- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Hello, this is the Provoked Prawn and this is a video on the Noctua Chromax Black NH-D15 CPU cooler. Here I'm installing the CPU tower cooler with an LGA 1700 socket on the Asus ROG MAXIMUS Z690 FORMULA motherboard with an Intel Core i9-12900K CPU. This is with a Fractal Design Torrent case ( • Fractal Design Torrent... ).
Here I'm showing you what's included with the cooler, how to install it, benchmark tests I got and more.

Note, benchmark testing was done with Cinebench R23, which is much more intensive than most other things you'd be doing. It runs hot, but I had the same issue with the Core i9-12900K in previous setups and if you Google you'll find it's a common thing.

Thank you. I haven't built a PC since Y2K. Things are a bit more complicated these days but thanks to you and others like you it is actually easier.
Glad I could help!
I have just installed Noctua NH-D15S black.chromax and paired it with 12700k b/c I prefer air-coolers, I suggest everyone to get S version and buy an additional 120mm fan because it has more clearance for RAM. I made a mistake and bought the 140mm version, it can still fit if you have a wider case but 120mm would fit easier. Since some of the ASUS motherboards have limited space due to heat sink cover (mine also, asus rog z690 f), the only thing you need to do is turn the air-cooler 180 degrees, also the fan when reinstalling, it needs to be turned 180 degrees for air to flow from front to back. With 12700k my idle temps are 25-30C, on heavier loads (gaming in MSFS2020, ARMA 3,) temp never exceeds 65C. Hope this helps.
Hey man, can you send me or upload a picture or video somewhere, I’m trying to see what that fan setup would look like in a case?
Thanks
@@tim2975 sure, send me an email address
Did you undervolt your CPU?
Hey, does the square plate of the noctua cover the entirety of the rectangular processor? 🤔
How is your fan curve?
Exactly the kind of video and delivery that's becoming more and more difficult to find these days. Trees and woods etc. A huge thanks for this informative video. Now off I go to my new build feeling just about ready! In my case Z690 Gigabyte Aurus Pro, i9-12900K and BeQuiet 601 case.
Thanks for the feedback. Good to know it's appreciated and useful!
@@TheProvokedPrawn That was the worst application of thermal paste I have ever seen.
Building my 1st pc this weekend (been gaming/working on pre builds for years) installing this cooler on an intel socket in a Fractal case so while there are a few things diff between our builds I really appreciate this video.
It’s an excellent guide!
Coincidentally, I've opted for the same cooler and case with my new build (albeit with the 12700k for the 30C drop in operating temps), so this video is going to come in handy. Cheers for uploading it. My RAM is a bit on the tall side at 44mm, but Noctua's compatibility tools say I should be able to position the second fan with 4mm to spare either side. Looking forward to getting cracking when the bits arrive. 🎉
I want same build, Freezer good ?
@@miguelcordobamarin1225 The Noctua? Yeah, so far no issues at all. Haven't tried overclocking yet, though.
Same here.
Did all the ram fit?
@@Danielokey8 Yup. As predicted, I needed to raise the fan on that side slightly, but there's more than enough room to do it. All works flawlessly.
Side note, I actually bought my NH-D15 2 years ago, so that means I needed to request an upgrade kit that they said they will ship for free, which is nice. I only wish I had checked that earlier because now my PC build is on hold indefinitely till I get that part. I thought I could work with what I have since the standoffs are in the right position, however the LGA1700 back plate has 4 screws and those heads interfere with the supplied plate, as it only has 3 holes to allow for those older sockets. So, I could either drill out my current which would most definitely void half a dozen warranties or wait for official part to arrive who knows when in the mail. Still, thanks for this video, it really did help, even though I couldn't finish my build today.
Does the D15 cover the whole CPU backplate? Also please tell me what is your temperature under load?
Used this video to install my Chromax Black..... perfect. First computer build and this video with others I watched help!
Glad to be of use 👍👍😎
Thanks, Prawn. I'm putting together my first self-built PC: i7-12700K on an ASUS Z-690P motherboard, cooled by this Noctua NH-D15. As you noted, it was a bit overwhelming when I first pulled the cooler out of its box! Your video really helped to clarify the Noctua instruction sheet and steered me away from a couple of errors I would likely have made. 🙂
The 12th series really run hot. Undervolting seems to help.
Same build here. How was the cooler fit and temp? Thanks
Thank you for this! I bought a used one and needed to get the LGA1700 socket kit. Got it off Amazon instead of trying to get it for free through Noctua just so I could expedite it cuz I was anxious to finish my build lol. Also made the mistake of placing the curved brackets on top of the rods upside down so the heat sink had nothing to screw into... so I had to redo that bit. Also ended up having to remove my GPU from the mobo to have enough room to get my hand around the side to secure the fan to the inside once the main heat sink was attached. I definitely agree that all the attachment bracket parts look a little overwhelming out of the box, so this video really made things clear. The cooler is working very well, and is very quiet!
LLpp
I have an NH-D15S cooling a Ryzen 7 7800X3D~ I also bought a second NF-A15 fan so it's basically a regular D15 at this point.
Been running this cooler since 2018 and it's absolutely amazing! No need for an AIO whatsoever. My case is Fractal Design Meshify 2.
The most complete and detailed video you can find ever. Everything is covered up in the most detailed version with explanations that further enhance the comprehension process. Thank you for the effort to film , explain , post-product this video. *bows with respect*
Very kind. Thank you
Paired this cooler with an 12700K on a ProArt Z790 motherboard. I actually left off the 2nd fan as I don’t need it and preferred the look without it totally covering up the ram. Great video. Easy to follow and to the point.
Glad to help
