The NH-D15 G2 chromax.black runs without issues with our Core Ultra 7 265K CPU. It was expected, given that this CPU runs at 200W, which is relatively low for its performance. This is how the MSI Z890 Unify-X motherboard set it, using internal profiles. The overclocking profile pushed it to 250W, the highest recommended wattage the NH-D15 G2 cooler can sustain without throttling. As you can see, the DeepCool Assassin IV cooler was already exceeding 95°C and exhibiting thermal throttling, resulting in reduced CPU performance.
