chromax.black design
The NH-D15S chromax.black is black from head to toe: featuring a
black coated heatsink, 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.
High-compatibility version of NH-D15
Compared to the award-winning NH-D15, the S-version uses an off-set,
asymmetrical layout and a single instead of dual NF-A15 fans. This
allows the NH-D15S to provide state-of-the-art heatsink performance
while maintaining superior RAM and PCIe compatibility.
Excellent RAM compatibility
Thanks to its recessed lower fins, the NH-D15S provides 65mm
clearance for RAM with tall heatspreaders or RGB illumination,
making it compatible with most high-end modules on the market. As
the lower fins are recessed on both sides of the heatsink,
compatibility is excellent not only on LGA115x and AMD, but also on
LGA20xx where there are RAM slots on both sides of the socket.
Asymmetrical layout for better PCIe compatibility
As many current motherboards have the top PCIe x16 slot sitting
close to the socket, bigger heatsinks tend to block it. Due to its
asymmetrical layout, the fin-stack of the NH-D15S is off-set towards
the upper edge of the motherboard when installed in standard
orientation. This allows it to clear the top PCIe x16 slot on most
current µATX and ATX motherboards.*
NF-A15 140mm fan
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.
Dual-fan ready
Using the supplied extra fan clips, the NH-D15S can be upgraded with
either a second round-frame 140mm fan with 120mm mounting holes
(such as the NF-A15) for maximum performance or a common 120mm fan
(such as the NF-F12) for improving performance while maintaining
compatibility with RAM modules of up to 45mm height.
PWM support and Low-Noise Adaptor
The NF-A15 premium fan supplied with the NH-D15S supports PWM for
convenient automatic speed control through the motherboard. In
addition, the maximum fan speed can be reduced from 1500 to 1200rpm
using the supplied Low-Noise Adaptor for even quieter operation.
Excellent component cooling
Extending below the fin-stacks, the large NF-A15 fan not only
contributes to the superb CPU cooling capabilities of the NH-D15S
but also provides massive airflow over surrounding motherboard
components and heatsinks, thus ensuring excellent component cooling
performance.
SecuFirm2™ multi-socket mounting system
Noctua’s SecuFirm2™ mounting systems have become synonymous with
quality, safety and easy installation. Supporting Intel LGA115x
(LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155, LGA1156), LGA1200 and LGA20xx (LGA2066,
LGA2011-0, LGA2011-3), as well as AMD AM4, AM3(+), AM2(+), FM2(+)
and FM1, the SecuFirm2™ mounting included with the NH-D15S is
straightforward to install, provides perfect contact pressure and
will stand the test of time even under heavy use.
Compatibility with past and future sockets
Thanks to Noctua’s SecuFirm™ ecosystem, the NH-D15S can be made
compatible with the older LGA1366 and LGA775 sockets using the
optional NM-I3
mounting kit, which is provided free of charge. If technically
possible, Noctua will also provide upgrade kits for future sockets,
which makes the NH-D15S a safe long-term investment.
NT-H1 thermal compound
Noctua’s much-acclaimed NT-H1 is a pro-grade TIM solution that
provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease of use and
outstanding reliability. Chosen again and again by overclockers and
enthusiast users worldwide, it has established itself as a benchmark
for premium-quality thermal compounds.
Soldered interface between heatpipes and fins
With many heatsinks, the fins are press-fitted to the heatpipes. Due
to the different thermal expansion coefficients of copper and
aluminium, this fit can loosen over years of thermal cycling, which
may lead to reduced performance. By contrast, the NH-D15S’s fins are
soldered to the heatpipes in order to guarantee a superior thermal
interface that doesn’t deteriorate even after many years of usage.
6-year manufacturer’s warranty
Noctua products are renowned for their impeccable quality and
outstanding longevity. Like all Noctua fans, the supplied NF-A15
features an MTTF rating of more than 150,000 hours and the entire
NH-D15S package comes with a full 6-year manufacturer’s warranty.