I'm pretty new to building computers but the thermal paste application didn't look correct. I have always applied a pea size in the centre. Am I wrong?
I'm here because I installed the back plate sideways! So I've learnt to install, uninstall, clean thermal paste and give myself a slap. Here now to make sure I do it right lol.
Building my first PC and this video helped so much when I opened the cooler all the pieces made it intimating but your video loved the step by step process you showed thank you!
Glad I could help!
Listening to you talk cured my insomnia, but the information I was looking for was on the mark, so good job.
Mission accomplished
Bless you Sir for your guide. It's harder to build a PC today compared to the last time I did it when I was admittedly much younger. I was overwhelmed until I saw your calm (non-distracting), useful presentation and showing the visual set-up in the beginning off the MB really helped. Hope you get the Thumbs Up that you deserve!
Thank you. Glad you found it helpful!
You have a really nice deep voice like radio voice and I like your reviews you keep it simple
Thank you. 🦐
Check out Blue microphones with Broadcaster 2 preset ;) adds magic to the voice ! ;)
This is exactly the video I was looking for. I bought the exact same cooler and an i5 12600k just yesterday
what do you think, is Noctua NH-D9DX i4 3U enough for 12600KF?
This cooler is overkill for a 12600k, but that’s your choice
I had no idea you could buy Noctua in any other color than beige and brown...learn something new every day.
I no this video is over a year old now but i can say this cooler is amazing, i am currently using this cooler to cool down my i9 13900kf and it keeps the cpu under 60c at a room temp of over 25c when gaming for hours at a time.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
@@TheProvokedPrawn your welcome, great video and this helped me loads when i did my build.
Great video! Building my first pc in about 10 years, and was told to purcahse this cooler. A little nervous about the size, I felt it was too heavy, but everything I read says it's fine as long as it's installed correctly. You make it look very easy.
Sir you're a Diamond. At first looked scary. Instruction manuals I cannot stand. your tutorial is perfect
Thank you. I appreciate this comment a lot. ❤️
@@TheProvokedPrawn Thing is ive just hit a problem. You have one cpu fan on the right. i cant do this as the ram is there and i wouldnt be able to close the side door. If i put it on the left it wont sync with rear case fan
Just installed mine using this video. It’s easier than you think, if you are new to this like me. Great video, thank you!
Glad it helped!
You're a life-saver thank you! Just now building a new PC with the noctua chromax black and was super nervous because I didn't feel like reading any of the instructions haha. Subbed!
Glad to help. Thanks for subscribing 🦐
Thanks for the video - first time upgrading my CPU/motherboard from an old i5 to an i9. Your video helped me through it.
Glad I could help!
funny you say use one of the manuals that came with it, because I bought my NH-D15 years ago then ran out of funds to build my system, now some 3 or 4 years later I am ready to build and the thing was made before the cosket 1700 for intel was a thing so there is only a manual for AMD, socket LGA20XX and LGA115x. Your video using nearly exact same parts really reduced my anxiety for not looking this up first. I thought, Oh, I already have a processor cooler, a good one, so I don't need to worry about that part... till I opened the box and saw the contact surface is literally the same size as the long end of the now rectangular i9 processors 12th gen. anyway, thank you so much for posting this, it is very helpful in many ways.
Fair point 🤣
Great video. Both fans are supposed to extend over the top though (like your second one does) so that cold air is blowing over the top of the heat pipes. Some publicity shots show them at the same height but the official schematic shows them aligned higher. The cooler works great with an I9-13900k after some tweaking of the wattage.
Good to know, I'm working on my i9-13900k build now.
What did you have to do with the wattage to get it running good?
@@BurntSquirrel Both the long and short duration power limit to 253w. You can still tweak it to preference but that runs great for me.
Just today I received my 3rd, optional fan for this cooler. It can't hurt to draw a bit more air out of the left tower. The thermal Grizzly Kryonaut subtracts about 6-7 degrees C, coupled with the Contact frame which draws off about ten more! I can not wait to get it done.
thats a big boy cooler nice
It is a big boy
Haven't built a PC in near 10 years. Currently building 13th gen intel PC. I cudn't be bothered to read the Noctua instructions, this was helpful. xD
Glad to help!
Ah the fine, fine art of thermal paste application. To be a thermal paste aficionado and sophisticate - all you really have to do is finally claim "Great Balls of Fire - I've just dropped 7 degrees C (make up your own number) with my genuine all silver aluminum paste, sold by the inestimable (make up your own brand) Oyster Sauce Company of East London." It's been 6 years since my last build - delighted to see there are still people out there waxing poetic about Oyster Sauce and thermal paste. As if any of it made a bit of difference. My other take, having just installed a Noctua fan on my newbuild, is that these fans are ridiculously big and heavy and expensive. Are Intel i9-12900;s running that much hotter than previous, that they need these gargantuan fans - fans that are no longer supplied OEM with the MB and have to be custom purchased and installed?
I saw that hand wave at 0:25 ;) thanks for the vid. I'm 99.9% sure I could do this w/o a video or anything but eh, why not? Better to be over than underprepared. Putting it on my i7-12700k after my Hyper 212 EVO V2 had the CPU uncomfortably warm. Hoping it works out! I'm a 28 y/o boomer who isn't huge on AIO's :P
👋
How is it with the 12700k? I've just brought one to build my first pc and i have the 12700k to go along with it :D
I just ordered a NH-15 to pair with a 13600k, cant wait to see the result, thanks for the video !
Same here! Will be my first ever build
Very helpful. I'll be installing one of these this week and this video is a great reference. Thank you.

