[SOLVED] Noctua NH-D15 for Ryzen 3700x

[Mark_Tilbrook]

Do you think getting the Noctua NH-D15 for the Ryzen 3700x with 2 Noctua NF-A12x25 ULN fans is worth it? I cant stand RGB and want better cooling. However, I dont really plan on overlocking because i dont want to break my system. I am using the Corsair Carbide 270R. Is this all worth it do you reckon. For gaming and general use + programming + machine learning.

I think it's a bit overkill. A Thermalright LeGrandeMaco RT or a Scythe Ninja are cheaper and should get the job done just fine at lower costs.

The D15 is overkill especially if you don't plan on overclocking, if you don't want the cooler that comes in the box I recommend one of this two: https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Maste...f44197bcbb99c80fa7a89b905d31d7&language=en_US

Go with cooler master for aesthetics or with noctua for more performance, both are great coolers.

The NH-D15 may be overkill for your system, it's worth noting though, that this cooler will still be going in 10 years (🤞🏻) is under warranty for 6 six years. In my opinion it's worth buying for those reasons plus it's outstanding thermal performance and build quality.

For a 65W CPU this cheap cooler will do the job:

Deepcool Gammax GTE

I don't like RGB either, but i'm using it on my PC. What I did was not plug the RGB cable, and it runs like a normal fan. You can step up to something like the Artctic Freezer 34 but I have troubles finding it. If you have a plan on upgrading to a 105 W CPU (which I suggest you should) then something like an Arctic Freezer 34 would be a perfect match. NH-D15, however should be reserved for overclocked CPUs or TR4 systems in my opinion.

The DH-15 rocks.....; it is very quiet!(Sitting next to it even with case cover removed, it is difficult to tell when it's on!)

Get it! The better/lower your temps, the higher the CPU will clock/maintain it's boost...
