Noctua NH-D15 G2 – Long Live the King

Noctua NH-D15 G2 - Installation and Test Setup

Installing Noctua coolers is absolutely a hassle-free affair, which even a person doing it for the first time can handle (unlike the Silentmaxx Titan). Excellent instructions, clearly marked parts, and you can complete the installation in less than 5 minutes. The SecurFirm mounting system, as Noctua calls it, is undoubtedly one of the best mounting systems on the market.

The only thing I would caution about are the Torx screws – they provide more torque for tightening, so avoid over-tightening and tighten as gently as possible...