@@TheProvokedPrawn You betcha. Done.
I really love your voice...AMAZING video as always!
Thank you so much!!
What is the real height of this tower cooler with RAM installed?
The front fan is located above the RAM bars, they do not allow the fan to be as low as the middle one.
What is the maximum height of the RAM slats is acceptable, so that the front fan fastened does not exceed 165mm?
What will the author say in response?
Even one of these bought from Amazon on 20.3.22. did not include the LGA 1700 bracket, I had to order from Noctua
Got one in, it looks nice, installs easily enough. The middle fan sits ok, but sits well below the fin stack. (Probably ok since it helps move air across the board components.) The first fan is a problem though. (Or the last if you install it over the IO ports.) I have relatively low profile RAM sticks, (about the same height as the IO shield) with no leds, but the top of the first fan still sits 1-5/16" above the fin stack. (The top of the middle fan is 3/8" above the stack while the top of the vapor tubes are just below that.) In my system, mounted to an AMD 7900X, the top of the first fan needs to come down about 1/2" for me to close the case. The fans included with this cooler are 140mm in size. I have a 120mm on order. I intend to swap this out with the first 140mm fan and I'll move that to the case somewhere.
Excellent guide. Got 'er up n running in an hour. Cheers.
Man at first I was telling Myself why He talks like that! No one can't make a review like human being! Hahahaha then after 3 minutes I was laughing so hard! You're hilarious man
when I first heard your voice I thought I was watching the Dr. Creepen YT channel LOL anyway, I'm gonna try and install this cooler in a Lian Li Lancool 215 case, should give me 1mm of clearance! wish me luck
Yeah I’m switching back to air cooler thanks for video, much quieter then my h90 with to noctua fans on it
mine is a non black edition, but noctua is perfect.
i have no words
dude I'm really enjoying your videos
Thanks Richard. Appreciate it :)
excellent pairing of motherboard and cooler :D
Thanks!
sehr entspannte stimme, danke für dein Video

@@TheProvokedPrawn I did indeed, subbed right away sir :)
Do you generally prefer air coolers to AIOs? I've recently switched to my first AIO - a Corsair H150i after having a Sycthe FUMA for several years. I like being able to control settings with iCUE, but mainly it was for aesthetic purposes if I'm perfectly honest. This Noctua looks nice, really industrial, but it's just so big lol.
Traditionally no. AIOs have been shown to have better cooling and I prefer the aesthetic but the case I'm using basically requires either air tower or full liquid cooling so I went for air. 🤷♂️😂
@@TheProvokedPrawn Fractal Torrent is fine with an AIO (front-mounted) but you do have to move the fans around. The aesthetic isn't as good but it will work. I'm about to do that but am researching air coolers first, just in case. But they're big, and the temps with an i9-12900K are likely too big. I'm hoping you posted test results with temps somewhere.
@@treyquattro I have contemplated using the Kraken Z73 with 140mm fans on either side and the 180s at the bottom but I've not had time yet.
@@TheProvokedPrawn Same. Similar: I'm likely going to use Arctic Cooler with 120mm or 140mm fans. Trying to decide on a 360mm AIO vs. 280mm AIO and an open channel push fan for VRM.

