Noctua NH-D15 G2, Dual Tower CPU Cooler, Standard All-round Version Recommended for AMD AM5 and Intel LGA1851 / LGA1700 (Brown)

Noctua set the standard for quality PC accessories - they really do. Honestly, the instruction guide of what to do could be read and understood by anyone, even those not IT minded. The kit came with everything relevant for either AMD or Intel installation and amongst the items included, was a Noctua branded Torx screwdriver which was perfect for the long reach required between the heatsinks. A top class product. If you're thinking Noctua might be a little pricey - they have every right to be. Zero issues, excellent construction using quality materials and brilliant documentation.

It's super quiet, super cool and very easy to install. Initially bought this after needing to return a faulty watercooler and it really is the top of its game, I have not a single fault. Build quality is excellent, the box was packed wonderfully and had everything I could need.

I have Intel Ultra 7 processor and used my old Noctua Dh15. During stress testing temps reached 103 degrees and stayed close to 100. This new G2 cooler is amazing. My temps only briefly reached 100 degrees and most of the time stayed at 90-95. Very happy and highly recommended.

Quite and very efficient fan

Much better than the air cooler that it replaced, albeit I'd expect that for how much more money it costs than my old one! Overall, installation was incredibly simple on my AM5 board without really needing to reference the instructions as the process is relatively intuitive. Keeps my Ryzen 7950X exceptionally cool so pretty happy with my purchase!

This is definitely overkill for any AMD CPU. Thermalright's Peerless Assassin provides 95% of the cooling performance of the Noctua for less than a quarter of the price. However, Noctua's engineering is legendary, and I know that in 3-5 years when AMD have moved on to a new socket I will be able to email their customer service and get a new AM6 mount for this cooler for free. It's objectively the best cooler, and it will last for 10-15 years, but if you want to save £100 from this and put it towards your GPU or CPU instead, that should be the priority. If money doesn't matter then this is currently the best air cooler you can buy.

Does the job, installation was easy and quieter than it's predecessor D15.

Very good fans , powerful unit , amazing temperatures in my mesh fractal north
