Guru3D 2019 December 2 contest: Win a Noctua NH-D15 Chroma Black
Can you believe it? A year has already passed. So yes it is time to give a little back to the Guru3D community, our way of showing you some respect for not using an ad-blocker on this website. December will be loaded and packed with competitions!
In December each workday we gave away a nice prize, we kick off with Noctua who's giving away their new flagship Noctua NH-D15 Chroma Black.
Thank you for listening to us
Every year during the Christmas season we give away cool stuff, this year once again are expanding as a thank you to everybody that disabled their ad-blocker. This is our way of expressing our respect for you to disable that ad-blocker on Guru3D.com
Win a Noctua NH-D15 Chroma Black
The NH-D15 chromax.black is an all-black version of Noctua’s award-winning flagship model NH-D15 premium-quality quiet CPU cooler. Thanks to the same proven dual-tower heatsink design and NF-A15 PWM fans, it stays true to the NH-D15’s successful formula of rivalling the performance of all-in-one water coolers while maintaining superb quietness of operation. At the same time, the chromax.black version with its black fans and black coated heatsink combines these assets with a sleek stealth look. Topped off with the renowned SecuFirm2™ multi-socket mounting system, Noctua’s enthusiast-grade NT-H1 thermal compound and a full 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, the NH-D15 chromax.black is a deluxe choice for both overclockers and silent enthusiasts who seek an elite-class heatsink that looks just as great as it cools.

I won the Noctua pack that included a couple chromax fans and a D15S three years ago. That cooler is still working great on my old 2600k rig that I gave to a friend.

Good luck to all participants.
I skip this one, I already own a good one (NH-C14).
Same here, my D15 (normal coloring) is cooling my 2400G... a bit overkill, but hey, it works!
Also thanks to Noctua for this giveaway by offering the product, they also sent me adaption brackets twice (bought the D15 and got an LGA1336 and AM4 bracket for free on two seperate occasions, very nice customer support).

Yes it’s always much better when active members that have a stake in this community win the contests.

I mean I totally agree, at least a minimum amount of activity and not "last minute" new accounts should win, but honestly, I didn't know that this was a rule. Guess I skipped the small print there

Yes, just write to them and receive a mounting kit for your current socket after sending in the invoice of the purchase (motherboard).
Otherwise the kits are about 6 or 7 Euros on Amazon. Still better than buying a new cooler.

Same here! It is still cooling the 2600k@4.7GHz in my brothers rig. I could certainly use a bigger cooler for my toasty non-delidded 4770k, I hit 100C in about 3 seconds in AVX workloads...

there is lots of silent shadow readers like me, I don't argue about if it's fair or not to include people like me in the contest, but I think such rules just create a lot junk posts
thank you Hilbert

My bad then. I really though you need exact number of posts/likes to enter. It was your rule last year if i remember correctly.
