Dual-tower cooler for high-end CPUs

The Noctua NH-D15 is a premium air cooler with a six-heatpipe dual-tower design and two NF-A15 140mm PWM fans. It supports Intel LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA115x and AMD AM5, AM4 sockets. The package includes NT-H1 thermal compound, a SecuFirm2 mounting kit, low-noise adaptors and a Y-cable for fan control. Maximum cooler height is 165mm.

Overclockers and silent-system builders

This cooler suits users who want class-leading thermal performance for overclocking or near-silent operation at 19.20 dB(A) with the low-noise adaptors. Builders with cases limited to less than 165mm CPU cooler clearance cannot install it. Users needing liquid cooling aesthetics or extreme compact form factors should look elsewhere.

250W+ TDP headroom with RAM clearance

The widened 150mm fin stack and expanded heatpipe layout comfortably handle high heat loads from processors such as Core Ultra 285K, 265K, 245K and Ryzen 9950X, 9900X, 9700X, 9600X. In single-fan mode the recessed lower fins provide 64mm clearance for tall memory modules. Dual-fan mode reduces RAM clearance but maximises airflow to 82.52 CFM.

Questions about this item

Will the 165 mm tall NH-D15 fit inside my case?

Measure the side-panel clearance; this cooler reaches 165 mm in height, so the case must allow at least that much space above the motherboard.

Can I keep my existing RAM sticks with tall heatsinks?

In single-fan mode the lower fins are recessed, giving 64 mm of RAM clearance, which covers most high-end modules.

How do I verify the fans are running at the correct speeds after installation?

The NF-A15 fans spin at 1500 RPM without the Low-Noise Adaptor and 1200 RPM with it; check PWM readings in BIOS or monitoring software to confirm.
