Noctua NH-D15S, Premium Dual-Tower Processorkoeler met NF-A15 PWM 140mm Ventilator (Bruin)

I bought this for my LGA1700 build and no bracket for the LGA1700 included.So giving it 1 star as i cannot use it So buyes dont buy this item if you have LGA 1700

Ich habe meinen AMD FX-6300 auf 4200 MHz übertaktet.Der verbaute 90mm Cooler Master Lüfter ( Der orginale Arctic Lüfter lieferte nach 2 Jahren Dauerbetrieb kein Tachosignal mehr) auf einem ARCTIC Freezer 13 CO lief unter Volllast mit 2800 - 2900 Umdrehungen und hatte auserdem beim starten des PC Anlaufschwierigkeiten.Zwar brachte diese Kombination im AIDA64 Stresstest noch akzeptable CPU Temperaturen zustande, aber das war schon eine unangenehm laute Angelegenheit.So entschloss ich mich Nägel mit Köpfen zu machen und entschied mich zum Kauf des Verbaut wurde er auf einem Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 rev. 3.0 mit AMD FX-6300 OC auf 4200 MHz bei 1,26V.Gehäuse ist ein Antec Three Hundred mit 2 Lüftern. 1x NF-A14 oben, über das Mainbord gesteuert und den 3 stufig manuel regelbaren 12 cm orginal Lüfter an der Rückseite.Die Montage empfand ich als sehr einfach, da die orginal Backplat des Mainboards weiterverwendet wird und nur die beiden Kunstoffteile der Kühlerhalterung gegen 2 Montagebrücken mit Abstandshalter getauscht werden müssen.Zudem ist für jeden Sockeltyp eine gute Anleitung beigelegt.Weder zur Grafikkarte noch bei den Speichermodulen gibt es Platzprobleme.Unter Volllast bleibt nun die CPU erstaunlich kühl.Dabei hört man nur ein leises Säuseln.Wenn man bedenkt das der Lüfter bis zu 1500 U/min kann und jetzt nur selten 900 U/min erreicht ist noch viel Reserve vorhanden.Auserdem kann man jederzeit, dank der zusätzlich mitgelieferten Klammern, einen 2 Lüfter anbauen.Positiv:Gute VerarbeitungViel Zubehör wie Low-Noise Adapter, Lüfterklammern für zweiten Lüfter, gute Wärmeleitpaste, bebilderte Einbauanleitungen für versch. Sockeltypen.Super Kühlleistung.6 Jahre Garantie.Negativ:Ich kann leider nichts negatives berichten, außer vielleicht der relativ hohe Preis.Auf dem Screenshot ist gut zu erkennen das der Kühler mit meinem System leichtes Spiel hat.Trotz 4,2 GHz Takt und Volllast unter Boinc auf allen 6 Kernen.Erst wenn zusätzlich die Sapphire Radeon HD7870 XT Boost Grafikkarte, übertaktet auf 1025 MHz, Vollast fährt, steigt die CPU Temperatur auf um die 40° an.Im Sommer kann dann der Kühler zeigen was er kann. Dann herrschen hier im PC Zimmer gerne mal 30-32°, jetzt nur um die 20°.

I have a 13700k, which as you know, can be a pain to keep cool. After having a liquid cooler fail on me, I decided to switch to air cooler only, and this has not disappointed me. I have had this in my computer for 3 years now without any issue what so ever. I even bought a second one for my wife's computer. It cools well, is reliable, and has a good price.

