“Overall, I see the Noctua NH-D15 G2 HBC to be a worthy upgrade to the D15 lineup. Performance was extremely good and rivaled that of AIO coolers while offering the ease of aircooling.”

“For top-tier chip chilling, look no further than Noctua's latest and greatest, the NH-D15 G2. It's liquid cooling level.”

“Spending more on a larger heatsinks affords lower temps at low fan speed, making it effortless to optimise acoustics, but more affordable coolers can surprise you.”

“Premium cooling efficiency and build quality are the two highlights of Noctua products and well, that’s also the reason they cost more compared to their competition. To be more specific both the NH-D15 G2 MBC and LBC models currently retail for USD179.95 inside the USA and for 156.20Euros inside the EU and well, that’s just too much. You can easily find lower cost 360mm AIO liquid CPU coolers that can surpass the cooling efficiency of the NH-D15 G2 and that’s its single most important drawback. That being said let’s not forget that unlike AIO liquid CPU coolers the Noctua NH-D15 G2 will keep going pretty much forever and that along with its impressive performance (for an CPU air cooler) are more than enough for our Golden Award.”

“Quite frankly, nobody builds CPU coolers quite like Noctua... NH-D15 G2 is a from-the-ground-up rebuild that leaps over the competition with unrivalled cooling in the air segment.”

“Noctua NH-D15 G2 oferuje wydajność porównywalną, a w niektórych przypadkach nawet wyższą od chłodzeń wodnych typu AiO 360 mm, szczególnie w testach z procesorami o wysokim TDP. W testach z Ryzem 9 7900X podkręconym do 5,3 GHz, NH-D15 G2 LBC poradził sobie z utrzymaniem temperatury poniżej progu dławienia termicznego, co jest imponującym wynikiem dla chłodzenia powietrznego i dorównuje, a nawet przewyższa możliwości niektórych AiO 360. Podobnie, w testach z Intel Core i5-12600K, NH-D15 G2 HBC osiągnął rezultaty na poziomie wydajnych AiO 360. Pod względem kultury pracy, NH-D15 G2 zazwyczaj oferuje cichszą pracę, szczególnie przy niższych obrotach wentylatorów, w porównaniu do AiO 360, gdzie pompy cieczy mogą generować dodatkowy hałas.”

“Går man efter noget af det bedste inden for CPU luftkøling, så er Noctua NH-D15 G2 ikke til at komme uden om. Hvis man kan klare sig med lidt mindre optimale, men stadig mere end brugbare temperaturer, så er der dog på markedet efterhånden en del gode alternativer, som koster en god tand mindre end topmodellen her fra Noctua. Vi lander med en endelig karakter på 9, for en CPU køler som på alle måder er gennemført, og som yder fantastisk og kan gøre det mens den er lydsvag. ”
