Description

Noctua's premium cooling components are internationally renowned for their superb quietness, exceptional performance and quality. Noctua’s flagship model NH-D15 has become a benchmark for elite-class dual tower coolers. The SE-AM4 version is a dedicated special edition for AMD’s AM4/AM5 (Ryzen) platform featuring the latest SecuFirm2 mounting system for AM4/AM5. Topped off with two of the renowned quiet NF-A15 PWM 140mm fans and Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-D15 SE-AM4 forms a complete premium-quality solution that represents a deluxe choice for both overclockers and silent enthusiasts who strive to tune their AM4/AM5 systems to the max. As compared to conventional single tower heatinks, the NH-D15's fine-tuned six heatpipe dual tower design provides more surface area, better heat-distribution and superior airflow efficiency in dual fan mode. Thanks to its recessed lower fins, the NH-D15 provides 64mm clearance for tall memory heatsinks in single fan mode, making it compatible with most high end RAM modules on the market. In dual fan mode, the NH-D15 should be used with standard height RAM (up to 32mm). In chassis with more than 165mm CPU cooler clearance, the front fan can be moved upwards to make room for memory modules taller than 32mm. The NH-D15 features two of Noctua's premium class NF-A15 140mm fans. Complying with Noctua's AAO standard and featuring sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A15 has quickly built up a reputation as one of the best 140mm fans on the market. Noctua's much-acclaimed NT-H1 is a well proven pro-grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease-of-use and outstanding reliability, which makes it suitable for use in professional server and workstation environments. Copper (base and heat-pipes), aluminium (cooling fins), soldered joints & nickel plating Please note that being a dedicated special edition for AM4/AM5, the NH-D15 SE-AM4 comes with AM4/AM5 mounting hardware only. The NH-D15 SE-AM4 brings the N-D15's signature quiet cooling performance to AMD's AM4/AM5 platform. With its supreme capacity at extreme heat loads, it allows overclockers to push their AMD systems to the limit and silent enthusiasts to run the fans at super-low speed.

