The cooler being an eyesore is totally subjective. I think it looks badass man.
Awesome, I recently ordered my computer parts and i'm quite looking forward to seeing this cooler in person lol
I think he is talking about the colour of the fans
was literally gonna comment something similar. I think mine looks so nice and beefy in my case. like you look at it and know that shit is cooling tf out of my shit
For those of you with an LGA 2011 board like me, you do not need the backplate. Read the instructions in the box, they walk you through the entire process of how to mount it.
I've been debating installing mine but this video has motivated me to do it a lot.. Thank you.. What I appreciate most is confirmation ( I couldn't find elsewhere) that you can install these D15's without having to pull out the motherboard 1st.. That would have been time consuming and risky for me since I'm not confident I can get all the Panel and SATA/ USB cabling back properly without a lot of fiddling.. I like the comparison Benchmarks too.. so before I pull it I will try find the Prime95 app and run it for a while. and Finally I was shocked to see you had so much overhead remaining between the plexiglass side panel and the top of FAN 2.. That's very encouraging to see since I was assuming I'd have to leave Fan2 OFF.. Thanks Again .. wish me luck.. I'll be back in a few days with an update on how it went once I complete the effort.. Mine is a AMD Ryzen7 2700 into a MSI X470 CARBON Pro MB with G.SKILL DDR4 and a RTX 2080? Graphics card.. Thanks Again for taking the time to make this video.. even tho it's for a different processor .. it helped a lot
Glad I could help! Good luck!
@@2XPGaming Ok so here's a follow up. i did go ahead and install it. There was about 1/4 inch free space all the way around except for the DDR4 who's height would not allow for the second fan and still fit the top cover on the case so I swapped it with the Original Thermal Take fan which was about an inch smaller on each side, that was just enough to allow for the cover to fit. Only thing I wasn't sure of was the AirFlow direction , it's not shown in the instruction sheet at all so I put the center fan back in just as I had removed it to tighten the main chip to thermal plate, and did notice on the side you can't see that the AirFlow arrow is shown there.. Not so on the ThermalTake fan but I made sire the blased were oriented teh same way and checked the directions theu ae both exhausiing Hot Air Up and out the vent and thurd fan in the top of the case.. CPU is free running at idle at 52C ,, and I will do some benchmarking soon.. It was too hard to get the prime95 so I will keep using HWMonitor and 3D MARK
This is EXACTLY what I needed to see. Thank you for making this.
This fan is massive! I’m planning on using this fan when I build my PC. Wish me luck!
Let us know how it goes!
This is a very well put together video. I had just purchased the Noctua NH-D15 and wasn't sure just how good it really was compared to liquid cooling, so this video was very reassuring that I made the right choice! Even though the Noctua is ugly af, performance is all that matters =)
I was just looking for installation videos of the NH-D15, and thought I'd mention that Noctua makes heatsink covers. That helps with the ugly AF :)
that Cooler Master Storm Trooper is a nice case
overall a really good video, a few things to point out though, I see you put on a antistatisk wrist band, that's a smart and really cheap way to protect your pc from accidental static when you are installing new hardware. Might be a good idea to clip it in though, since all you had on in the video was the wristband, witch dosen't do anything on its own.
The second thing i wanna mention is your cable management, or should i call it "management" your case has a lot of useful holes, notches, latches and trays for managing the cables. please use them :-) it would make me so much more happy to watch videos like this.
I recently replaced my brand name, 3 year old liquid cooler with a NH-D15 because of concerns that as it got older the liquid cooler may fail and leak - totally wrecking my system - as happened in my previous system build which had a cheap, OEM liquid cooler. To my tremendous surprise, on my 140w TDP i7-5820k, the NH-D15 significantly out performs the old (240mm radiator with two 120mm fans) liquid cooler - beating it most with a "100% CPU on all cores for over an hour" video rendering workload, consistently by 15C with a max temperature of just over 50C. I did use a higher efficiency thermal paste than the NT-H1 paste that Noctua provided, using Thermal Grizzly that is supposed to be 50% more efficient. Pretty surprised and impressed with the performance even though now there are a few other coolers that are reported to beat the NH-D15. I trust Noctua's reputation which seems to be well deserved so far!
Am i the only person in this world who love this noctua design and colors?
Nicely done. Everything explained with good camera shots. Thanks for the video.
+Namelus thanks!
Nice review there and installing guide! Getting ready for installing my nhd15
Those temps are pretty crazy to be honest.
I recently installed the 212 Evo (Never again) and my max temp is 45C so for you to just 100C is ABSURD!
My stock cooler maxed at 60C ffs XD
Why not move the second into other side? So it will push the hot air fast because its very close to the red fan next to it?
Looks great! Nice video, too.
Great video although i wish you'd leave a link of the hardware you had
An excellent presentation, I purchased one of these today...02/09/2019 and was looking for some tips and tricks before installing.
