Noctua NH-D15S
Silent, Big and Powerful with just one fan

We review the Noctua NH-D15S CPU cooler, the Mack Daddy of Noctua coolers now is available in an S model, the silent version. The D15S is basically your D15 yet with one fan. As we learned it helps making the product more silent, and you won't loose much cooling performance compared to that regular version either.

You know, there really aren't bad performing coolers produced anymore. For every segment and budget you can find something you need. The market stabilized and within the entire range and scope of heatpipe based coolers there's a certain comfort zone with a corresponding product available. As a result, most of these coolers available on the market are all adequate at the very least. There are always exceptions to this, there's a handful of manufacturers out there that offer the really interesting stuff, the kit and gear that really stand out from the cooling crowd, the hardware you and me crave and need so badly... that is in the enthusiast domain of gaming hardware. And that's where we need to make a stop at Noctua as they tick all those boxes.

In their long line of CPU coolers, Noctua introduced the NH-D15D coolers, especially made for those that require Noctua's best model cooler yet yearn a little more silence. The Noctua NH-D15S CPU cooler will to deliver both the cooling performance you may expect, yet remains all silent under normal processor conditions. The end result is a cooler that can cope with any CPU released to date cooled including even the most high-end Haswell and Skylake SKUs. 

Below you can have a look at what we test today, the the big U shaped NH-D15S with merely one fan installed. Next page please.
