With over 200 recommendations and awards from the international specialist press, Noctua's flagship NH-D15 has become an undisputed benchmark in the world of dual finned block fans. The Noctua NH-D15 SE-AM4 version has been specially designed for configurations based on the AMD AM4 (Ryzen) socket and features the SecuFirm2 fastening system specific to the AM4. Equipped with two reference fans, the NF-A15 PWM 140mm, a high-performance NT-H1 thermal paste and benefiting from a full six-year manufacturer's warranty.6-year manufacturer's warranty, the NH-D15 SE-AM4 processor fan is an ideal top-of-the-range solution for both overclocking and silent enthusiasts looking for an ultra-high-performance AM4 configuration.
Version specially dedicated to the AM4
The NH-D15 SE-AM4 gives the new AMD AM4 platform access to the acoustic and cooling performance for which the NH-D15 is renowned. With a dissipation capacity that can cope with extreme temperatures, it enables overclocking enthusiasts to push their AM4 system to the limit. As for those who want to keep noise levels to a minimum, they can benefit from ultra-low speed ventilation.Compared with traditional monolithic heat sinks, the NH-D15 is built around 6 heat pipes and two finned blocks, offering a larger heat exchange surface, better heat distribution and maximised air flow thanks to the use of two fans.
Maximum RAM compatibility and dual ventilation
Thanks to its low recessed fins, the NH-D15 offers 64mm of available space for high memory modules in single fan mode, making it compatible with most high-end memory modules on the market. When using both fans, the NH-D15 generally requires the use of standard size memory modules (maximum 32mm).Compared with the NH-D14, the heat sink of the NH-D15 has been enlarged (150mm compared with 140mm for its predecessor) and the heat pipes have been spaced further apart, ensuring that the heat is distributed more evenly and over a larger surface area. All this contributes to the NH-D15's improved performance.
The NH-D15 is equipped with two top-of-the-range Noctua NF-A15 140mm fans. Meeting the Noctua AAO standard and benefiting from aerodynamic design optimisations (such as Flow Acceleration Channels), the NF-A15 has earned an excellent reputation as one of the best 140mm fans on the market.
PWM and Low Noise Adapter (L.N.A.) compatibility
The top-of-the-range NF-A15 fans supplied with the NH-D15 are PWM compatible for automatic speed control via the motherboard. What's more, to further reduce noise levels, the fan speed can be capped (from 1500 to 1200 rpm) using the Low Noise Adapter (L.N.A.).In addition to cooling the CPU alone, the imposing NF-A15 fans deliver a significant flow of air - below the finned block - to the motherboard's components and heatsinks, ensuring ideal cooling of the latter.
Noctua SecuFirm2 mounting systems have become the ultimate benchmark for quality, reliability and ease of assembly. The SecuFirm2 system for AM4 can be installed in the traditional way or with a 90° swivel, to guarantee excellent compatibility and optimum flow, taking into account the constraints of the case.
Yes: it takes up a lot of space with its double fan and imposes itself by taking up almost 1/4 of the volume of my tower
but
It does a great job of being silent and cooling!
I highly recommend it

Huge
Excellent fridge, but beware of the size!
Acquired for a new Ryzen 9 processor: it is even bigger than my previous Noctua NH-U12P (which cooled an Intel 7).
Although I have a respectable sized case, I had a bit of trouble fitting it in. If you want to fit the supplied 2nd fan, you won't have access to the memory sticks - unless you fit it the other way round, in which case you'll have trouble fitting a large graphics card into the dedicated PCI slot.
Alternatively, you may need a more than respectable sized CM (mine is the MSI B550 carbon wifi, which feels a bit cramped in front of such a monster).

quiet, efficient, perfect.
The part is rather large and imposing but it still fits in most PCs so look at it before buying but if you are considering getting it go for it head on.3

Huge!
It's a huge ventirad that does a more than efficient job! You just need a tower that can accommodate it and possibly support it: it's not a lightweight, nor a midget.

Great and quiet
It's not watercooling but it cools very well with or without a workload or video games. It is very quiet and I can't hear the fans. Very good purchase and for the delivery, always a pleasure to see a well packed package and without physical damage

be sure to leave plenty of room in your turn.
this ventirad is huge ! but it does its job very well
RYZEN 7 processor overcloker this one has 45 ° with fan in autonomous average speed of 800 rpm so in silence!
I recommend it.
I would recommend it to anyone who wants to change their processor. It supports up to 240W (currently 75W max).
