Noctua NH-D15 G2 chromax.black Review

Closer Look



G2 comes in a nicely designed box with depictions of the cooler and some technical details. Within the box, in true Noctua fashion, all of the included parts are very neatly compartmentalised and housed in cardboard sections. As part of the bundle we get the following items:

• 2x NF-A14x25r G2 PWM chromax.black premium fan
• 2x NA-RC16 Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A.)
• NA-YC1 4-pin PWM splitter cable
• NT-H2 high-grade thermal compound
• NA-TPG1 thermal paste guard for AM5
• NA-CW1 cleaning wipe
• Black SecuFirm2+™ multi-socket mounting system
• NM-SD1 Torxฎ T20 screwdriver
• Noctua metal case-badge




G2 is a gigantic CPU cooler which boasts a dual-tower design and of course, having the chromax.black treatment, does indeed mean we have the black livery. This theme is an alternative to Noctua’s signature beige and brown colourway which some system builders do find it difficult to pair up hardware with. An all-black design has no issue with retaining that stealthy aesthetic, and as you can see, it looks very clean.

As well as the dual-tower, we also have two 140mm cooling fans straight out of the box (Configured in a push configuration), and these fans are NF-A14x25 G2 PWM fans, capable of 0-1500 RPM and 91.58 CFM. Both fans feature a 4-pin fan header connection.



G2 takes advantage of aluminium, nicked-plated fins which follow a convex contour. There are also 8 copper heatpipes which pass through the baseplate and poke out through the top of the find stack.


The baseplate is notably large on G2, catering for a large selection of socket types, and utilises a mirror finish. As we have seen in the past, Noctua pre-install the tensioned mounting screws directly to the baseplate to make the install easier.
