Noctua NH-D15S chromax.black, 140 mm CPU Cooler

The NH-D15S chromax.black is an asymmetrical dual-tower CPU cooling solution designed to transfer thermal energy efficiently using six 6mm diameter heat pipes. The heatsink structure, fins, and baseplate utilize nickel-plated copper and aluminum components, finished entirely in black for neutral integration into system builds. This configuration is engineered primarily to maximize RAM and PCIe slot clearance, mitigating potential interference often associated with large form factor air coolers. The single-fan design emphasizes effective heat dissipation across a range of thermal loads while maintaining physical compatibility with adjacent motherboard hardware.

Cooling performance is provided by a single 140mm fan, featuring a rotational speed range from 300 RPM up to 1500 RPM. The fan utilizes Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) functionality, enabling automatic speed adjustments driven by CPU temperature readings. Maximum acoustic output is constrained to 24.6 dB, dropping to 19.2 dB during minimal operation. The unit maintains broad socket compatibility, supporting modern platforms such as AM5, AM4, LGA1700, and LGA1851. With a total height of 160mm, users must verify adequate vertical chassis clearance prior to installation.