I know I know I know the thermal paste is a job, I have watched more videos of the process than all the cpu vids out and for me the PEA is the key no air pockets spreads evenly and best results always but aint mine so go gaget go. P.S. just installed the NH-D15 what a beast O comes with a badge with sticky yea, nice cooler cools my i9 12900K just fine
Fantastic keep the good work and thank you of course

If you do then I'll wish you a good life every time.
Thanks for your content. I have different questions. What kind of watch and strap do you wear?
damm you really upload videos that i wanna upgrade on my next build.. Thanks
1 quick Q tho..! how do you know that your MB support all 4 DIMM slot of ram?
and is it better to put 8x4 or 16x2 for a 32gb ram as i already have 8x2 stick of ram..
The lga1700 kit i bought doesn't come with those black clips. Interesting note
Is it just prefigured?
Do you know ow thief an would be on the newer 13700k or 14700k? Would the fan adequately cool these newer CPUs?
Idk if you still answear on here but would it matter if the engraving noctua logo would be upside down or not. Looks symmetrical right?
thank you so much for this video, followed along and it went flawless
Great to hear! Makes it worth the effort when people appreciate the help :)
@@TheProvokedPrawn 100% I have this thing where if I look at instructions my brain melts. So I prefer to watch things visually. Now on with the rest of the build haha
What temperatures are you getting under load?
I broke the piece of plastic that was interfering with the cooler in order to make it fit, and my temperature dropped 12° C after installing it in the "correct" orientation. Went from 89 to 77°C
I saw you use a hpyer x16 x NVME card, do you have installed 4 NVMe in it too and does it work without a problem?II wonder what happens when you use all internal M.2 sockets plus the Hyper x16 fully stocked.
I did not see guidance provided on how tight to make the 4 thumb screws that hold down trhe curvered mounting brackets
You think going with 3 fans instead of 2 for this cooler will make any difference?
Are there any low profile DDR5 RAM chips on the market with heat sinks? having to push up the cpu heatsink fan to allow room for the RAM chips is annoying.
d15s
Do you think with a lower profile ram, the 2nd fan would sit more flush?
Is this cooler and Vengeance Pro DDR4 compatible clearance wise?
I know with the cooler you can move the fans up, but I don’t know if I can do that because my case has a side intake fan and I’m not sure how much room I have to move a fan up-I have a Thor V2 case
Great stuff for a n00b like me, thanks!
You're welcome!
I have that exact CPU and Motherboard, just wish I was able to get ahold of a white Strix GPU to pair it with for an all-white build.
The white Strix does look good
How are the thermals looking? Wanna buy the 12700k with this cooler.
Good video. I see that the cooler is not enough for the cpu with 16 cores. An AIO-kit seems like a better solution for this cpu. Just my opinion.

I just installed one of these in a Cooler Master Mastercase H500 ARGB case, then realized something... if I had to install the heatsink and fans outside the case, how the hell do I clean the heatsink when it gets dusty if I can't reach the top fan clips? With a 200mm fan at the top of the case. there's literally no room to get my fingers in there. I may have to go back to my MSI Core Frozr L heatsink. There's only a 5C difference.

I swear I waited for to hear "Mr. Anderson"
That's a new one.

My cooler accesorries has white and grey standoffs, should I be worried or it is just a color change? My CPU is i7 12700KF.
Thanks for the perfect detailed review Im thinking to buy the noctue nh-d15 cuz its way cheaper (comparing to h150i elite capelix and it performs the same almost) Shall I overclock the cpu p cores ? I will be using it for 4K gaming only.
Cpu doesn’t matter at 4k no point in any kind of oc for that. Anything higher than 1080p will be gpu limited. At 4k you will have the same fps with a dirt cheap 12400f as with the 12900k or a 5950x

Excellent! I'm thinking of ordering these parts and setting them up. I may need help :]
I'm about to get this CPU, what cooler do you recommend? I'm upgrading from a i9 9900K to the i9 12900K I'm stuck on picking a cooler. 😬
This one has been good enough tbh. From what I've read it's better with a 360mm AIO but only marginally. This CPU runs hot. Undervolting helps but it's just hot. It's fine though. Performance has been amazing with this Vs my previous 11900K
@@TheProvokedPrawn thanks for that great video man. Very informative 🤘🏾
I basically have the same build you showcased (fractal torrent, i9 12900k, NH-D15). Yesterday when I was benchmarking my cpu under a full 3D rendering workload, the temps actually hit 100.
You mentioned that high 90s were normal for a full work load. But should I be concerned about it peaking at 100? I was considering if I should switch to an AIO? But since the temp differences are marginal between the fan and an AIO is it even worth switch?
