Noctua NH-D15S chromax.black

The all-black version of the legendary NH-D15S cooler, specifically designed for those who appreciate the performance of Noctua's flagship solutions but are not ready to settle for the signature beige-brown color scheme. With all system components, including the radiator, fan, mounting hardware, and anti-vibration pads, crafted in a unified dark style, the cooler seamlessly fits into modern builds focused on minimalism and a commitment to classic color combinations.

The Noctua NH-D15S chromax.black retains the original's architecture, including the asymmetric dual-tower radiator and a single 140-mm NF-A15 fan with SSO2 magnetic bearings, providing efficient cooling at a minimal noise level. Like the original, this model comes with the SecuFirm2 mounting system, NT-H1 thermal paste, and supports current Intel and AMD sockets, including LGA 1700 and AM5.

The specifications remain at the same high level: the cooler handles CPUs with a TDP of up to 167 W (as per NSPR methodology) while ensuring excellent compatibility with tall memory modules and graphics cards in the first PCIe slot. With a wide PWM range (300 – 1500 RPM), the cooler operates almost silently in normal modes and retains performance reserves under load. The noise level at maximum speed is 25 dB, reinforcing Noctua's reputation for creating quiet coolers.

The height of 160 mm and weight of 1150 grams simplify installation compared to flagship models, and the asymmetric radiator is beneficial if overclocking RAM modules with tall heatsinks are installed in the system. Additionally, unlike the original model, the chromax.black version is equipped with mounting hardware for AMD AM5 and Intel LGA 1851 sockets right out of the box. The official manufacturer's warranty is 5 years.
