Prima di questo aio andavo ad aria avevo il famoso termaltake Phantom con 6 tubi di calore poi a il più performante e grosso termaltake assassin a 7 Tubi di calore, questo gigante ne ha ben 8 di heat pipe, le dimensioni sono portate al massimo possibile e un processore and 5900x overcloccato resta sotto gli 80 gradi sotto stress, con pasta termica artic 6 , termaltake tx 8 o termaltake tfx spalmata bene a caldo con l'aiuto di un asciugacapelli le ventole fanno poco rumore e si possono benissimo tenere al massimo anche con case aperto.Fa lo stesso lavoro di un AIO con case aperto, non ho mai superato i 65 gradi con nessun processore amd serie 5000 o 9000 con case chiuso ovviamente rispetto ad un radiatore a liquido in aspirazione da ambiente esterno ha 5-10 gradi in più. Il costo è alto ma dura una vita e non fa praticamente rumore perché le ventole sono più grandi e lente, meglio progettate. Fa più rumore un aio che aspira da dentro come molti li montano, che quindi deve fare andare andare più veloce le due ontre sue ventole, rispetto a questo. Inoltre un aio con radiatore da 280 o 360mm montato in alto in aspirazione da dentro al case chiuso col calore prodotto soprattutto dalla scheda video ha le stesse performance di questo ma con più rumore.

This is the mother of all CPU coolers and a clear improvement over the previous version, which was still a market leader. Offsetting the metalwork gives easy fitting next to the GPU while retaining mass and fin area for cooling.The fans are silent unless you are running extensive CPU tasks, as expected from Noctua. I've used their fans in everything for years, often disassembling stuff to replace their fans with Noctua. Even my Cisco switch has them.The cooler kit comes with everything you need, thermal paste and torx screwdriver included. At this price it should come with a pizza and bottle of imported lager too, but I guess we can't have everything.It's a fantastic cooler, definitely the best air cooler you can get, and worth every penny.Oh, and it even fit into my Corsair 4000D Airflow case, with Vengeance (not RGB) RAM which, according to the compatibility chart at Noctua, it wouldn't because there didn't seem enough clearance between case and cooler to move the fan up to clear the RAM. It was close though on the chart and numbers so I thought I would try and if needs be remove the second fan that overhangs the RAM. No need to; it fit easily with several mm to spare on each side. No worries :)

==============================================NH-D15 G2 for the AM5 Ryzen 7 9800X3D===This will be my third NH-D15, all of which are in use and working flawlessly. You can see my past reviews for the NH-D15 G1 under the top reviews of that product page.The G2 is updated with newer NF-A14x25r G2 fans (vs NF-A15), 8 heat pipes (vs 6), and 20% more surface area from what the specs say, and the same 6 YEAR warranty. The installation kit is surprisingly better than the G1, which was already really good. The G2 is quieter than the G1 by a good amount, it doesn't drone as much under load, and seems to come back down in temperature very fast. This still comes with thermal paste as well, and a new paste guard.I absolutely recommend going with the G2 if you're moving to a higher-end AM5 or LGA1700 chip. Could you go with a G1 on AM5/LGA1700... Possibly, but it may not work as well, and you might need to buy the NM-AM5/4-MP83 mounting kit depending on when you bought your G1. I can't link it here, but Noctua's site has an FAQ link on each variant's product page that links to a very neat "Which version of the NH-D15 G2 should I buy (LBC, Standard or HBC)?" page with a comparison table on it. You can also just web search that title a find it right away. I can't speak about the HBC for Intel and all its parts and install, but most of this will likely mirror just fine to that variant.It's interesting that 3 variants of these coolers are now offered. I ended up buying this LBC for the AM5 knowing that with the past two I've owned I didn't move them to new systems, I just bought a new one each time. I know some people have bought the generic variant of the G2 and it also works fine, better if the offset is used. So far there's no Chromax variant that I'm aware of, it's probably still too new for them to start releasing even more models of it.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 pipes on some AIOs can absolutely put tension on a CPU socket.The RAM I'm using, like with the G1, is still fairly tall. However, the width of the Fractal Torrent does allow the secondary fan to fit just fine even after raising the front fan to fit the taller RAM.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.==================================================Keywords to help searches for fitment and usage:-Ryzen 7 9800X3D-MSI MAG X870 Tomahawk-Fractal Torrent (full size)-G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo

Le meilleur ventirad du marché signé Noctua comme toujours :)Je l'utilise dans ma case air cooled Fractal Torrent avec un Thermal Grizzly KryoSheet (33 x 33 mm) sur mon Ryzen 5900X. Rien a dire, robuste, superbes température même en été, et pas bruyant... bref le top á un prix premium. Le Noctua NH-D15 G2 LB est parfait pour AM4 série 5000X.Par contre faite attention á la taille de votre RAM, je recommande en dessous de 40mm comme les Corsair Vengeance LPX (34mm) car au dessus de 40mm vous allez devoir décaler le ventilo Noctua et peut être que votre case ne pourra pas bien se fermer.

Bästa luftkylaren som finns. Men den ger ändå bara några få grader lägre temperatur än sin föregångare.Så mycket pengar att betala för några grader svalare CPU