Keeps my 2700x incredibly cool!
This is, without a doubt, the greatest air cooler I have ever used. My temperatures are ridiculously low, and I will give you a full synopsis later detailing the stress tests that I have run along with the max temps I have seen. *Packaging* Noctua gets an A+ for their packaging of this cooler. Everything is extremely organized, labeled, and they include plenty of styrofoam padding (cut perfectly to fit whatever they are cushioning) to keep things secure. *Quality* The product screams quality. The heatsink itself is massive, heavy, and durable. The included fans are beautifully designed and heavy duty, yet extremely quiet. The fan cables have thick covers on them to prevent any damage, and Noctua even includes a fan splitter cable and extensions to help the fans reach your motherboard header! *Installation* Installation was easy, but you have to make a choice on which direction you want to mount the unit. I have mine mounted horizontally (parallel to my graphics card), with the fans blowing toward the top of my case. I recommend this direction strongly, as it not only helps with any potential ram issues, BUT it gives you a huge advantage in cooling because you can then mount other intake case fans which then blast the heatsink and fins from the front of the case. In other words, I've got the Noctua fans driving air through the bottom of the unit toward top of case. I've got intake fans blasting the cooler from the right-hand side. I've got an exhaust fan pulling air toward back of case, and I've got two top exhaust fans also pulling air toward top of case. I'm hitting the Noctua with air in two directs (bottom and from the right), whereas the other two directions are pulling air out (left and top of case). *Noise levels* What noise? Seriously - I cannot hear the fans even at full speed. The loudest things in my case are my old HDD and my graphics card fan when it gets on full blast (1070ti). But this CPU cooler is silent. *Warranty* Noctua includes, IIRC, a 6-year warranty on their product. This is unparalleled in the CPU cooling world, but it is because they make the highest quality products and stand behind them. *Performance* Are you ready for the numbers? I have run gobs of stress tests and the results are stunning. I use HWInfo (tdie) temps or HWmon which report the same numbers. Test - Max Temperature Aida64 for 10 minutes - 50c Cinebench - 58c Prime95 (small FFTs for maximum heat) for 20 minutes - 69c Idle temps are around 29c. Day-to-day use keeps me in the 35c-45c range (chrome with lots of tabs, excel open, etc.) If I am gaming (playing Overwatch on epic settings), I can hover around 39c! 39c while gaming and listening to music in the background is pretty stellar in my opinion. I am also particularly impressed with the Aida64 stress test - this was 100% cpu usage for 10 minutes and the max temp was 50c. It is far and away the most realistic stress test, as prime95 temps will never happen in the real-world. *How to maximize performance / My setup* I use a full ATX case. I have a total of 9 fans inside my case, which I will explain now: 4 fans push air from front of case to back of case (intake fans) 2 Noctua fans push air through heatsink fins from bottom to top of case 1 exhaust fan pulling air out back of case 2 exhaust fans pulling air out top of case The important factor is to target all the air in one or two directions. Intake is very important - you want air rushing into your case, and you want more intake fans than exhaust. Bear in mind, despite 9 total fans my rig is virtually silent. You can tell it is on, but just barely. If gaming / listening to music or wearing headphones, you hear nothing. The key is to maximize air intake and to target the Noctua device. Use just a dab of thermal paste (I used the included Noctua paste) in the center and then gently install the Noctua on top of your CPU. I no longer believe in anything other than the dab of paste in the center (no spread it around, no X pattern, etc.). People use way too much thermal paste, too. Just a little tiny dot, smaller than the size of a pea in my opinion, is good. *My rig* Phanteks Enthoo Pro Series PH-ES614P_BK Black Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case ASRock X470 Master SLI/AC AM4 AMD Promontory X470 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Processor with Noctua DH-15 Team Dark Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Geforce 1070ti 8 GB ADATA Ultimate SU650 3D NAND 2.5" 480 GB SSD Thermaltake Smart Pro RGB 750W PSU 80 Plus Bronze Fully Modular Power Supply upHere Computer Case Fan 120mm LED Silent Fan Triple Pack Colorful Case Fan (just some of the fans in my rig) ... show more

