Our take on the Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black

The NH-D15 chromax.black is Noctua's flagship dual-tower air cooler, here in an all-black finish instead of the usual beige and brown. It uses two 140 mm NF-A15 PWM fans, six heatpipes and a 1500 rpm top speed, rated at about 25 dB. It trades blows with 240–280 mm liquid coolers on noise-normalized cooling while avoiding pump noise and leak risk, but it is huge: about 6.5 inches tall and 46.6 oz, with tight RAM clearance under the front fan. It suits high-end builds where quiet cooling matters more than interior space.

Best forQuiet high-end gaming and workstation buildsOverclocked CPUs that need air coolingBuyers who want to avoid liquid cooling pumps and leaksBlack-themed builds that skip Noctua's classic colors
Pros
  • Cooling performance close to 240–280 mm AIO liquid coolers
  • Very quiet at idle and moderate loads thanks to the two 140 mm PWM fans
  • Six heatpipes and a dual-tower design handle high heat loads
  • All-black finish suits dark builds
  • Long socket support list, including AM4 and LGA 115x/2011/2066
  • No pump to fail, no coolant to leak
Cons
  • Very large: about 6.5 in tall and 46.6 oz, so case clearance is a real check
  • Front fan can block tall RAM, and it must be raised or removed
  • Heavy, which stresses the motherboard during installation
  • Installation is fiddly compared with some rivals
  • No RGB lighting

What reviewers say

  • 4.8 / 52,642 ratings

Owners rate it very highly, calling it one of the best air coolers made and praising its quiet operation and cooling. Most complaints are about its size, RAM clearance and the effort of mounting it.

What people mention
  • NoisePraisedOwners say it stays very quiet even under load, well below what the fans' 1500 rpm ceiling suggests.
  • CoolingPraisedReviewers report temperatures close to 240–280 mm liquid coolers on high-wattage CPUs.
  • SizeCriticisedBuyers warn that it is very tall and wide and needs a large case and careful clearance checks.
  • RAM clearanceCriticisedThe front fan overhangs tall memory, so owners often raise it or remove it, which adds height.
  • InstallationMixedSome find the mounting straightforward, while others call it fiddly and awkward in tight cases.
  • BuildPraisedOwners describe the heatsink and fans as sturdy and long-lasting.

Questions and answers

Is the NH-D15 chromax.black as good as a liquid cooler?
It cools close to 240–280 mm AIO liquid coolers on most CPUs and is quieter than many of them. It cannot match a 360 mm AIO on the hottest chips, but it has no pump to fail.
Will it fit my case and RAM?
It is about 6.5 inches tall, so check your case's CPU cooler clearance. The front fan can overhang tall RAM, and raising it adds height.
Which sockets does it support?
It lists AM2 through AM4 and FM1/FM2, plus Intel LGA 1150, 1151, 1155, 1156, 2011, 2011-3 and 2066. Newer sockets need a separate mounting kit from Noctua.
How many fans does it include?
Two 140 mm NF-A15 PWM fans are included, and both are PWM-controlled up to 1500 rpm.
Is it worth it over the standard NH-D15?
Cooling is the same; the chromax.black version is purely a color change for dark builds. Choose it if you want the black look, otherwise the standard version performs identically.
Does it come with thermal paste?
Yes, Noctua includes its NT-H1 thermal paste and mounting hardware in the box.
Where is the Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black cheapest?
At Newegg, for $137.99, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black?
Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 2,642 ratings.
