NOCTUA NH-D15 G2 140mm Dual Tower CPU AIr Cooler ( Black )

Features of NOCTUA NH-D15 G2 140mm Dual Tower CPU AIr Cooler ( Black )

Award-winning NH-D15 G2 cooler

While the original NH-D15 has reigned supreme for an entire decade, the G2 model provides another step up in performance and technology. Further refined in virtually all respects from the heatsink and the fans all the way down to the mounting, thermal paste and accessory package, the NH-D15 G2 has become a new reference.

chromax.black design

The NH-D15 G2 chromax.black is black from head to toe: Featuring a black heatsink with high thermal conductivity coating, black fans with black anti-vibration-pads, black fan clips and black mounting parts, it’s right at home in all-black builds and easy to integrate with other colour schemes.

Optimised, asymmetrical fin-stacks

The NH-D15 G2 has been painstakingly optimised to best utilise the superior airflow and pressure performance of the novel NF-A14x25r G2 fans. Thanks to the fans’ improved P/Q performance, the fin-spacing could be reduced from 1.9mm to 1.6mm, which made it possible to integrate 26 extra fins and increase total fin surface area by 20%. At the same time, the width of the front fin-stack has been cut by 5mm so that the loading is more balanced between the two fans.

More performance, smaller size

Thanks to the higher fin density made possible by the new NF-A14x25r G2 fans as well as the asymmetrical fin-stacks and a slightly smaller gap between the stacks, the G2 version combines improved performance with a slightly smaller size compared to the original NH-D15 (9mm less heatsink depth, same heatsink width, same total height including fans).

8 heatpipes for superior performance at higher heat-loads

The NH-D15 G2 utilises eight instead of six heatpipes compared to the original NH-D15. The increased thermal capacity of the extra heatpipes is especially helpful at extreme heat-loads such as 250W and beyond, where the performance boost over the original NH-D15 is the biggest.

PWM control with wide speed range

The NF-A14x25r G2 PWM fans can be PWM-controlled from their maximum speed of 1500rpm all the way down to 300rpm. This makes it possible to adjust them for maximum performance or near-silent operation using either automatic, temperature-based motherboard speed control or manual controllers such as the NA-FC1.

Two NF-A14x25r G2 fans

Noctua’s next-generation NF-A14x25r G2 fans set a new benchmark for performance-to-noise efficiency in round-frame 140mm fans. Their superb acoustics as well as their superior airflow and pressure characteristics are one of the cornerstones that enable the NH-D15 G2 to push beyond its legendary predecessor.

Compatibility with past and future sockets

Thanks to Noctua’s SecuFirm ecosystem, the NH-D15 G2 chromax.black can be made compatible with the older LGA20xx (LGA2066, LGA2011-0 and LGA2011-3 Square ILM), LGA1366 and LGA775 sockets using optional mounting kits, which are provided through Noctua’s website free of charge. If technically possible, Noctua will also provide upgrade kits for future sockets, which makes the cooler a safe long-term investment.

6-year manufacturer’s warranty

Noctua products are renowned for their impeccable quality and outstanding longevity. True to this legacy, the NH-D15 G2 heatsink is built to last, and like all Noctua fans, the supplied NF-A14x25r G2 units feature an MTTF rating of more than 150,000 hours. The entire package comes with a full 6-year manufacturer’s warranty.
