Packaging, Bundle & Fans


Packaging for NH-D15 is professional and easy on the eye


Noctua’s NH-D15 arrives in a monolithic box which alludes to the stature of what’s found within. In true Noctua fashion, the packaging is professional and lists the key benefits to using D15 along with specifications for those who wish to know the technical details surrounding this cooler.


Bundled parts come packaged within individual boxes


We’re very familiar with Noctua’s care when it comes to packaging and this is keenly demonstrated with the packaging system used for NH-D15. Opening the box up, we find a series of individual boxes for specific mounting kit, accessories, cooling fans and even the heatsink itself. NH-D15 comes with both AMD and Intel mounting kits to support a variety of different sockets including: Intel LGA2011, LGA1156, LGA1155, LGA1150 and AMD AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1, FM2, FM2+.

Within these smaller boxes, there are a number of items including:

• 2X NF-A15 PWM premium fan
• 2X Low-Noise Adaptor (L.N.A.)
• Y-cable
• NT-H1 high-grade thermal compound
• SecuFirm2™ Mounting Kit
• Noctua Metal Case-Badge


So you’re left in no doubt that you’re getting a premium piece of kit with the NH-D15 and Noctua’s attention to detail is clearly evident.


NH-D15 comes bundled with two NF-A15 PWM cooling fans


Bundled with NH-D15 are two NF-A15 PWM cooling fans which offer up to 1500RPM at an impressive 24,6 dB(A). These fans use a seven-blade design and have an insulated 4-pin PWM connector. Noctua bundle a Y-cable so that you can run both cooling fans off one header and two low-noise adapters to assist in reducing the fan speed and thus lowering noise levels.
