The Noctua NH-D15 G2 release date is coming up THIS MONTH and there’s so many ways in which its been improved since we last saw it. The D15 G2 will actually come in three different versions which are aligned with base curvature (Standard, Intel and AMD). Noctua is also showing its AIO / Thermosiphon project along with a new dual tower heatsink that could beat the D15 G1 and a new 120mm fan too.

ASUS would be the undisputed kings of PC enthusiasts if they had the same "quality for the costumer first" mentality that Noctua have.
@jamesm568 07/06/2024Reply
Expensive, but I trust this brand more than I do some of these other minimum wage brands. Noctua Is the gold standard as everyone else is just an alternative.
@stjepanjina 07/06/2024Reply
Oooooverrated air coolers.
@adi6293 07/06/2024Reply
I could never put those ugly coolers in my PC lol

Hello, is there any news on the passive cooling PC, case or anything?
@stormrider01 07/06/2024Reply
There is a thing that´s not true. The IR photos show the preassure, not the deformation. There may be a preassure difference but the cooler still has contact to the IHS. So it´s a bit lot marketing here and the temperature differences between the cooler designs would be very very small as you see in 12:08
@nexy84 07/06/2024Reply
Looking forward to the D15 G2 reviews, even though after many years, I said goodbye to Noctua and went liquid.
As suspected, it's also great news that they started to experiment on liquid. I guess they realised that they need to do something to remain competitive. These recent CPUs are getting increasingly difficult to cool.
@XiaOmegaX 07/06/2024Reply
This is all so overpriced compared to their market competition.
That thermosiphon though, can command the premium. Not having pump noise or failure risk in a 240 rad would be worth money.

The Thermosiphon certainly sounds fascinating. But won't fan failure be even more catastrophic than pump failure? Won't the temperature instantly shoot up like 100 degrees? So it will become mandatory to replace fans every 4 years or so regardless of how much life they still exhibit?
@Podwojniak 07/06/2024Reply
I love when companies deploy actual engineers into their booths on these shows rather than marketing people.
@numberz010 07/06/2024Reply
That Thermosiphon is far and away the most exciting product here

Cant belive this guys just transformed flatenes tolerance deviation in 3 sub categories

Thermalright sh*ts on them for 1/5 of the money.
Not even going to talk about Arctic AIO's…@Games_and_Tech 07/06/2024Reply
$150 for an ugly and bulky air cooler 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡 I have seen everything now
@Knox420 07/06/2024Reply

WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITE 🙁
@CaptainBlitz 07/06/2024Reply
I'd like to think the marketing departments of other hardware companies see this and go "BORING" but it's actually really cool even if it looks really f*cking nerdy, especially that AIO.
@demiankeaough4616 07/06/2024Reply
Too long! I got a lot of computex videos to get through and very little time.
@Magnisus 07/06/2024Reply
My eyes are on Thermosiphon. Knowing how proficient Noctua is, this will be a blast once completed.

Noctua is living in the past with those prices related to performance.
@PaintMasterPoE 07/06/2024Reply
That pricing is just nonsense, but fanatics going to buy anyway.
If your cpu can be cooled with air cooler, buying $150 cooler instead of $40 one that has same performance is just insane.
If you have cpu that cant be cooled with air cooler, like 14900k. You buying 360mm aio, many of which cost way lower than $150.
And please, dont talk about amazing service and support, or getting free mounting kit. They send you free mounting kit that cost like $5 to make, for cooler you paid $150.
Id rather pay $40 for same cooler, and if needed in far future buy mounting kit for $5-7.
Same with fans, you can buy ps120 for $35, even if fans fail in few years, you can buy two noctua fans for $30 total, and it still will be less than half of cost of D15 g2, or whatever better/quieter fans there will be.
And you might get even better performance when ps120 with stock fans have same or better performance as D15, so with noctua fans it could be even more better.
@Niural 07/06/2024Reply
After seeing all these "fans" willing to pay $150 for an air cooler, I can see why Noctua is trying to position itself as the Apple of air coolers or the god of air coolers to milk these clueless fanboys. They can't even design a fricking fan for years while their competitors offer the same performance for $30-$40 with innovation every year.

149 is outrageous

Gotta love fans still looks Line they come from a smoking home😂
@syncmonism 07/06/2024Reply
Noctua is such a wholesome company. Their marketing strategy is just to make great products with amazing warranty support and customer support, and then their engineers don't need to give us any bullsh*t, and can just market their products by being completely honest and transparent about the products.
@jondonnelly4831 07/06/2024Reply
I wish and hope Noctua make a 420mm thermosiphon. I like having all fans 140mm, it has a more pleasant hum.
@wereoctopus 07/06/2024Reply
Hopefully if Noctua brings the thermosiphon AIO to market, it'll be user-serviceable. Pump failure is just one way AIOs can fail. Gaskets and O-rings can perish, coolant slowly diffuses through tube walls, clogs can develop.
@sleepy_dobe 07/06/2024Reply
Seen some comments about their pricing and I get that it's high when compared to their competitors, but you need to consider this – with Noctua, you're getting an air cooler for life. So long as you want to use aircooling, no matter the platform, you just need to write in and request for the relevant mounting kit, FOC.
@AlwaysBusyGuy 07/06/2024Reply
I think Noctua should colder code LBC in red and HBC in blue for the packaging so that it’s instantly a clear message. Dear Noctua, please take note of my suggestion. Thanks

@playerzero0000 07/06/2024Reply
This is cool and all (pun intended), especially the Thermosiphon, but Noctua really needs to get on the daisy-chain trend with their fans. A lot of ppl will buy fans that can link together over fans with better performance just to have fewer cables they need to manage.

happy to switch water cooling whe Noctua release one.

Yikes. Thermalright been giving us the same or better cooling performance for a third of the cost.
