bars left on the fan stuck out of the PC case. Performance is very good. It's not too loud and it keeps CPU at 38 degrees on idle. It averages 65-70 degrees on a load. My old liquid cooler was 60 on idle and 85 on load. Huge difference. I'm waiting for Croma Black G2 fans. But the brown is growing on me. I made the RGB as brown as I could so it would match a little. I recommend this cooler as long as you can squeeze it in your case.

Very quiet, premium feel, good clearances for how big it is, and keeps my 9800x3d cool. Also being Noctua you know it's going to be long lasting. It's nice knowing that Noctua will supply future mounting hardware as needed, that's why I went with the All Rounder. Out of the box it has hardware for Intel and AMD (offset mount for Amd). If you can afford it I recommend it.

Seems like noctua does a great job.

I'm not a fan of the stock colors, I can't wait till sometime in Q2 when they release the black PP fans for this cooler, but I knew that when I got it and while the fans aren't my color choice, they work and they're quiet!

I originally purchased this to try out air cooling for the first time in many years and was shocked to find that this G2 D15 actually outperforms my hydroshift 360TL when noise normalized cooling a 7950x3D. I don’t know how Noctua is able to make such quite operation perform so well but it’s seriously impressive. To be fair, I think my AIO is a dud because it’s much louder than expected based on other reviews. That being said, I can’t discount the results since issues like what I have with my AIO is a selling point for air coolers. On top of performance, obviously it’s Noctua and the quality is top tier, but I was also surprised that the cooler comes with literally everything you need. From thermal paste to degreaser wipes and even the proper screwdriver for installation. All in all, I was very impressed from the unboxing to install and beyond. Great job as always, Noctua

Similar to the original, the cooler is huge. While you can adjust the outer fan according to your ram height, the higher you move it, the higher likelihood it will conflict with the outer case door being able to close. Unless you have a case that has extraordinary width, you NEED low profile ram (should be around 33mm), aka the non-rgb ram. Excellent cooler, absurdly quiet. Handles 13900ks quite nicely, granted I'm not overclocking anything beyond recommended settings (stability > performance)

very quiet, keep my 9800x3d cool,safer that water cooling
