Comparison between the D15 and D15 G2 confirmed Noctua's claims that the new model is 2-3 degrees Celsius more efficient. In my test, the G2 is on average 2.4 degrees Celsius more efficient. What we have known for decades has once again been confirmed... Noctua is simply the best, and you can always rely on their coolers to be at the top of air cooling solutions. Despite the NH-D15 G2's price approaching 150 euros, it is well worth it. The new cooler is approximately 2.5 degrees Celsius more efficient than the old D15, further narrowing the gap between air and AiO coolers. The new fans are also significantly better and more efficient, with slightly improved sound characteristics. The good news is that these fans are compatible with the old NH-D15. A big plus for me is the fact that the fans are much easier to regulate compared to the old NF-A14, with less noticeable dips between different RPMs. I wish the NH-D15 G2 at least another 10 years with us, just like the D15...
