    The NH-D15 G2 is the further improved second generation of Noctuas iconic NH-D15. With its state-of-the-art, speed-offset NF-A14x25r G2 PWM fans, eight heatpipes and asymmetrical fin-stacks that have been carefully fine-tuned to work in tandem with the new fans, it achieves even better quiet cooling performance than its award-winning predecessor. As such, the G2 version is a true flagship model that continues the legacy of the original NH-D15 by pushing the boundaries of air cooling and rivalling the efficiency of many all-in-one (AIO) water cooling solutions. In addition to its further improved performance, the NH-D15 G2 also offers enhanced compatibility thanks to an offset construction that allows it to clear the top PCIe x16 slot on most current motherboards. Last but not least, the G2 version has been upgraded to the Torx-based SecuFirm2+ multi-socket mounting system with included NM-SD1 screwdriver as well as to Noctuas superior NT-H2 thermal compound.

    More performance, smaller size

    Thanks to the higher fin density made possible by the new NF-A14x25r G2 fans as well as the asymmetrical fin-stacks and a slightly smaller gap between the stacks, the G2 version combines improved performance with a slightly smaller size compared to the original NH-D15 (9mm less heatsink depth, same heatsink width, same total height including fans).

    Dual NF-A15 140mm fans

    The NH-D15 G2 utilises eight instead of six heatpipes compared to the original NH-D15. The increased thermal capacity of the extra heatpipes is especially helpful at extreme heat-loads such as 250W and beyond, where the performance boost over the original NH-D15 is the biggest.

    Two NF-A14x25r G2 fans

    Noctuas next-generation NF-A14x25r G2 fans set a new benchmark for performance-to-noise efficiency in round-frame 140mm fans. Their superb acoustics as well as their superior airflow and pressure characteristics are one of the cornerstones that enable the NH-D15 G2 to push beyond its legendary predecessor.

    NT-H2 next-gen thermal compound

    For customers who want the best of the best in air cooling, every degree counts. This is why the NH-D15 G2 includes a tube of Noctuas next-generation NT-H2 thermal compound that provides even better performance than the award-winning NT-H1, allowing to achieve the best possible cooling results.

    The Noctua NH-D15 G2 is a high-performance dual-tower air CPU cooler with eight heatpipes and two 140mm PWM fans, suited to powerful AMD AM5 or Intel LGA1851/LGA1700 builds that need quiet cooling under heavy workloads.

    Recommended For

    • PC builders running a high-heat desktop CPU under sustained gaming, rendering, or other CPU-heavy workloads who want top-tier air-cooling performance without moving to an AIO liquid cooler.
    • Noise-conscious desktop users who spend long hours gaming or working and want strong cooling from a large dual-tower air cooler with fan-speed controls for quieter operation.
    • AMD AM5 builders who want a premium air cooler with an included offset mounting option intended to improve cooling alignment on supported CPUs.
    • Builders prioritizing air cooling and a large thermal headroom over a smaller, easier-to-fit cooler, especially when their case and motherboard have been checked for compatibility.

    Real-World Use Scenarios

    • When a desktop is used for long CPU-heavy jobs such as rendering, compiling, or encoding, the NH-D15 G2 provides high-end air cooling; independent testing found it competitive among air coolers under sustained 200 W loads.
    • For a gaming PC that also handles occasional CPU-heavy tasks, the large dual-tower cooler can help manage heat without requiring its fans to run at maximum speed all the time; a review noted that its cooling headroom can keep noise lower than with smaller heatsinks under load.
    • When building or upgrading an AM5 desktop, users can install the standard version with its included offset mounting to optimize cooler contact; Noctua identifies this as a recommended setup for the standard NH-D15 G2.
    • For an Intel LGA1700 build, users can install the included shim washers to reduce socket pressure on the CPU; Noctua recommends this configuration for the standard version, while noting that results depend on the CPU and installation setup.
    • When fitting the cooler into a desktop build, users should check case height and memory clearance before installation: the two-fan setup is intended for standard-height RAM, while removing the front fan can make room for taller modules with a modest cooling trade-off.
