I made a stupid mistake in this video. Don't copy me. Watch this - th-cam.com/video/8AV6DXlbZpg/w-d-xo.html
ahh. man as soon as i saw what you did, i scrolled down to the comments :)) saw this :P
I actually made the mistake of not checking if the LGA1700 is compatible with the old backplate from the LGA155x.. found out that it does not before installing it and causing damage to the mobo or CPU... so just another beware for other PC enthusiasts
This guys voice blew my subwoofer lol. Great video thanks!
Lmao 🤣 I can imagine that hella low end on his mic fs
Wow, your PC build is truly FAN-tastic.
i was thinking of getting the NH D15, but now i found this video ! great video mate, now i will probably get the NH D15S instead !! very informative video
Just FYI the s is really for if you have a small case or problems like I did. The standard one has better cooling. Just check the compatibility tool to see what works for you.
@@TheProvokedPrawn both versions fit to my case, but the fact that there is more clearance on GPU and ram, thats the reason ill go for the S version, i saw many screenshots of people that had non S version on ATX motherboard, and there was almost no space between GPU and cooler. i dont want to have such issues :D
@@Destector. that too is a good point and a good reason to get it. If you can install it in the proper position it'll no doubt be far better cooling wise too.
Very informative video, well done. Fortunately you showed this issue with this particular cooler. I would probably prefer the NH-U12A.
I think you need more fans in your case. Not enough, not enough.
Mooooooore
@@TheProvokedPrawn I also wouldn't put just any random fan, Noctua only!
To remove noctua clips easily- hook the metal tab that protrudes slightly. Push it forwards, which slides it from the groove it sits in, and then pull out slightly. It will spring right off. I actually dremelled a plastic spudger to put a notch in it to do this easily.
1:50 is a life saver..... thanks for the info.... great voice too. Lol!!!!
Thanks for watching. Hope you appreciated enough to subscribe 🦐
@@TheProvokedPrawn Subbed right away.... by the way any info on how I can add a second fan and still keep the rgb ram am on atx so i have space.... Thanks!!!
Very good review, a little to long for my linking :) , but good ! I'm a little confused about the number of fans, seems ... to much, maybe. The idea of airflow, inside any case, is to have an equal number of fans for input and ouput, on opposite sides of the case, to obtain, at best, a laminar flow, which is desired. With you fans displaced like that, you'll get turbulent flow, no matter how you direct the air, because there are too many direction for the air flow. Just saying.
i have buy a i5-12600k with the same cpu cooler. it runs at a high temperature too, 84°c
Thanks for the nice video! In that orientation, does the cooler block the 1st RAM slot (which you left unused)?
I'm a gamer so I use a head set so my fans can run full pelt the best way for performance
@ THE PROVOKED PRAWN
What motherboard is this? I have the Asus Rog Strix z690-f will the Noctua D15 fit this motherboard without blocking anything?
And is there a difference in upright orientation vs. side orientation?
This is the Strix Z690-E Gaming Wi-Fi. You might have the same problem - ncc.noctua.at/motherboards/model/ASUS-ROG-Strix-Z690-F-Gaming-WiFi-5374
Essentially it's in a sub-optimal position because ideally it should be sucking air from the front of the case and blowing hot air out of the back, but in this position it's essentially sucking warm air up from the GPU. It's still possible as you can see, but not ideal.
I have the z690-f with the NH-D15S (added second fan). Fits well but only if you have low profile ram for the second fan.
I have same mother (Asus ROG Strix Z690 Gaming Wi-Fi) and same cooler. What about the Low Noise ADapter NA-RC7, how do in know if MOBO supports it? Where do i find this?
Does this have a sticker on the bottom ? I couldn’t tell while I was installling mine
You know that squishy, snug, comfy sensation you get after a great hot shower and applying baby oil then chilling in your jammies? That's how the narrator's voice makes you feel.
