So, you come out with the best air cooler on the market as a follow up to what was the reigning king of air cooling for many, many years, what could you possibly do next? Well, make it more compatible with the trend of SFF and ITX builds without sacrificing performance, of course. The NH-D15S is a very simple and obvious change to the NH-D15 to meet specific uses, and Noctua pulls it off in exactly the flawless fashion we have come to expect from them. While the NH-D15S is still a very large air cooler, it clears all RAM slots and the first PCIe slot on almost every ITX board, giving enthusiasts the option to use a truly top tier air cooler without sacrificing anything in compatibility.

"In the end, the NH-D15S offers top tier enthusiast level cooling, nearly silent operation, flawless build quality, one of the best mounting kits ever to come to market and no compatibility issues. There can be no doubt that the Noctua NH-D15S is deserving of our highest recommendation and a Hi Tech Legion Editor’s Choice Award." (George Cella, HiTechLegion.com)
