Noctua Chromax Black NH-D15 install with an LGA 1700 Core i9-12900K

Would it have enough clearance for G Skill Trident Z Neo cl4 3600mhz 4x8gb?

Ah the fine, fine art of thermal paste application. To be a thermal paste aficionado and sophisticate - all you really have to do is finally claim "Great Balls of Fire - I've just dropped 7 degrees C (make up your own number) with my genuine all silver aluminum paste, sold by the inestimable (make up your own brand) Oyster Sauce Company of East London." It's been 6 years since my last build - delighted to see there are still people out there waxing poetic about Oyster Sauce and thermal paste. As if any of it made a bit of difference. My other take, having just installed a Noctua fan on my newbuild, is that these fans are ridiculously big and heavy and expensive. Are Intel i9-12900;s running that much hotter than previous, that they need these gargantuan fans - fans that are no longer supplied OEM with the MB and have to be custom purchased and installed?

Will D-15 be enough to cool my i9-13900K ?

ive never had to watch someone at 1.5x speed but here we are

Thanks for the video - first time upgrading my CPU/motherboard from an old i5 to an i9. Your video helped me through it.

Got one in, it looks nice, installs easily enough. The middle fan sits ok, but sits well below the fin stack. (Probably ok since it helps move air across the board components.) The first fan is a problem though. (Or the last if you install it over the IO ports.) I have relatively low profile RAM sticks, (about the same height as the IO shield) with no leds, but the top of the first fan still sits 1-5/16" above the fin stack. (The top of the middle fan is 3/8" above the stack while the top of the vapor tubes are just below that.) In my system, mounted to an AMD 7900X, the top of the first fan needs to come down about 1/2" for me to close the case. The fans included with this cooler are 140mm in size. I have a 120mm on order. I intend to swap this out with the first 140mm fan and I'll move that to the case somewhere.

Building my 1st pc this weekend (been gaming/working on pre builds for years) installing this cooler on an intel socket in a Fractal case so while there are a few things diff between our builds I really appreciate this video.

It’s an excellent guide!

Do you think with a lower profile ram, the 2nd fan would sit more flush?

Will the nh-d15s mount to a Msi d760 tomahawk

You're a life-saver thank you! Just now building a new PC with the noctua chromax black and was super nervous because I didn't feel like reading any of the instructions haha. Subbed!

Mine doesnt even screw in at the end like wtf

Anybody know if this all would also fit with a RTX 3080? I plan on using the Corsair 4000D airflow with a Gigabyte z690 Aorus motherboard. I have the Maxsun iCraft 3080 it which is appearently the biggest 3080 out there, this fan seems to big gigantic and i would love to know, thanks!

This was really helpful, thanks!

I no this video is over a year old now but i can say this cooler is amazing, i am currently using this cooler to cool down my i9 13900kf and it keeps the cpu under 60c at a room temp of over 25c when gaming for hours at a time.

Saved me so much time, matey!

Quite obviously never uesd thermal paste before. If you have ,may I suggest get someone else to do it

i m useing this with at front120mm fans and its fit better i think

Idk if you still answear on here but would it matter if the engraving noctua logo would be upside down or not. Looks symmetrical right?

I think vertical airflow is actually the ideal mounting position, hot air goes up and immediately out via the top case fan.

Great voice great technique

You think going with 3 fans instead of 2 for this cooler will make any difference?

I want to install 64 gig ddr5 with Noctua NH-D15 is this ok?

You should use a pea like, not scraping like u do..u get micro air bubbles 😮

speak yo tour cooler like you speak in bedroom aw yea

Can this cool a 13600k for gaming only?

Just today I received my 3rd, optional fan for this cooler. It can't hurt to draw a bit more air out of the left tower. The thermal Grizzly Kryonaut subtracts about 6-7 degrees C, coupled with the Contact frame which draws off about ten more! I can not wait to get it done.

bassy deep vocals asmr that massages your ear drums lol

Sir, you're gonna need to tone down that sexy voice by at least 75%.

damm you really upload videos that i wanna upgrade on my next build.. Thanks
1 quick Q tho..! how do you know that your MB support all 4 DIMM slot of ram?
and is it better to put 8x4 or 16x2 for a 32gb ram as i already have 8x2 stick of ram..

Haven't built a PC in near 10 years. Currently building 13th gen intel PC. I cudn't be bothered to read the Noctua instructions, this was helpful. xD

Thank you. I haven't built a PC since Y2K. Things are a bit more complicated these days but thanks to you and others like you it is actually easier.

Bless you Sir for your guide. It's harder to build a PC today compared to the last time I did it when I was admittedly much younger. I was overwhelmed until I saw your calm (non-distracting), useful presentation and showing the visual set-up in the beginning off the MB really helped. Hope you get the Thumbs Up that you deserve!

Great video. Both fans are supposed to extend over the top though (like your second one does) so that cold air is blowing over the top of the heat pipes. Some publicity shots show them at the same height but the official schematic shows them aligned higher. The cooler works great with an I9-13900k after some tweaking of the wattage.

Which GPU are you using in the pc in video

Will this work with a i7 13700k?

I did not see guidance provided on how tight to make the 4 thumb screws that hold down trhe curvered mounting brackets

Great stuff for a n00b like me, thanks!

sabes si con el tiempo el peso no dañaria la tarjeta madre, y otra duda servira para un ryzen 7600x?

I broke the piece of plastic that was interfering with the cooler in order to make it fit, and my temperature dropped 12° C after installing it in the "correct" orientation. Went from 89 to 77°C

thanks

hi. what is the name of your case? thanks

hi. can we use 128gb ram with this fan and this setup?

I'm pretty new to building computers but the thermal paste application didn't look correct. I have always applied a pea size in the centre. Am I wrong?

Building my first PC and this video helped so much when I opened the cooler all the pieces made it intimating but your video loved the step by step process you showed thank you!

Excellent guide. Got 'er up n running in an hour. Cheers.

apparently im the only one who installed the 2 fans parallel to each other

installed in a 7950x. 47 C idle. around 60 while gaming. perfect for a 95C cpu

Why did you choose that orientation?
