That's right, the Noctua NH-D15 has hit the labs for testing. Let's see if Noctua can claim the top of the heap like its predecessor did in our results."
Der Noctua NH-D15 ist endlich fertig gestellt und bereit für den großen hungrigen Markt. Diese Nachricht erreichte uns vor wenigen Tagen, zu unserer Freude. Der High-End Kühler wurde schon vor langer Zeit angekündigt und hat sich wegen ein paar Optimierungen etwas verzögert. Wem der Kühler Name noch kein Begriff ist: Der NH-D15 ist ein Dual-Tower Kühler der Eliteklasse, der auf dem legendären NH-D14 basiert. Dieser Kühler war zum Zeitpunkt der Veröffentlichung das Non-Plus-Ultra am Kühler Markt. Natürlich muss man so ein erfolgreiches Modell weiter optimieren und weiter entwickeln.
Noctua are one of the best CPU cooler manufacturers around, their CPU coolers have pushed air cooling to new highs over the last few years and most importantly, their NH-D14 was and still is one of the best on the market. The rule generally goes that if something isn’t broken, it doesn’t need fixing, but the NH-D14 is getting a little older now and the competition from companies like be quiet! and Thermaltake (to name but a few) means that Noctua have to do something to stay relevant. The NH-D15 is based on the NH-D14 design, but brings with a it a few tweaks and improvements that Noctua hope will help them compete with many of the newer rival products.
Weighing 1,320 grams with both fans installed, Noctua's NH-D15 heatsink is big. It stands 162mm tall and has a footprint of 151x161mm so prospective buyers will want to measure their case clearances first. It's six heat pipes are soldered to the nickel plated copper base plate and aluminum cooling fins; overall the fit and finish is top notch.
Continuing on from the Noctua NH-C14S review, we have another revision of another Noctua cooler. This time the flagship NH-D15 gets the treatment in the form of the NH-D15S. The Noctua NH-C14S is a really impressive cooler and a typical Noctua design, unusual but sublime in its execution.
If i had to guess what most of your reading these lines right now use to keep the temperatures of your CPUs in check chances are that most of you are still using regular CPU air coolers and why not since they can provide excellent cooling efficiency without asking for much in return like custom watercooling kits and even some AIO models? Unfortunately as I’ve already mentioned numerous times in the past CPU air coolers have reached a level of performance which i really doubt they will ever be able to surpass (AIO solutions might) but in the long run they may not have to since miniaturization (smaller manufacturing process) tends to reduce power requirements and thus temperatures. With the same reasoning in mind Noctua recently announced several "compact" CPU air coolers but for people wanting something more without however having to worry about clearance issues they also released a "tweaked" version of their flagship NH-D15 model which they named the NH-D15S.
Mitte Mai 2015 erreichte uns eine Pressemitteilung über zwei neue CPU Kühler aus dem Hause Noctua, wobei der Begriff "Neu" weniger zutrifft als eher optimiert. Die überarbeiteten Modelle NH-C14S und NH-D15S wurden kompatibler und kompakter gemacht, so dass sie mit nur einem Lüfter auskommen und nicht so viel Platz in Anspruch nehmen. Heute zeigen wir euch das zweite Modell, den wir im Test hatten, den NH-D15S.
When building a brand new computer choosing the right components is directly tied to the type of use ment for it so obviously you wouldn't use the same ones you'd use with the office system as you would with the one in your living room. Needless to say the same applies for the CPU cooler since a gaming oriented system would need one with a much higher cooling efficiency compared to that of an office system or even a HTPC. The downside however with really powerful CPU coolers is their massive size so if you wanted to place one inside a mITX/mATX case chances are you'd be out of luck. Well manufacturers know this all too well so for the past 2-3 years many of them have focused a lot in the design of compact CPU coolers with impressive cooling potential (for their size always). Noctua has already released several such models in the market but with their latest NH-D9L D-Type Tower Cooler they seem to be taking things one step further.
Niemand geringeres als der Kühlerspezialist Noctua prescht mit immer wieder neuen Kühlermodellen vor und erobert regelmäßig die Spitzenplätze in den Praxistests. Nun aber soll weniger das High-End Segment abgegriffen werden, sondern die Sparte der HTPCs sowie ITX Systeme bedient werden. Mit dem NH-L12 haben wir einen kompakten und durchaus potenten Kühler vorliegen, der in fast jedem Gehäuse Platz finden wird. Ob sich dies negativ auf die Leistung niederschlägt, klären wir im nachfolgenden Testbericht.
Noctua is back in the house. It’s always good to have them here. We appreciate the work and effort that is put into these cooler designs and their build quality. Although some of the designs or color schemes might not speak to everyone, the performance is far from lackluster. Noctua is a respectable contender on both fronts. We will be looking at the Noctua NH-L12 today. The Noctua NH-L12 is a top-down low-profile CPU cooler geared towards the small spaces such as HTPC’s and other small form factor scenarios. With a total height of just under 100mm this cooler could even be used in a 3U server rack.
