![]() | Noctua - NH-D15 G2 HBC 2*14cm, Intel optimized The Noctua NH-D15 G2 HBC CPU cooler is the advanced, second-generation version of the iconic NH-D15, offering outstanding cooling performance, especially optimized for Intel LGA1700 socket processors. The device features eight heatpipes and a finely tuned asymmetric fin design, complemented by two 14 cm NF-A14x25r G2 fans, each tuned for different speeds, ensuring both quiet and efficient heat dissipation. The so-called “High Base Convexity” (HBC) variant provides excellent contact for long-term deformed or strongly concave Intel processors, resulting in stable heat transfer even under heavy load. The offset heatsink design offers better compatibility, as it does not cover the upper PCIe x16 slot on most motherboards, and also provides more space for RAM modules. Every detail of the cooler represents premium quality, including the mounting system, the included NT-H2 thermal paste, and the six-year manufacturer’s warranty. |
Specifications
- Eight heatpipes for maximum heat dissipation
- Two 140 mm NF-A14x25r G2 fans tuned for different speeds
- High Base Convexity (HBC) design for Intel LGA1700 processors
- Offset, asymmetric fin design for better compatibility
- RAM compatibility: 59 mm with one fan, 32 mm with two fans
- Advanced, Torx-based SecuFirm2+ multi-socket mounting system
