Further improved second generation of the iconic, award-winning NH-D15: Even better quiet cooling performance thanks to 8 heatpipes, 20% more surface area and novel NF-A14x25r G2 fans!

All-black chromax version, ideal for AMD Ryzen (e.g. 9800X3D, 9950X3D, 9900X3D, 9950X, 7950X, 7800X3D, 5800X3D) and Intel Core or Core Ultra CPUs (e.g. 285K, 265K, 245K, 14900K, 13900K, 12900K)

Two state-of-the-art NF-A14x25r G2 140mm fans with speed-offset for acoustic fine-tuning, Low-Noise Adaptors and PWM for automatic speed control: maximum efficiency under load, near silent at idle!

Offset design with recessed lower fins clears top PCIe x16 on most current motherboards and offers 59mm RAM clearance in single fan mode (32mm with both fans, see Noctua Compatibility Centre)

Includes superior NT-H2 thermal paste and Torx-based SecuFirm2+ mounting system with NM-SD1 screwdriver for easy installation on AMD AM5 & AM4 as well as Intel LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200 & LGA115x
