The NH-D15 is the best performing air cooler and blows most air coolers out of the water. We also observed that the cooler is almost inaudible outside the case. Although expensive as per air cooler standards, with an excellent build quality and a performance that’s as good as AIO liquid coolers, the Noctua NH-D15 is a recommended choice and justifies its price to a large extent.
Noctua includes a wealth of useful accessories inside the box including two of their NF-A15 fans, two low noise adapters, a fan splitting Y-cable, a tube of Noctua’s NT-H1 thermal paste, a screw driver, extra fan clamps and a case badge. At an ambient room temperature of 28°C, we saw an average idle temperature of 29°C while the load temperature never crossed 48°C.
And so, the NH-D15 stands out as the best performer among air coolers for a performance that blew most air coolers out of the water. We also observed that the cooler is almost inaudible outside the case. Although expensive as per air cooler standards, with excellent build quality and a performance that’s as good as AIO liquid coolers, the Noctua NH-D15 is a recommended choice and justifies its price to a large extent.