Its the small things that really matter ... 5 stars
My full experience + word on ram and case compatibility. (Will update as time goes on, go below for updates) My Specs: Case: H440 Board: Asus VI hero am4 CPU: Ryzen 1800x I'l start off by saying the moment you see the box at your door, it just looks like quality. The box's outside graphics are sharp and the texture is the quality that you find on water resistant boxes, this is an important and often overlooked part of a purchase experience. Opening the box you'l find everything (+ THERMAL PASTE) neatly and densely packed inside with no room to wiggle which ensures good shipping protection and efficiency, its what I'd compare to "Apple product boxing", 5 stars there. Each box is labeled with whats inside, with BY FAR the best and clearest instructions you'l ever receive printed on premium glossy paper. Quality instructions with detailed photos and step by step guides that include more info then just the basics, but tips as well for beginners. Lastly the hardware itself, well built and tested by many, this air cooler is on par or better than AIO liquid coolers. Its the best and safest air cooler to go with, granted you have the space for it in your case. It is very large. Something worth noting is since the fins are cut at the bottoms for ram compatibility, it made the perfect holding area for my fingers for picking up and placing the cooler down on the CPU, it might be a coincidence but you'l find it very useful and wont cut up your fingers bad like with all those other air coolers. I have no problems with CPU temps 30s in idle and 60s-low 70 extreme load, high 50s in normal gaming conditions. No worries there. Color theme: I can't knock a star off and blame noctua on this, they have been using this tan/brown color theme for a LONG time, so its no surprise to anyone but it most likely will not fit any color theme out there. If you're all about the look of your PC and use a window, you can save some money and order the 1 fan version of this cooler, then just replace the fans. I personally have no window, so my case is all black all sides so it doesn't matter what the inside looks like. * RAM Compatibility - I was using corsair dominator platinum ram, some of the tallest on the market and the cpu cooler fins clear the top by about third of an inch - more than i thought it would. This CPU cooler will certainly clear any ram you may use. HOWEVER, due to my ram height, I could not mount the fan over the ram because the height of the ram was pushing the fan into my case panel so i couldn't close it, so I had to place the 2nd fan on the other side in the rear near the exhaust, which is okay, but keep in mind shorter ram will allow you to put the fan over top of it and have clearance in most mid tower cases (deff in h440 cases). GPU Compatibility - Check Noctua website for the long list of motherboard compatibility, it will explain this and covers 99% of EVERY motherboard out there. Normal air or blower style GPUs will fit fine in 1st PCIE slot with the air cooler sitting very close to the back plate, although if you have water cooling where the tubes come out the the GPU (upwards towards CPU) it will not fit, but then again i dont see why someone would air cool cpu and water cool a gpu, they would probably water cool both and this wouldn't apply anyways. CONCLUSION: If you have the space for it and don't mind the classic noctua brown, this is the best quality CPU air cooler you'l find for this price. 5 star quality inside and out, from the box, packaging, instructions, and the hardware. 05-12-2017 UPDATE: In pull configuration with these fans, they are very noisy due to the turbulence from the cooler fins so close. I found out these were more designed for PUSH not pull. Its very noisy in pull so do not arrange them that way. 05-13-2017 UPDATE: Despite only running 1 fan in the center in push towards the rear exhaust, i get 72 Celsius max at 100% load on all cores for 10 minutes. It appears this cooler only needs one fan to function well and the 2nd is optional. 05-15-2017 UPDATE: Honestly after using it for a week and having to move some things around, it really is a headache to try to move around this giant cooler. My h440 case space inside is very tight because there's a hardrive wall on the right side, so if you have a h440 i do not recommend this cooler. I pretty much cant work on the inside unless i take the cooler off. I feel like notcua could have made it a little smaller and it would have performed the same or so close it wouldnt matter the difference. Overall still a 5 star cooler, but will give you some headaches due to its size, but all the specs are listed, size and all on the website so i cant knock a start because its out there. I think im going to try switching the orientation front the side ways to vertical and blow the air out the top of the case and see how that works. ... show more

