Amazing Air-Cooling Performance
=======================================New version from 2022 (On AMD AM4)===Bought another one of these recently for a new AM4 build, and once more the performance is outstanding. There were minor changes to this model's packaging where they added parts for the AM4 socket. From what I understand you can also request these parts from Noctua directly with proof of purchase on an older model NH-D15.I have a higher core count on this CPU with higher clocks compared to my previous build below, and it's holding the temps between 37-53C from idle to max load. It's also nearly silent with only some very minor wind noise under load.The RAM I'm using on this build is a bit taller than I'd like, but the case does allow the secondary fan to fit just fine with the slightly added height from the fan adjustment above the RAM.I can absolutely recommend pairing this with the Fractal Torrent given its size and the overall purpose of these being air-cooling.Keywords to help searches for fitment:-MSI MAG X570S Tomahawk-Fractal Torrent (full size)-G.SKILL Trident Z Neo===========================================Older version from 2017 (On Intel LGA1151)===This air cooler defeated my old Corsair H100i v2 in cooling efficiency, noise, quality, and likely overall space consumption (no tubes or radiators blocking sides of the case). I'm getting at least 8-10C cooler with this thing over water and it's not even running at full speed. Not to say the water cooler was bad, but just weigh your options depending on how you set up your case cooling.Even with the slight offset of the optional fan, using Corsair Vengeance LPX sticks, I had plenty of headroom in the Air 540 even though it stated a 170mm clearance.Keywords to help searches for fitment:-Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7-Corsair Air 540-Corsair Vengeance LPX===========================Notes for both versions===It's awesome that this thing fits so many different socket types, should I choose to switch to AMD then I don't have to buy a different kit I just change out the mounts. The build quality of the hardware is outstanding, none of the parts feel cheap or of poor manufacturing. Assembly and installation is easy to follow even though it looks way too large to sit on the socket. Some may be concerned about strain on the CPU/socket but I'd say it's comparable to some AIOs in this category, the tubes on some AIOs can absolutely put tension on the socket.If you're not concerned with the interior looks of your case then you should seriously buy this thing.If you *are* concerned with the interior looks of your case then search for the Chromax product line to compliment this hardware.If you're unsure about the optional secondary fan fitting, take a 140mm case fan and set it on top of your RAM (vertically as if it were on the cooler sitting above the RAM). If it still clears the side of your case with a few millimeters to spare then you're likely OK. Both 140mm fans are almost fully adjustable, they move/notch up and down on wire clips using the heat-sink fins as mounting points.The fans are 140mm with 120mm mounts, probably for compatibility to fit a 120mm fan as the optional for those with taller RAM.These do come with thermal paste as well.

Perfect for my setup
I've always heard great things about Noctua NH-D15s, and now that I can finally experience one, those claims are all accurate. The Noctua NH-D15 is great for users who want a quiet and cool air cooler.Packaging was super clean and used a lot of recyclable cardboard, which is always great to see over plastics and Styrofoam. The manual was super easy to follow and had pictures to help illustrate the steps you needed to follow.Installation was simple to follow, but I've also built a few PCs before so I already had some knowledge from prior builds. Conveniently, they include a thermal paste syringe so you don't have to worry about buying your own, or trying to find that tube you left somewhere a year or two ago when you last build a PC.Performance is exceptional. My thermals have never been this low or consistent. For reference, I have been using an AIO with a single fan radiator, so I was due for an upgrade. I run a Ryzen 5800x3D, and I haven't seen my temps go higher than 80 degrees, even during my full load stress test. My idle temps are consistently around the 38-50 degree range depending on background tasks. The noise level is also fantastic, considering I can barely hear the fans when they are running at full bore.Overall, if your case has the space for this beast of a cooler, it is worth the investment. Especially considering Noctua has an excellent customer support team who will ship you a new bracket if you upgrade to a system that requires a new one that didn't come with your original box.

Best air cooler you can buy
Still the best air cooler you can buy.Replaced the pathetic, tiny cooler that came with my i7-11700 that was regularly seeing temps 90C and above, and shorted my motherboard.I got the MB fixed and stuck this monster in my rig and even at 100% everything the CPU hasn't crossed 68C. Usually well under 50C and I really have to push it to even approach 60C. And it stays quiet even with both fans at full speed. At normal use it's near silent.SUPER happy with this. Instantly solved all kinds of heat problems I was having.But again, I must note it is HUMONGOUS and the second fan will probably not fit in an aesthetically pleasing way depending on where your RAM slots are, but still it does fit inside my ATX case and is not touching the inside wall even being offset to accommodate the RAM. Hard to tell but it looks like a good 1/4" of clearance to me. (second fan not yet installed in photo)Easy to install, if you're not afraid to open up your machine and tinker with the guts (it's both one of my best, and worst, traits 😁). An easy and quick upgrade still even if you have to get someone else to do it.Bottom line, if you have room for it, you cannot do better than this without going AIO or full liquid. Quiet, does what it's supposed to. A little pricey but worth the extra money.