I am putting this on a 9900k. Will be deliiddng and direct die install if it cannot control temps at 5ghtz overclock on all cores.
Liked and subbed thank you!
hows your setup working?
That thing is massive.
Great video mate. Thank you
Thanks for the vid. Helped me a lot. :) Cheers!
So I got a predator rosewill case for this build....lets just say I'm pretty pretty petrified about the size lol
Im coming from the h100i v2, pump failure. Currently going through RMA and waiting for one of these i brought off Amazon...
Great video. I though it was really well made.
The point was more cores more watt. Nothing else 😊
What if you add to your aio cooler some noctua fans. I bet the performance would go up and sound down :D
Does Noctua NH-D15 fit in Zalman Z1 neo caase?? Case supports maximum height 160mm, Noctua with fan is about 165mm high, can I close the case? There is a little more space in this ''window''
Please help, I appreciate.
@10:24....good video BUT, you couldve went in more depth as to HOW to put the clips on the second fan, as i had difficulty doing this, and had to look up another video that showed how to do it, you kinda just glossed over that.
the noctua it's better I love my noctua.
Thank you!
12:10 so 3C difference at idle, 10-16C difference at full load. Even hitting 90C makes me nervous.
the cpu cooler is compatible with nzxt noctis 450 or not because its huge cooler
Can I add a 2nd fan on the opposite side of ram instead at the side above the ram, because I don't have that much space above the ram?
Its going to depend on your motherboard and RAM height. You should check the specs on the tallness of your RAM when installed and then check clearance of your case with the fans. You'll need to consult manufacturers manual/website for more info.
Yes you can
While you should not put a lot of paste, that was way to little(will not spread all over the processor)
I used a Hyper 212 Evo for almost three years with an i5 4690k. During 100% load, it ran at 50-70°. I saw it go up to 80-84° with Prime96. I'm guessing you were overclocking? I did use a bit more thermal paste than you did, though.
well....i bought and i doesn't fit, i guess i have to buy another case....
do I have to take the plastic rings off the backplate
god damn it, interferes with first pci slot even though pc part picker and the website said it doesnt
what motherboard do you have?
Wait im confused. This covers the RAM Slots? so..... the point of it?
It could interfere with the RAM slots if you have large heatsinks on them. But it doesn't get obstructed. You would just have to raise the fan a bit.
2XP Gaming okay thank you. I don’t have very high heat sinks so I will look into this more
i have mainboard gigabyte h55s2v with gtx 770 4gb 384 bit ,,,, would
that cooler fit in mainboard gigabyte h55 s2v (1156 socket) that already
installed vga card manli geforce gtx 770 4 gb 384 bit ?,,, is there are
an issue if i buy this cooler !! ??
Does it take alot of pressure to put the screws into the bracket?
No - it shouldn’t feel like you have to force it.
Can I get some case recommendations that are compatible with this?
I recommend checking the case specs vs the cooler measurements as that will dictate what you get if you want it to fit. The case in the video is the Cooler Master storm trooper, fit fine.
Which case do you have ?
Hey i got a Cooler master elite 310 case (Yes i know it's hella small but it came with the original PC where after i started switching stuff out.... i bought the PC before i learned to build one myself...) Anyway getting off the subjekt here, i got a M5A97 R2.0 motherboard with horrible cable management but i can fix that... I were looking into buying this cooler but seeing how big that beast really is... I'm really not sure it's gonna fit... Soooo what do you think?
***** Actually i just talked with my dad about making my own cabinet! :D I'm really hyped because i can make it really big without paying almost 200 dollars.... Things are expensive here in Denmark...
You have to get thermal paste?
It’s been so long I honestly cannot recall if it came with it. I just used Arctic Silver because I had it and it’s always worked well for me.
what is the name of your case
how do you install this right now with the 212 evo my ram is almost touching the fan, but with this its much bigger how will i have the fan face the ram it wont fit.
If the Evo 212 is a tight fit this will be even tighter. The fan likely won't fit all the way down the cooling tower with the RAM.
what motherboard do you have?
+Nick Hanson ASUS ROG Formula VII
What Motherboard is that?
is it a good idea to install the backplate with the motherboard still in there?
vicwiz007 yes or eles you risk that the cooler will fall of and break somthing in you motherboard
If I'm getting a Cooler Master- MasterCase Pro 5 (Mid Tower), will this fit?
Absolutely - I had this in that case for some time.
Will i be able to fit 4 sticks of ram on with this? I'm getting the asus maximus vii formula.
***** Cool i found some low profile ram.
how much room u have left? thinking on getting cm Haf 912 advanced, so i dont know if it will fit with regular size ram or i need to go for low profile ram (cm Haf 912 has 175mm cpu cooler clearence where as yours has 186.) do you have 12 mm free room or more?
Do you know the height of your ram?
and there is more than 40mm from top of heatsink/fan to the side panel?
