The last question has two possible answers, really 🙂

Hey hilbert, i think there might be a mistake in the competition answers, * How much does the D15 weigh (fans exclusive) * did you mean to say inclusive? cause according to the Noctua website specifications for the NH D15, the weight without fans (which is what i assume you meant by fans exclusive) is not among the choices in the answer form, however the weight WITH fans is one of the available options in the answer form.

Yes, the last question has two possible answers. Single or dual fans? And I think he meant fans excluded for the second question.

I thought he meant "excluded" (in the article linked it's stated as one of the possible choices given).

if he meant excluded, then there isnt a correct answer in the answer options provided, as the weight without fans according to the noctua website does not match any of the options given. Hmm so just read through HH's review of the cooler, and his review lists the weight without fans as different then the weight without fans listed on the noctua website Also, yeah... two answers for the last question, depends on if its single or dual fan... HH needs to be a little more specific in questions for this one.

That's why you should read the article instead, I guess...

Yes, you are both right ! The last question doesn't state if there is only one fan or two mounted, as the results are different ! As for the weight of the product in guru's review there is a 20 grams difference from the manufacturers website ! Anyway good luck everyone !

Always assume a default configuration - ergo dual fan (I'll stipulate that more clear in the form) and please seek the answers in the linked article (as mentioned).

not to be a wiseguy, but the cooler, or better said the fans have a wrong orientation in regards to the mobo orientation. Like this they would suck in the cold air and than blow the warm air into the case ^ ^

Just couple days ago in EKWB contest i mention NH D-15 as viable alternative to water cooling to guys who are afraid of leaks, and guess what today they have chance to win one 🙂:):)

Good luck all! FYI Gugu3d review weight of a cooler is 20g off from official blurb on the Noctua site.

Amazing how you guys always manage to overthink stuff? I clearly mention you need to look for the answer in the article (not the Noctua website). Apparently, over time Noctua revised the specs a bit. So again, look at the article, fans excluded .. thus the block.

ok, the weight question is totally wrong on couple accounts 1. the weight is asked without fans so plural, since there are only two fans i assume it only asks for weight of the heatsink (fans excluded) 2. in the article the "(without fan)" weight is listed as 1000g on the noctua site its actually 980g (https://noctua.at/en/nh-d15/specification) 3. in the article the "(with fan)" weight is listed as 1320g and then it continues to say that is the weight with both fans installed so plural not singular (The unit weighs in at a whopping 1320 grams with the two fans installed) 4. product sheet for nf-a15 pwm fan says that the weight of one fan is 340g (http://noctua.at/media/blfa_files/infosheet/noctua_nf_a15_pwm_datasheet_en.pdf) if we go by guru3d article: heatsink + 2 fans = 1320g heatsink - 2 fans each being 340g = 640g (answer not offered) so...

You are supposed to go with the Guru3D article I think. The stock configuration of the NH-D15 is with 2 fans so I assume the "without fan" is a typo.

Another great prize!!! But ti think i´m gonna skip this one because i don´t have any CPU that requires this kind of cooling and because i think this beast is to big for my case... Good luck for everyone that enters this contest! Hilbert, is there a VEGA card giveaway incoming in the next days???
