High-compatibility version of NH-D15
Compared
to the award-winning NH-D15, the S-version uses an off-set,
asymmetrical layout and a single instead of dual NF-A15 fans. This
allows the NH-D15S to provide state-of-the-art heatsink performance
while maintaining superior RAM and PCIe compatibility.
|
 |
Excellent RAM compatibility
Thanks
to its recessed lower fins, the NH-D15S provides 65mm clearance for
tall memory heatsinks, making it compatible with most high end modules
on the market. As the lower fins are recessed on both sides of the
heatsink, compatibility is excellent not only on LGA115x and AMD, but
also on LGA2011 where there are RAM slots on both sides of the socket.
|
 |
Asymmetrical layout for better PCIe compatibility
As
many current motherboards have the top PCIe x16 slot sitting close to
the socket, bigger heatsinks tend to block it. Due to its asymmetrical
layout, the fin-stack of the NH-D15S is off-set towards the upper edge
of the motherboard when installed in standard orientation. This allows
it to clear the top PCIe x16 slot on most current µATX and ATX
motherboard.*

NF-A15 140mm fan
Complying
with Noctua’s AAO standard and featuring sophisticated aerodynamic
design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A15 has
quickly built up a reputation as one of the best 140mm fans on the
market. 
|
 |
Dual-fan ready
Using
the supplied extra fan clips, the NH-D15S can be upgraded with either a
second round-frame 140mm fan with 120mm mounting holes (such as the
NF-A15) for maximum performance or a common 120mm fan (such as the
NF-F12) for improving performance while maintaining compatibility with
RAM modules of up to 45mm height.
|
 |
PWM support and Low-Noise Adaptor
The
NF-A15 premium fan supplied with the NH-D15S supports PWM for
convenient automatic speed control through the motherboard. In addition,
the maximum fan speed can be reduced from 1500 to 1200rpm using the
supplied Low-Noise Adaptor for even quieter operation.
|
 |
Excellent component cooling
Extending
below the fin-stacks, the large NF-A15 fan not only contributes to the
superb CPU cooling capabilities of the NH-D15S but also provides massive
airflow over surrounding motherboard components and heatsinks, thus
ensuring excellent component cooling performance.

SecuFirm2™ mounting system
Noctua’s
SecuFirm2™ mounting systems have become synonymous with quality, safety
and ease of use. Supporting Intel LGA115x (LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155,
LGA1156), LGA2011 (LGA2011-0 & LGA2011-3) and AMD (AM3(+), AM2(+),
FM1, FM2(+)), the SecuFirm2™ mounting included with the NH-D15S
guarantees perfect contact pressure and maximum convenience on all
current sockets.
|
 |
Compatibility with past and future sockets
Complying
with the open SecuFirm™ standard, the NH-D15S can be made compatible
with the older LGA1366 and LGA775 sockets using the optional NM-I3
mounting kit, which is provided by Noctua free of charge. If technically
possible, Noctua will also provide upgrade kits for future sockets.
