Noctua Cooling Solutions
Noctua's premium cooling components are internationally renowned for their superb quietness, exceptional performance and quality.
Product Description
Tailored to provide superior RAM and PCIe compatibility, the NH-D15S is an asymmetrical single fan version of Noctua’s renowned flagship model, the NH-D15. Thanks to its asymmetrical design, the NH-D15S clears the top PCIe slot on most µATX and ATX motherboards. At the same time, the single fan setup and recessed lower fins ensures 100% RAM compatibility with memory modules of up to 65mm height. Users who have sufficient room can also upgrade the cooler with either a 120mm or round 140mm fan on the front fin stack for further improved performance in dual fan mode. Topped off with the trusted, pro-grade SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-D15S forms a complete premium quality solution that combines dual tower efficiency with excellent compatibility and flexible upgrade options.

High-compatibility version of NH-D15Compared to the award-winning NH-D15, the S-version uses an off-set, asymmetrical layout and a single instead of dual NF-A15 fans. This allows the NH-D15S to provide state-of-the-art heatsink performance while maintaining superior RAM and PCIe compatibility. |
Asymmetrical layout for better PCIe compatibilityAs many current motherboards have the top PCIe x16 slot sitting close to the socket, bigger heatsinks tend to block it. Due to its asymmetrical layout, the fin-stack of the NH-D15S is off-set towards the upper edge of the motherboard when installed in standard orientation. This allows it to clear the top PCIe x16 slot on most current µATX and ATX motherboards. |
Excellent RAM compatibilityThanks to its recessed lower fins, the NH-D15S provides 66mm clearance for tall memory heatsinks, making it compatible with most high end modules on the market. As the lower fins are recessed on both sides of the heatsink, compatibility is excellent on both Intel and AMD sockets. |
NT-H1 thermal compoundHaving received more than 100 awards and recommendations from hardware journalists around the world, Noctua's NT-H1 is a proven professional grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability. |

Pros:
- Packaging and design is perfect, everything is super intentional, thought out and easy to put together even for a novice pc enthusiast.
- Performance is spectacular and easily the most silent cooler I have used yet. By far one of its most attractive features!
- PRICE! PRICE! PRICE! What a bargain! After using liquid coolers for so long I am really impressed with how far air coolers have come as well! Although liquid cooling is cool and has it's perks, the elegance and price to performance of this cooler is killer and well worth the try imo.
- Super reputable brand well known in the pc community and the quality shows in their work! In terms of look, feel and overall opinion, I am very satisfied with product quality!
Cons:
- I have very little to complain about with this piece of hardware if anything at all.
- The only thing I would worry about is making sure this fits your case as it is a beefy cooler. Mine sits with just enough clearance on each side and can clear my ram just fine (Corsair Vengence DDR4). Be sure to check case specifications before making your decision!
Summary:
I do have some words of advice for anyone who purchases this as an upgrade to their current system. If you do happen to get this cooler, I would highly recommend installing this outside your pc as it can be a tight spot from within your system. Although I managed to make do without uninstalling the motherboard, it can be a bit tricky installing the cooler fan once it's sandwiched between the top of your case and graphics card. Other than that, this IMHO is one the greatest CPU coolers I have come across and when I was making the decision to purchase one, the only other one I was considering was a bigger Noctua cooler that I couldn't fit in my case lol! But that being said, do your research and find what's right for you. If you're looking for something affordable, quiet and minimalistic this is definitely a powerful option. Obviously, it may not be the most attractive thing, but its performance definitely holds up to that of an AIO and is worth considering when deciding which route to take with CPU cooling.
For me it hits all the check points with quality, price and overall feel, making me feel safe knowing my 3800X is in good hands (:

I decided to test the CPU overclocking at 4.5 GHZ, at 1.31 Volts CPU, and I had my 16 Gb of Corsair Platinum memory at 3200. I ran the AIDA64 stress test, (I think Prime small FFT is too brutal) and I came out with temperatures averaging in the high 60s, (Centigrade) with an occasional individual core spike to 80 degrees. I ran the test for about an hour, surfed the Internet at the same time, and in a closed Case at around 22 degrees Centigrade ambient temperature. This result is about 6 or 7 degrees cooler (better) than the NH-C14S, and I found that I was using a lot less Watts of power, (AIDA64 reading), despite the same input voltage and CPU frequency. My system was stable, with no crashes or bluescreens. It would seem that there is more headroom to take the overclock up further, but that will be for another day. In short, I do not think you can get a better air cooler period. This kind of performance exceeds a lot of AIO Water systems, and I have no leaks, loud fans, or bad noisy pumps to deal with. Only "custom" water cooling is going to take you much further.
As different CPUs have different thermal characteristics, (Skylake, Broadwell-E, etc.) your own results may vary. This was excellent for Haswell-E. There are also a great many other professional reviews on-line that will attest to this cooler's capabilities.
Due to the size and cost of this particular cooler, while it is quite excellent, it is massive overkill if you are not overclocking your CPU. If you are not overclocking, get the Cooler Master 212 Evo or even the Noctua NH-U12S.
Last but not least, as we have such great engineering in this cooler's mounting system being so easy and straightforward, and we have such wonderful cooling capabilities, how is it that we are stuck with mounting the fans on with spring wire clips? Really? There is something to be said for effective simplicity and light weight, but I think Noctua can do better. Getting the fan mounted with the clips in between the two cooling towers was kind of a pain, and it resulted in some frustration and some bent fins. Oh, the fins got bent back, and the fan was attached, but the clips were almost sent to the trashcan. Noctua needs to come up with something better. Also, I changed out the Noctua fan for a Phanteks 140mm CPU Cooler fan (PH-F140HP_BK2) that fit perfectly, and looks absolutely killer. The Noctua fan is great, but it looks awful. The Phanteks fan performs as well, and it looks like it was made for the heatsink and for my particular rig, in porcelain white frame and matte black fan. Man, does it look good.
For sheer performance, this CPU Cooling Monster gets 5 Stars, but there is room for improvement. The competition is not standing still. I hope Noctua is not standing still.