100* celsius?, That can't be right can it?
Yep, that is what was being put out in RealTemp unfortunately.
Think this will fit in a corsair graphite 760t?
I would imagine so, especially since it is a full tower. Always check with the manufacturer specs to be 100% sure before purchasing.
I managed to install it, it was a tight fit, but im seeing a 20c-25c improvement over my H75 with an I7-7700k.
I'm planning to pair this with an "ASRock X99 Extreme4 ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard" could you or anyone tell me if it would block the first pci? I plan to crossfire in the future as well.
I'd suggest using pcpartpicker to answer your question. It's your best bet as other people might've tried a similar build and you'd see it posted there. Alternatively, you can start a new build in pcpartpicker and see if everything is compatible or not.
ended up going with the x99 a-ii, using it now and I it worked great. I ended up using noctuas compatibility list on their official website, worked along better. While PCpartspicker is good it doesn't really look at the compatibility of CPU cooler sizes. I found that half of the ones that were "compatible" on PCP ended up blocking the first PCI-E slot, which is something pretty major imo.
What case is that?
***** thnx
Earning Attorney Who replyed to you?
cooler master storm trooper
How heavy is it
Its pretty heavy, but the backplate and brackets support it well.
Mine vibrates.
what are your specs for this pc?
Cooler Master Storm Trooper. Intel i7-6700k. Asus ROG Maximus mobo, 16GB DDR3 2133Mhz, (2) Samsung Evo SSD, (1) WD HDD
so does this work with AMD and Intel?
Alex Alt Yes..they have their compatibility chart on the website or you can simply contact their support and ask.
+Alex Alt yes it has brackets for both
I have a fx 6300 with a noctua nh d15 OC to 4ghz
Is that good or bad?
+Bumble Bee If you're getting good temperatures then that's fine. With OC you have to be careful not to overheat the CPU otherwise it'll get "burned out." Try using a program like RealTemp or CPU-Z to see what your idle and load temps are.
+2XP Gaming what temp is "good" for the cpu?
I'm more familiar with Intel CPUs but with any CPU, the lower the better. For example, my Intel Core i7-4770K idles at about 28C. Under load it goes to about 55-60C. Anything above 90C is not good, at least for an Intel chip.
It is of 1.3 KGs !!!
can the noctua nh d15 handle the heat of fx-9590?
+bonux50394 000 these air coolers are great for most anything. Will you get the coolest temps compared to a custom water cooling kit? Probably not. But I think this thing can compete head to head with all in one cooling solutions.
I'm getting 49 degrees on idle (only using the middle fan, second fan is in my box), 53 degrees at load.
I have FX6300, temps are MAX at 28dgc, with all tests... :-> see my video
Christian Grytten The FX 6300 runs a lot cooler anyway, because the 9590 uses a lot of power almost as much as GPU's (maybe even more). Anyway on a cool day I get 39 degrees on idle and 50 on load, in a hot day 47 on idle and 55 on load.
Cool, yeah i recon more cores more power :-). Still an awesome cooler
i uprade my hyper 212 i get more than 85c on my i7 4790k oc to 4.6ghz and 90c on 4.7ghz
why couldnt those fans be black and gray. like seriously! wtf! those colors are just disgusting. but it performs great. i own this fyi. as a side cooler. i use h100i gtx.
***** nice ill be checking those out.
A lot of people care for performance over style
I'm sure people like to make a great looking PC but why do you think some cases don't even have a window? Not everyone cares about aesthetics. In the PC world, looks are sure as hell not just as important as performance. thats just silly
Everyone and his brother make black fans. When you look in a case and see these colours you know that person has invested in the best!
That's not enough thermal paste. At all.
*****
Fair enough. In my opinion it should be a flat and thick enough layer so you can't see the name of the CPU. I think that's better since the thermal paste should be everywhere equally on top of the CPU to maximize effectiveness.
The thermal paste is to close the gap of beetween cpu and the plate xD then this ppl put tiny bit xD
why does he sound like Nicholas Cage
So I'm thinking about building a PC is this a good build? pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/
+2XP Gaming oops 😂 this should work pcpartpicker.com/p/RWJVrH
will this fan fit this case? www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/cm593/
Looks like it 'should' fit the case but I would suggest checking the specs of the case versus the specs of the cooler.
What No Swiss Army Knife, you must be an amateur.
"It's not about the looks, it's about the performance..." Wrong. It's about both.
Lol terrible CPU the 4790k runs at 65°c max OC
Better just have single heatsink these days with 2 fans mounted even Skylake thing is running so cold that there is atually a problem in the silicon procces that doesnt allow to overclock above 4.9Ghz even with liquid nitrogen all that stuff doesn't even matter anymore...
its ugly
brown is sexy. it's a mark of quality. if you want to make a light up LED pc go right ahead
its hot
wait no its cool...
...
it's A E S T H E T I C
Great video, thanks!
