Your cart is empty.The NH-D15S chromax.black is an all-black version of Noctua’s award-winning NH-D15S premium-quality quiet CPU cooler. Thanks to the same asymmetrical dual-tower heatsink design and single NF-A15 PWM fan, it stays true to the NH-D15S’s successful formula of fusing dual-tower performance with excellent RAM, case and PCIe compatibility. At the same time, the chromax.black version with its black fan and black coated heatsink combines these assets with a sleek stealth look. Topped off with the renowned SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system, Noctua’s enthusiast-grade NT-H1 thermal compound and a full 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, the NH-D15S chromax.black is a premium choice for customers who seek a highly compatible dual-tower heatsink that looks just as great as it cools.

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 :)

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

Dopo aver avuto un'ottima esperienza con un dissipatore Noctua in passato, ho deciso di affidarmi nuovamente a questo marchio per il mio nuovo setup e ho scelto il modello NH-D15S chromax.black. Cercavo un dissipatore ad aria performante e silenzioso per il mio nuovo processore e devo dire che questo modello ha superato le mie aspettative.Innanzitutto, l'imponenza del dissipatore è evidente fin dalla confezione. Le due torri di raffreddamento e la ventola NF-A15 cromax.black da 140mm fanno subito capire che si tratta di un prodotto di alta qualità.L'installazione è stata semplice e intuitiva, grazie al sistema di montaggio SecuFirm2, marchio di fabbrica di Noctua. Le istruzioni sono chiare e dettagliate e non ho avuto alcun problema a montare il dissipatore sulla mia scheda madre.Una volta acceso il PC, ho potuto apprezzare la silenziosità di questo dissipatore. La ventola NF-A15 è estremamente silenziosa, anche sotto carico intenso. Il mio PC è diventato molto più silenzioso rispetto a prima e posso finalmente concentrarmi sul lavoro o sul gioco senza essere disturbato dal rumore.Le prestazioni di raffreddamento sono eccezionali. Il mio processore è sempre rimasto a temperature molto basse, anche durante sessioni di gioco prolungate o rendering video. Il dissipatore è in grado di dissipare il calore in modo efficiente, mantenendo il processore fresco e performante.Devo dire che questo dissipatore è un degno successore del modello che avevo utilizzato in passato. Noctua ha saputo migliorare ulteriormente le prestazioni e la silenziosità dei suoi dissipatori, offrendo un prodotto di altissima qualità.

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.

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.

The Noctua NH-D15S Chromax Black is a premium air cooler with solid build quality and impressive performance. It keeps my CPU cool even under heavy loads, while remaining incredibly quiet. Installation was straightforward, though its large size may require extra space in your PC case. The all-black design adds a sleek, minimalist look, making it a great fit for modern builds. Overall, the NH-D15S offers excellent cooling, silent operation, and stylish aesthetics, making it one of the best air coolers available.

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 purchased the Noctua CPU air cooler specifically for my Ryzen 7800X3D. It delivers effective cooling performance, though the installation process can be a bit challenging. The provided instructions are decent, and the premium black finish adds a touch of elegance. Additionally, it's compatible with AM5. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

This thing is a beast. It's big sure, but if your machine is under a desk, you'll never see it, and more importantly, you'll barely even hear it. Even at full speed this thing is quiet, and a whole lot quieter than your GPU fans will be.It has a sensible, easy to use mounting system, and includes a long screwdriver to reach the retention screws. It also includes extra fan mounting springs, a fan splitter, and a low noise adapter. Includes noctua thermal paste enough for 2 or 3 applications.It outperforms most AIO systems, including the 280mm nzxt x73 I had before this. And it does it whisper quiet. Having it as the chromax variant means it's not all brown and shiny behind your window case.My only minor gripe is that attaching the fans to the heatsink is fiddly in smaller cases due to clearances. Also if you plan on fitting a 2nd fan to it, forget RGB ram. With a single center mounted fan it has clearance for even the tallest or ram, but adding a 2nd fan over the ram slots will foul. Though I never bothered. Would buy again.
