CPU Cooling Noctua NH-D15 G2 HBC (Recommended for Intel)

Noctua NH-D15 G2 HBC

The NH-D15 G2 represents the second and even more refined generation of Noctua's iconic NH-D15 cooler.

Equipped with the most advanced NF-A14x25r G2 PWM fans, eight heatpipes, and meticulously designed asymmetrical cooling fins, it achieves even quieter and more efficient cooling performance than its award-winning predecessor.

As such, the G2 version is a true flagship model that continues the legacy of the original NH-D15 by pushing the boundaries of air cooling and effectively competing with many All-in-One (AIO) liquid cooling solutions.

The special High Base Convexity (HBC) version is tailored for highly concave processors, providing excellent contact quality on Intel LGA1700 CPUs that are under full ILM pressure or have become warped over long-term use.

In addition to its enhanced performance, the NH-D15 G2 also offers improved compatibility thanks to its offset design, which allows it to clear the top PCIe x16 slot on most current motherboards.

Last but not least, the G2 version has been upgraded to the SecuFirm2+ multi-socket mounting system based on Torx, with an included NM-SD1 screwdriver, as well as Noctua's superior NT-H2 thermal compound.

In summary, the NH-D15 G2 has been further refined in nearly every aspect, from the heatsink and fans to the mounting, thermal paste, and accessory package.

It is the new number one choice for customers who demand the best in air cooling.