Just the facts
I will try to keep it short. I had been on laptops for 6 years because I had a need for portability that outstripped all other concerns. Recently, that requirement ended so I set out to build the best possible PC within reason. AIO's had piqued my curiosity and thought the NZXT Kraken x62 would be the best cooling solution for my 2700x. It was problematic for several reasons the biggest being noise profile. The pump noise was grating to me. Now, the computer had been built so quiet that scratching my arm at full load would overcome the noise from the pump but it was severely irritating, especially if I wasn't gaming and the video card didn't have its fan running. The long and short of it, is short of manual overclocking the 2700x manually to 4.3ghz all core which had a HWinfo reported 230w CPU and SoC draw, the NH-D15 SE-AM4 was capable of running with the x62. With Performance Enhancer Level 2 enabled, I hit the same core clocks as the x62. The only differences are: The NH-D15 is so quiet in operation that I have to physically put my ear on the case to hear it and its swapped NF-a12x25 fans at full load (Prime 95 small FFT, Folding@home CPU work units) or lightly loaded (gaming like FFXV, web browsing, etc.) where the fan noise was always there with the NZXT. In worst case scenario loading at PE level 2 the CPU runs at a max of 68c vs 64c for the x62. Both configurations yield a 4.190ghz all core clock. I could never come up with a fan profile with the stock NZXT Aer P fans or a swapped (as pictured and MUCH quieter than the AER P) NF-a14 fan push-pull, push, or pull that kept the temps below 70c and silent fully loaded. The NH-D15 is just silent with the NF-A12x25 fans for all scenarios In the lighter loading situations, the D15 runs cooler and is much less likely to down clock off of the multi-but-not-all-core autoclock of 4.34ghz. The overall computer performance in light usage often would be snappier in varying situations indefinitely vs the x62 havign a drop off in peak quickness within 5-10 seconds of usage and autclocks down to the 4.2 range. In manual overclocking is where the NH-D15 with my particular copy of the 2700x falls (barely) short of an AIO in absolute performance. My guess is it’s the surface area of the CPU die under the heatspreader and the availability of heat pipes directly over that contact patch that is the root cause of the difference but this is speculation. What is observed and repeatable fact is the D15 would just run notably hotter than the x62 in CPU+SoC Watt loads above 150w. As the watt load ramped up, so did the gap between the x62 and D15. This isn't too fresh in memory but iirc 4.2ghz would see 170w+ sucked down and mid 70s C on the D15 where the Kraken x62 would maybe get to high 60s. @4.3ghz manual and a whopping 230w consumed (HWinfo+ a couple weeks past the test runs) the 2700x stayed 100% stable but would be 84c-87c where the x62 might hit 75 but was most often around 70c. @the never stable for me 4.35ghz and 265w consumed before it would freeze the x62 would never approach 80c where the system would hard shut down and off with the NH-D15. Overall, I prefer run with silence and power consumption that will last the ages to a maximum-speed-a-smidge-longer-death-run config and consider the NH-D15 the clear winner in all around performance. This of course is excepting people who should probably be running closed loop with water chillers. Pure silence and all this power with indefinite 4.34 multicore clock snappiness in web browsing beats the pants off of the x62's pump noise, quick to downclock in light loading aspect, and very, very slight specter of one day leaking. Add to that the NH-D15 SE-AM4 was way easier to install than an AIO, I ask why bother with anything else? ... show more

Just Amazing!
Ok, this thing is awesome! First let me say I managed to mount this beast with both fans inside a Corsair 100R computer case on a Asus X370-Pro motherboard with a Ryzen 1800X CPU. I also mounted two G970 G1 Gaming video cards in SLI as well. Does it fit? Yes it does! I am absolutely amazed at how quiet it is. I have another system with liquid cooling that is loud compared to this setup and it is rather quiet itself. Like others have mentioned I had to look to be sure the fans were running. The fans are 1.57 watt max power each which is very low power consumption and can easily run on most motherboards from one 4 pin connector. The unit comes with plenty of power cables to connect one fan or two to a single motherboard power connector and it even comes with speed reduction cables in case you want the fans to run even slower/quieter than they already are (believe me you won't need to slow them down at all...they are whisper quiet). At idle the CPU runs at 34C. Haven't tested it under max load yet but I doubt it will be as high as my liquid cooling setup on my other system. There are two bracket sets to choose from. If you have space concerns where the heat pipes will touch or come close to the RAM cards then you will want to use the shorter mounting brackets which will position the fans to blow horizontal. This is the method I used to mount this cooler and it easily cleared the RAM module. A word of warning to anyone putting a system together: Be sure all your power cable runs and any other connections needed are completed before mounting this cooler. It will block access to a significant portion of the motherboard so route those power cables/SATA cables, etc. first. I will update this review after some extreme video testing and post the results for max CPU temperature reached during testing. My overall opinion of this cooler is "Outstanding!". A must buy for anyone wanting extreme cooling without resorting to liquid cooling. ... show more

