PWM support and Low-Noise Adaptors
The NF-A15 premium fans supplied with the NH-D15 support 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 Adaptors for even quieter operation.
Excellent component cooling
Extending below the fin-stacks, the large NF-A15 fans not only contribute to the NH-D15's superb CPU cooling capabilities but also provide massive airflow over surrounding motherboard components and heatsinks, thus ensuring excellent component cooling performance
SecuFirm2™ mounting system
Noctua's SecuFirm2™ mounting systems have become synonymous with quality, safety and ease of use. Supporting Intel LGA1200, LGA115x (LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155, LGA1156), LGA2011, LGA2066 and AMD (AM4 (since 2019), AM3(+), AM2(+), FM1, FM2(+)), the SecuFirm2™ mounting included with the NH-D15 guarantees perfect contact pressure and maximum convenience on all current sockets.
Compatibility with past and future sockets
Complying with the open SecuFirm™ standard, the NH-D15 can be made compatible with the older LGA1366 and LGA775 sockets using the optional NM-I3 mounting kit, which is provided by Noctua free of charge. If technically possible, Noctua will also provide upgrade kits for future sockets.
NT-H1 thermal compound
Noctua's much-acclaimed NT-H1 is a well proven pro-grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease-of-use and outstanding reliability, which makes it suitable for use in professional server and workstation environments.
Soldered interface between heatpipes and fins

Frequently asked questions
1. What is the radiator size of the NOCTUA NH-D15 CH.BK Chromax Black ARGB?
The NOCTUA NH-D15 CH.BK is not built with a single, wide radiator as in the case of a liquid cooler, but with a dual-tower heat sink design. It comes with two separate heavy-charge fin stacks that provide heat-dissipation surfaces. The overall dimensions with fans are about 165mm in height, 150mm in width, and 161mm in depth. This dual tower means a superb increase in the area of dispersion for heat, which provides for excellent air-cooling performance. Users must have ample room for the above dimensions in their case.
2. Does the NOCTUA NH-D15 CH.BK Chromax Black ARGB come with thermal paste?
Yes. Noctua supplies their celebrated NT-H1 thermal compound alongside the NH-D15 CH.BK. This quality thermal paste will enable proper heat transfer from the CPU to the cooler's base. It is supplied in a small syringe which is enough for multiple applications, convenient with free thermal paste. The NT-H1 is long-lived and is the subject of numerous praises from participants who recognize its potential to improve cooler output in general.
3. What is the TDP of NOCTUA NH-D15 CH.BK Chromax Black ARGB?
Noctua has not disclosed an exact TDP (Thermal Design Power) figure for the NH-D15 CH.BK. Instead, they emphasize the lavish cooling known for it, claiming that it could cool the most demanding CPUs, even at very high overclocking frequencies. TDP is actually very misleading because the real-world heat output produced by a CPU differs significantly. The dual-towered construction of the NH-D15 CH.BK stacks high-performance fans. This can deal with quite large heat loads. Independent reviews have testified as to the cooling capabilities of the main chip under heavy load and high-wattage processor.
4. How big is NOCTUA NH-D15 CH.BK Chromax Black ARGB?
The NOCTUA NH-D15 CH.BK is a hefty CPU cooler. Specifically, it stands around 165mm above, 150mm wide, and 161mm deep from the fan. Users must validate the volume metrics on the PC case, in that way enough clearance of it accepts the cooler. Among all these dimensions; maximum sneakingly important will be height, where cut with corny cases interfere with side panels. Then width and depth will also govern compatibility over other components on the motherboard, like RAM modules.
5. Is the NOCTUA NH-D15 CH.BK Chromax Black ARGB Single Tower or dual Tower?
The NOCTUA NH-D15 CH.BK is a dual-tower CPU cooler. This is an advanced version of the single-tower coolers because the two different towers hold their arrays of cooling blades. A double-structure design effectively triples the cooling area available on a single-tower cooler since massive dissipating surfaces are created. Superior cooling is rightfully considered a dual-tower design as more heat from the CPU gets into the air. In fact, the dual-tower mode is the main reason why the NH-D15 CH.BK is among the best air coolers in the world.
6. How many watts can a NOCTUA NH-D15 CH.BK Chromax Black ARGB handle?
The NOCTUA does not have a specific wattage rating for the NH-D15 CH.BK. Instead, they specify the ability of this unit to deal with powerful CPUs including those which may be overstressed. The functionality of said cooler is observed quite successfully when dealing with high heat loads while the computer is doing some work. The unusual construction of the two towel coolers and their good fans work to achieve their high cooling capacity. This thing can often cool most if not all high-end consumer CPUs so long as they are performing their best. This makes it a great solution for those who strive to bring the best out of their systems within a considerable safety envelope.
7. What is the rpm of NOCTUA NH-D15 CH.BK Chromax Black ARGB fan?
NOCTUA NH-D15 CH. BK comes equipped with an NF-A15 PWM fan. When operating, the fans are capable of rotating at a speed as low as 300 RPM and as high as 1500 RPM. This allows the user to strike a balance between silent operations and the provision of good cooling. At lower speeds of operation, the fans are almost inaudible and hence are greatly recommended for ordinary tasks. These fans can however rev up to their designed max of 1500 RPM to achieve the most cooling during High CPU loads. This unit can perform such a function by communicating to the motherboard, the CPU temperature and the duty cycle of the PWM signal ensuring the desired cooling is achieved.
8. Is NOCTUA NH-D15 CH.BK Chromax Black ARGB PWM or DC?
The fans that ship with the NOCTUA NH-D15 chromax.black are PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) fans, which allows you to have very precise control over the speed of the fan. The motherboard sends a signal to the PWM fan that modulates the power going to the fan, which then adjusts speed, depending on the temperature of the CPU. What this does is make the cooler work only as fast as necessary, causing it to make the least noise and also have better power consumption when the CPU goes idle. It's where you get the quietness and efficiency of the cooler.
9. Is NOCTUA NH-D15 CH.BK Chromax Black ARGB good enough?
Yes, the NOCTUA NH-D15 CH.BK is one of the top air coolers available. With its dual-tower design, very high-calibre NF-A15 fans, and excellent heat dispersal, it is suitable for even the most demanding CPUs. Both its performance and utter quiet operation have made it well known. It is also effective in absorbing the fiercest CPU load and is popular among those involved in overclocking as well as those looking for a maximum-performance system. With its efficiency together with its genuine and strong design, it has become one of the best choices for top-shelf air cooling.
10. Is NOCTUA NH-D15 CH.BK Chromax Black ARGB quiet?
It is one of the most silent coolers around, and it is very satisfactory to use. If you would check, Noctua's NF-A15 fans are very low-noise, and the new design of the cooler complements its silence. The whispers that also come from the presence of those fans usually maintain a very low profile even when the machine works under an extremely heavy load. The PWM control over its fans, granting the fans the chance to work under low-speed settings when the CPU remains idle, further endorses its quiet operation in real terms. Keeping up with special fan design, the NH-D15 CH.BK is an ideal choice for the most sought-after users- who prefer quieter computing above all else.