Ha ha some people say I sound creepy and they hate my voice. Maybe that's why
@@TheProvokedPrawn LOL. Nah I find it soothing plz keep up
So does this cooler work out the box or does it need a lga1700 extra bracket .. Reason i as is i had a 12900k sold it and they returned it saying it overheating they said they used this cooler.. But not sure they mounted the cooler correctly.. i dont have any ram to test cooler so have to take there word for it.. Tyia
I think if you buy it new then yes, it might have the right bracket. The 12900k is known to run hot though
Why not use the NH-U12A instead? I saw a test that shows it outperformed D15S and is more compact in size.
It would be the most logical, that position is horrible not to mention that you can touch the second fan with the gpu in addition to covering the air inlet and the dust that would fall to the gpu, all the memories are covered and there are no holes to manage cables, it is horrible in all aspects, +1 for the NH-U12A is the biggest thing I would give it in air coolers. The double tower ones only give you headaches and cover the entire motherboard destroying all its aesthetics.
I'm doing a build with the z690 aorus and a noctua nh d15 with an i7 12700k
so overall you say that if I want to use it initially to make games or small uses I can do it, but if I use it too high it will overheat.
right?
I don't know about the 12700k the temps will probably be different. Even in my case it's fine for gaming. The point is this CPU runs hot. It's known for being hot. It's not the coolers. Fault. But this also isn't optimal positioning.
@@TheProvokedPrawn
it is true that these cpu have overheating, but I believe that noctua should have moved a little earlier with lga 1700 as in q2 of 2022 there is an update or retirement of nhd15 with a possible nhd16 that will be compatible with lga1718 and 1700.
for this high temp during benchmark, have you unlocked stock frequency?
Default settings. I undervolted after and got 10 degrees less
@@TheProvokedPrawn yes.. default setting overlock automatically the cpu K series, simply disable ..
I have a Z690 Aorus Master and the 12900KF. If I get the noctua nh-d15 chromax, would you think that'd be enough to deal with temps from 3D photoreal rendering using NVIDIA IRAY? The case would be the corsair 4000x Thanking you kindly!
Thank you, can you use same thermel paste tecnique on intel cpu?
at 10:52 you placed it in wrong direction. turn 90, and u are good to go :)
Yes. Someone else pointed out that error already. I did a video on it too 😂 btw it makes no difference to thermals.
I have U12a it is so freaking noisy at max cpu load holy shit. It’s like a car engine running my room.
hey why did you install the Noctua in that position? sorry if i missed it in the video
The top VRM is too tall and presses against the heat pipes
@@TheProvokedPrawn yeah i skipped straight to the thermal paste part, i’m looking to buy the Asus Maximus z690 Hero and looks like there’s the same issue not sure if it’s worse but man this is a bummer, are thermals still good despite the position?
@@HUSTLER1346 depends on the case naturally. In the Lian Li AIR Mini for example, I got a max of 80 degress with the i9-12900K with Cinebench. Which is great.
You applied a thermal paste the very wrong way. It should be just a drop on the center of CPU.
No
98c WOW!! I got 91c max in 10 mins of R23 with a cheapo 30euro Arctic freezer 34 (,with lga1770 kit) on my 12900k.
Stock speeds mind you.
There must be something wrong there.
Yes. Probably need to tweak settings or reapply paste.
honestly the number of fans you have is absolutely ridiculous. Having a low to no noise enviro is way more important.
Your voice made me turn gay
Enjoy your new lifestyle
you mic sound is terrible 🤯👎
No
Too much thermal paste :P
Moooooore
where did you get those posters from thats on your wall? they look sick! btw your voice is calming its nice
They're displates th-cam.com/video/0mK_IvMTzaU/w-d-xo.html and thank you.
Thanks for the video! I will be using my d15s on the asus rog strix z690-a d4 and was glad to see you got it to fit to this strix board. I’m curious though, why not install it with normal orientation but with the offset side going towards pcie slot instead of towards the vrm? That is what is suggested on noctuas site for the d15s whereas you went with the orientation suggested for the non-s d15.
I applied the thermal paste the same way and ammount you did.
And this is too much, i checked my installation and reapplied the thermal paste just by covering the cpu surface and temps dropped 4 degrees.