Great cooler, a tiny bit of a pain to install
Fantastic. I was able to drop my temps around 15 degrees C compared to the stock wraith spire. Running my ryzen processor at 3.8 ghz at 60 degrees C during prime95 stress testing. On Idle it's running around 30-35. Playing PUBG or Overwatch on max settings my processor is running around mid-high 40s to lower 50s. I've attached some Ryzen Master tests I ran for temps, HWmonitor also presented the same information. You can see that even clocked a little higher (3.8 ghz), the Noctua was still 10 degrees cooler than when I was using the Wraith Spire. Don't get me wrong, the Wraith Spire is a great cooler for being stock, but I was able to run cooler with a higher overclock with the Noctua - as one would expect in a stock vs aftermarket cooler comparison. The only downside is the slight difficulty of install, I had some trouble lining up the heatsink with the brackets. You can see in my photos that this cooler is gigantic and I ended up putting the fans in the center and rear of the cooler while have it exhausting through the rear of my case. With the fan on the very front, it did hit my ram (Corsair LPX). When I finally got it on, realized I'm dumb and that it would be near impossible to plug in my fan headers with the heatsink on. So I had to take it off, plug in the fan headers, and put it back on after resetting the TIM. So definitely keep that in mind when installing! I will say it's far easier to install than the Hyper 212 I installed on an older rig. Also a big plus, it comes with a generous supply of Noctua thermal paste. I ended up using it both on my cpu and replacing the original paste on my gpu. Now my graphics card runs a bit cooler. ... show more

As good as my old AIO Water Cooler
Pros: As far as performance, it is doing a great job keeping my Ryzen 5 1600x cool while gaming but my case has lots of in-flowing air due to multiple 120mm case fans so your mileage may vary. While not perfectly silent, it's really quiet and shouldn't be noticeable to most people. During gaming sessions my processor never heats up above 41c, and that's with a mild overclock using Ryzen Master. That's right on par with my old AIO water cooler, before it leaked all over my video card! Installation was a breeze! Seriously, I don't understand how anyone could have trouble discerning the instructions. It even uses the original backplate so you don't even need to remove the motherboard to install it. It took me 10 minutes to have it installed and running. Cons: This thing is HUGE. No, you don't understand until you see it in person. It takes up every bit of free space in my case and I'm using an Antec Lanboy Air case which is a pretty big case. I had to change the fan orientation to 'pull' as 'push' orientation wouldn't fit due to one of the fans being blocked by my memory heat-sinks, but that was no biggie and it wasn't hard. Maybe the biggest con is the absolutely AWFUL paint job on these Noctua fans. Why on earth aren't they black or white or red or something that works inside a modern-day case? Barf-beige and poop-brown just doesn't go with my color theme. But I knew this going in so I won't take a star away because of it. ... show more

The air cooler to buy!
This thing is huge, but in a good way! If you're looking to buy it, ensure you have a big enough case for it. Having said that, with 150mm fans, it does move a lot of hot air and keeps the CPU cool enough. I have CPU temps at 29 degrees C idle and have been able to overclock the CPU to 3.725GHz (AMD Ryzen 7 1700) at 1.275V. My stress test in AIDA64 Extreme was running at 66 degrees C, which I ran for 4 hours. If you're not going to buy a liquid cooler (at least 240mm fans), this is the cooler to buy. Taking off one star because the fans runs at 1200rpm max. This helps keep the cooler really quiet, but may hamper reaching maximum potential from an overclocking perspective. I was really hoping to get to 3.8GHz at less than 70 degrees C after running the stress test for 40 hours, however, I can't that to happen (I do realize there are multiple reasons for that, but I would thing a good cooler should allow me to achieve that). ... show more

It's the best air cooler period
Dual 140mm fans do exactly what you'd expect from noctua, top tier cooling and quiet as can be under max load test. Ryzen 7 5800x is stable at 75c on kombuster CPU burner for 5 minutes. I used the noctua thermal paste that came with it and it is better than corsair's tm30 paste by a few degrees celsius. Might have even better temps with thermal grizzly but I haven't tried it yet myself. Overall you can't ask much more from an air cooler, my buddy's aio water cooled system is almost a clone of my system component wise and it's way louder sitting beside it cause you have added pump noises that are high pitched and that bothers me a lot. Happy with my results overall and wouldn't change anything. For anyone interested, I'm using Corsair vengeance ram and the 140mm fan clears it fine in the front. ... show more
