Well the results speak for themselves. The NH-D15 is more than capable of cooling the very hot 5960X under normal and overclocked conditions. Indeed, overclocks are dependent on the specific CPU, but with this one, the cooler proved more than capable of handling the added heat. In comparison to the X360, it may not look impressive, but look at the results against a very capable Seidon 240M which delivers the kind of performance that’s typical of a mid to level AIO unit. There’s really nothing between the two at all and where it counts the NH-D15 edges out the Seidon 240M. It also happens that the Seidon 240M sells at the exact price as the NH-D15. To the D15’s advantage though, it has the added benefit of cooling you motherboard’s VRM and memory as well.

"If you liked the D14, then you’ll most certainly like the D15. This is not for small cases or micro-ATX boards for that matter. It is for those who seek the ultimate cooling with near whisper quiet operation. I’ve not come across a better air cooler than the NH-D15. With the D15 I’m pretty sure the best just got better!"