Esperienza concreta...Inizialmente avevo preso un ed ho pensato che l'overclock su un 6800K fosse solo un miraggio se non con un dissipatore a liquido (che non volevo prendere per motivi di costo e rumore della pompa e ventole).Poi ho provato questo Noctua NH-D15S e devo dire solo WOW! La qualità costruttiva rispetto all'Enermax è nettamente superiore e le performance migliori sotto ogni punto di vista:- dai 12° ai 18° C in meno sotto stress- livelli rumore inferiore anche sotto carico (più piacevole quasi rumore bianco con una nota più bassa e non fastidiosa) ed assenza di strane vibrazioni- materiali eccellenti e montaggio super facile anche per neofiti- pasta termica inclusa di buona qualità- la velicità minima di rotazione davvero bassa, rumore praticamente impercettibile e quando sale sui 600-700 giri/min diventa udibile ma più che sopportabile anche tenedo il case sulla scrivania a 40 cm dall'orecchio- anche la temperatura della vram è diminuita (che sulla x99 Asus strix arriva quasi ai 60° ! )La ciliegina sulla torta è il badge adesivo inclusa nella confezione, si mi sono entusiasmato per un banale badge... la cosa sorprendente è che colpisce la sua fattura, è massiccio, ha un certo peso, smalto di qualità e molto accativante nel design... forse sarà la prima volta che userò un "sticker" perchè è davvero cool. Ovviamente se il dissipatore non fosse pura eccellenza non ci avrei fatto caso.Non credo che per gli i5 o i7 quad core valga la pena spendere 80 euro per un dissipatore, ma per un 6 core 6800K è sicuramente un acquisto che vi renderà felici.Anche il vostro viaggio alla ricerca del "dissipatore perduto" può fermarsi qua. Lo avete trovato.grazie

The mounting bars do not fit the AMD4 motherboard for X570.I have attached the pic which shows the mounting bars with the back plate of the motherboard. The mounting Bars part number is NM AMB1.This is very frustrating as I am in the middle of the build and now I am stuck and cannot proceed until I get the correct part.Not expected this from Noctua.

This is an absolutely awesome cooler!.I was running a stock AMD cooler (with ageing quad core FX cpu) and regularly experienced idling temps of 45C. Heavy load would take it up above 60 and it sounded like a jet engine!Make no mistake, this cooler is HUGE taking up most of the space between the top of the motherboard (micro-ATX) and the graphics card.However in terms of height, it fits easily into my case (which is 210mm width) and there is still loads of room for RAM with even the tallest of heat spreaders.Fitting is a doddle and for AMD at least, makes use of the standard back bracket (which I didn't have to access) which it screws right into courtesy of a couple of adapter brackets. Bear in mind that you have to remove the cooler fan to attach the cooler to your mobo, but it really is no hassle to do so with a couple of quick release clips.So, a quick application of the supplied thermal paste, line up the cooler with the 2 adapter screws and tighten with the screwdriver provided. Re-attach the cooler fan and plug into the mobo and you're finished.The trickiest part of the whole process was actually removing the stock cooler from the CPU as it was practically welded to it with thermal paste . . .few scary moments but thankfully no harm done!.I have to admit I was sceptical as to how much difference in temp it would make and got it more for the promise of noise reduction, but I was amazed on firing up and opening the HW monitor that the first temp posted was 13C!!! - it actually went down to 5C before stabilising at around 19C . . .and this all in an old style case (PSU at the top) and only ONE rear case fan!Time to test it under load so I used a program called IntelBurntest (I know!) and ran the CPU at full load over a series of 10 short 1 min tests . . . Max temp achieved was 43C - amazing! I then tested it with Battlefield 1 (which made my previous cooler scream) and it got up to 41C before quickly cooling back down to 29C within seconds.The CPU is now happily sitting at 24C with minimal load. . .only a few degrees above ambient temperature.I can't recommend this cooler enough . . . yes it is pricey, yes it is HUGE, but you get what you pay for (and it is beautifully engineered and happens to look pretty good too). Having toyed with the idea of an AIO liquid cooler, I am so glad I opted for this instead . . .the near silence is priceless for me and no chance of leaks or fried motherboard/components! I can easily see me taking this cooler with me when the time for the inevitable system upgrade comes.To top it this cooler arrived promptly and within 1hr of delivery I had it fitted and up and running.
