“ Ο G2 LBC είναι ο καλύτερος ψύκτης αέρα που έχουμε δοκιμάσει μέχρι σήμερα σε αυτή την AM5 πλατφόρμα. Η βελτίωση σε σχέση με τον SE-AM4 (6 έως 7°C σε παρατεταμένη φόρτωση) δείχνει ότι το βασικότερο διαφοροποιητικό στοιχείο δεν είναι απλώς οι νέοι ανεμιστήρες ή τα επιπλέον heat pipes, αλλά η γεωμετρία της βάσης επαφής και το πώς αυτή συνεργάζεται με τον AMD IHS. Ο χρήστης AM5 με Ryzen 7000 ή 9000 που κάνει εντατικά workloads θα δει πρακτική διαφορά. Για όποιον έχει ήδη NH-D15 SE-AM4 και σκέφτεται αναβάθμιση αποκλειστικά για AM5, η LBC είναι η έκδοση που δείχνει να δικαιολογεί πιο καθαρά το βήμα.”

“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 jest doskonałym wyborem dla osób ceniących wysoką wydajność i cichą pracę, bez względu na cenę. Na szczególne wyróżnienie zasługują solidność konstrukcji, praktycznie bezgłośna praca w większości scenariuszy, oraz możliwość wyboru wersji w czarnej kolorystyce.”

“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.”
