Thanks to the same proven dual-tower heatsink design and NF-A15 PWM fans; it stays true to the NH-D15's successful formula of rivalling the performance of all-in-one water coolers while maintaining superb quietness of operation. At the same time; the chromax.black version with its black fans 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-D15 chromax.black is a deluxe choice for both overclockers and silent enthusiasts who seek an elite-class heatsink that looks just as great as it cools.

Award-winning NH-D15 cooler Tens of thousands of enthusiast users all over the world swear by the NH-D15's quality and performance. Recommended by more than 200 international hardware websites and magazines; it is renowned for being one of the best high-end coolers on the market.
chromax.black design The NH-D15 chromax.black is black from head to toe: Featuring a black coated heatsink; black fans with black anti-vibration-pads; black fan clips and black mounting parts; it's right at home in all-black builds and easy to integrate with other colour schemes.

Colour-customisable Using the optional NA-HC3 and NA-HC4 heatsink covers as well as the NA-SAVP3 anti-vibration pads (available in black; blue; green; red; yellow; white); the NH-D15 chromax.black can be fully customised to fit popular build colour schemes such as black and red or black and white.
6 heatpipe dual tower design As compared to conventional single tower heatsinks; the NH-D15's fine-tuned six heatpipe dual tower design provides more surface area; better heat-distribution and superior airflow efficiency in dual fan mode.
Widened fin stack and expanded heatpipe layout Compared to the NH-D14; the NH-D15's fin-stack has been widened from 140 to 150mm and its heatpipes are now spaced further apart; which allows for a more uniform heat distribution over a larger surface area and thus contributes to the NH-D15's superior efficiency.
High RAM compatibility in single fan mode Thanks to its recessed lower fins; the NH-D15 provides 64mm clearance for tall memory heatsinks in single fan mode; making it compatible with most high end RAM modules on the market. In dual fan mode; the NH-D15 should be used with standard height RAM (up to 32mm).*
Dual NF-A15 140mm fans The NH-D15 features two of Noctua's premium class NF-A15 140mm fans. Complying with Noctua's AAO standard and featuring sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels; the NF-A15 has quickly built up a reputation as one of the best 140mm fans on the market.

PWM support and Low-Noise Adaptors The NF-A15 premium fans supplied with the NH-D15 support PWM for convenient automatic speed control through the motherboard. In addition; the maximum fan speed can be reduced from 1500 to 1200rpm using the supplied Low-Noise Adaptors for even quieter operation.
Excellent component cooling Extending below the fin-stacks; the large NF-A15 fans not only contribute to the NH-D15's superb CPU cooling capabilities but also provide massive airflow over surrounding motherboard components and heatsinks; thus ensuring excellent component cooling performance.
SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system Noctua's SecuFirm2 mounting systems have become synonymous with quality; safety and easy installation. Supporting Intel LGA115x (LGA1150; LGA1151; LGA1155; LGA1156) and LGA20xx (LGA2066; LGA2011-0; LGA2011-3); as well as AMD AM4; AM3(+); AM2(+); FM2(+) and FM1; the SecuFirm2 mounting included with the NH-U12S is straightforward to install; provides perfect contact pressure and will stand the test of time even under heavy use.
Compatibility with past and future sockets Thanks to Noctua's SecuFirm ecosystem; the NH-D15 can be made compatible with the older LGA1366 and LGA775 sockets using the optional NM-I3 mounting kit; which is provided free of charge. If technically possible; Noctua will also provide upgrade kits for future sockets; which makes the NH-D15 a safe long-term investment.

NT-H1 thermal compound Noctua's much-acclaimed NT-H1 is a pro-grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance; excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability. Chosen again and again by overclockers and enthusiast users worldwide; it has established itself as a benchmark for premium-quality thermal compounds.
Soldered interface between heatpipes and fins With many heatsinks; the fins are press-fitted to the heatpipes. Due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of copper and aluminium; this fit can loosen over years of thermal cycling; which may lead to reduced performance. By contrast; the NH-D15's fins are soldered to the heatpipes in order to guarantee a superior thermal interface that doesn’t deteriorate even after many years of usage.
6-year manufacturer's warranty Noctua products are renowned for their impeccable quality and outstanding longevity. Like all Noctua fans; the supplied NF-A15's feature an MTTF rating of more than 150;000 hours and the entire NH-D15 package comes with a full 6-year manufacturer's warranty.