Hi Provoked Prawn , I am now building about the same build same Mother board and the same cooler , You could try turning the Noctua Cooler 180 degrees , so upside down ,and then it fits with the boards heat-sink , of coarse connect the ventilator blowing to the back of the PC (it fits same same both sides no problem ) I think the Cool plate will touch better then with your option , also i used a better cool past Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut , that one is also better for overclocking , (also i saw or read somewhere that they said to apply it every year new , seams a bit much , but anyway refresh it at some moment ) I am not done yet , still need to connect the Power Supply to the board etc .bios start up and Windows ! Ow i bought the Fractal design define 7 case , I like it everything fits good , user friendly case , with sound damping material inside !*-*) There are 3 models , the 7 XL (big) the 7 (medium) the comfort 7 ) small , i have the model 7
Excellent video. I have NHD15 Chromax blackout, and only one fan fits. So essentially I now have a NHD15S, and I was wondering if it could cool a 12900K. After watching this I'm happy to say my 12900K is staying fairly cool.
Thanks for watching. Checkout the video I did on undervolting too. That'll help
What are your temps? 🤔
Also, does the cold plate cover the entirety of the cpu?
I read that it's possible to attach a 120mm fan to the chromax but I haven't tried it (yet).
I could listen to your voice all day. Feel so calm! Thanks for the video!
Click on one of my playlists and do just that. 😂😂🦐❤️
Your video is god sent, as i have this cooler at home waiting for the kit to arrive to already install it on my 12700KF.
So now i will use your direction and benchmark as a reference for me, thank you🙏🙏🙏
@@JimBalter thanks, i love to combine visually seeing how something is installed together with the written instructions. Anyway my cooler was installed and the temperature is cool so i am happy
öööööüüüüüüüüüü this is the ..... :))))))
Thanks for the great vid! Just installed an EK 360mm AIO into my system, to actually get more air to my GPU, works a treat!
Nice
I think u put to much Paste on the CPU, u will get surprised when u remove the Cooler.
hi , thanks for the video, it was helpful to me . Anyway this is the ROG STRIX Z690-E (ATX), right? Becouse on the Noctua site the -G (mATX variant) is reported as fully compatible with the NH-D15S (not with the "regular" NH-D15 ), and seems more or less of the same quality of the -E, excpet for the fact it is a Micro :D
Hoping the NH-D15s will keep my 12700k cool
How cool is it running I’m doing a 12700k set up also
@@mrslapside haven’t tested under full load yet but for games (what I do primarily) it will max at around 75-79 doesn’t get into the 80s hardly ever. So pretty happy with that performance!
@@ajderuyter2293 That's awesome! What style of thermal past addition did you use? haha i'm getting ready for my 12700k builld. Also what gpu? thanks for the fast response!
Great, I’ve just opened up my NH D15 (non S) that Amazon said was compatable with LGA 1700 and now I start this vid and I’m told I need an adapter to make it work? Well fuck.
Can I mount any air cooler horizontally on the LGA 1700? I have a Cooler Master MA612 and I can't find an answer to this question anywhere.
Will this CPU cooler be sufficient enough to overclock an i5-12600k to 5GHz?? @The Provoked Prawn
His temps are high because he had to mount it top to bottom and pulling air from the GPU.
Also I pointed my fans going up ⬆️ using the natural heat rises technique
Could you do Cinebench when you lower TDP for -0.14W ?
Nice
I also intel my rog strix z690-e with my noctua nh-u12a orientation 90 degree

That’s a seductive voice you got there pal. You could probably talk the ladies into anything.
Sadly it mostly seems like men appreciate more than women. 🤣🤣
@@TheProvokedPrawn Well women don't usually watch Noctua reviews :)
He sounds aroused by some of the parts
Obviously
love your voice!
Sub for more of it ❤️
This gets a like based on the ASMR quality alone.
Backplate is 90° off where it should be?
It has to be that way with the VRM on the motherboard sadly.
@@TheProvokedPrawn I said backplate not the cooler. You already made a video explaining the mistake I posted this first sorry.
