FAQs
Does this cooler fit in all PC cases?
No. You must have a case that can accommodate a cooler with a height of 168mm and sufficient width.
Is the NT-H2 thermal compound included?
Yes, a tube of Noctua's high-performance NT-H2 thermal compound is included in the package.
Can I use this with an AMD AM5 processor?
Yes, the NH-D15 G2 is fully compatible with AMD Socket AM5.
What is the warranty period?
The Noctua NH-D15 G2 comes with a 6-year manufacturer's warranty.
Are the fans replaceable?
Yes, the cooler uses industry-standard 140mm fans, though the included NF-A14x25r G2 fans are optimized specifically for this heatsink.
How do I clean the black coating?
Use a dry, soft brush or compressed air to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the black coating.
Troubleshooting
High CPU temperatures during idle or load
Verify that the cooler is seated correctly and that the thermal paste was applied in an even layer. Ensure both fans are spinning.
Fan noise is louder than expected
Check your BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure the fans are set to 'PWM' mode and that a proper fan curve is configured.
Difficulty installing due to space constraints
Remove RAM sticks before installation to increase working space; check case specifications to confirm 168mm height compatibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, verify that your PC case supports a cooler height of 168mm and check your motherboard's clearance to avoid collisions with RAM heat spreaders or VRM heatsinks. The cooler is compatible with Intel sockets LGA 1150 through LGA 1851, and AMD sockets AM4 and AM5. To install, use the provided SecuFirm2+ Torx mounting gear to secure the backplate and mounting bars, apply the NT-H2 thermal compound in a pea-sized dot in the center of the CPU, and carefully tighten the screws evenly. For maintenance, use compressed air to clear dust from the heatsink fins every 6–12 months to maintain peak performance.
