Does the job but needs an XXL case, just fits in a large COOLER MASTER tower.
Check the dimensions of your case before choosing this model.
Otherwise easy to assemble, clear instructions.

The fridge looked perfect, unfortunately after installing it my computer doesn't work anymore. Processor or socket out of order. I put 5 stars because the fan is useful to dry my tears and spread them on my 400 euros processor.
Noctura is a brand that has nothing left to prove when it comes to cooling performance.
A ventirad that is impressive but rather easy to install.
LDLC service is fast and accurate.
What can I say, the brand has more to do with its reputation
I would say, a real air conditioner this cooler
I'm not sure what to expect from this unit, but I'm sure it's a very good one.
I was not expecting such a large size.
I'm not sure if it's a good one or not.
Top quality
everything is thought out
the package is very complete
and really easy to assemble without headaches
mounted on a MSI B150A GAMING PRO motherboard
to cool my i7 6700
I used the adapters supplied with it to connect it to the CPUFan branch
which lowers the speed to about 900 rpm
the silence is present at this speed without altering the cooling (already the i7 does not heat)
Note: no tools required, the screwdriver is provided
HUGE and DRY as they say ^^
Super simple to assemble by following the instructions which are explicit. Very large but very quiet, almost as efficient or even as much as some watercooling, nothing to say more, it is perfect and fulfills its functions perfectly.
I was very pleased with the cooling efficiency offered by the ventirad. However, there are a few things to keep in mind before picking it up:
- check the size of your tower to accept it: it is huge
- check also the size of your RAM
- check if the sockets of your last generation processors/CMs are compatible (it dates this fridge)
- the big black point : no PWM !!! Indeed, the connector is 3 pins and not 4 (old fridge), which means that the speed remains fixed (at the maximum) and does not adapt to the needs of the processor. As a result, it makes quite a lot of noise. There are several options (cable to reduce the voltage, rheobus, bios setting) to overcome this but the simplest and most efficient for me is simply to take a PWM fan (like the NH-D15 or the NH-D14 second edition), which makes it run at full speed if the processor needs it and at minimum if it is idle.
I say "BIG UP" to LDLC and its golden service that accepted within two weeks that I could change this fan by another one more silent. LDLC reimbursed me and offered the return postage and I took the ND-15S instead.
This is a very impressive ventirad (a bit too much maybe, be careful with RAM bars with big radiators, otherwise it won't work :S )
Excellent cooling, 24°C in IDLE and 40 at the maximum under OCCT, all this in a royal silence (Fractal Deasign Define R5 case)
Easy assembly, good quality thermal paste. It's worth every penny spent!
Just a huge fan out of the box.
I was skeptical about the noise level but what can I say, silence on all levels.
Very good equipment and the quality is there.
------------------------------------------------
Bought in 2015 to cool an Intel Core i7-4790k. My processor spent the summer without exceeding 45°C. Moreover, after settings in the bios, the two fans are almost inaudible.
This is more reliable and less noisy than a watercooling system.
The packaging and the bundle are very complete.
