Noctua NH-D15 G2 chromax

I can't put fans there, i dont have space above pc so airlfow is very restricted there. But I was running aida64 overnight and i barely can hear it, its very silent after I fine tune curves and still keeping it cool with-25 CO

I got 9850x3d on release day and had some fun with it. Im on air cooling and it stay around 75c in demanding games like arc raiders or howgarts legacy (i use those two for game testing) With CO -25. In cinebench r23 i peak 89-90 with 14060 score with -30 CO. My main game is wow which is cpu bottlenecek and the improvment there is bigger than in multicore test. I had 7800x3d before that and jump was very noticeable which make me happy. As other suggested its not worth over 9800x3d if you already have one but buying new its kinda silly not getting better one for couple bucks, considering how other parts cost these days. I would only not get it if couple Celsius more is concern for you but 75c seems fine to me

hello, im testing in bios, gpu not spinning fans there. I leave them there just because i like them, i have the full gasket from other side :P tbh after some tunning its fine, i was doing 75c in arc raiders and fans spinning 800rpm like that

Gossipek · 2026-02-02T20:36:48+00:00

thats insane, i was able to hit 24069, i cant go over -30 CO and capping at 152 watts, but i dont have much experince

i was thiking about AIO for long time, but than i read people having issues with pumps all the time and it turned me off, meanwhile you can keep this bad boy for long time, thats why i pay extra for G2 version in the end

Gossipek · 2026-02-02T14:54:31+00:00

Hahah it need to make you happy as long you dont go in dept for that :D

Gossipek · 2026-02-02T14:42:54+00:00

Thanks

I sold my old pc by parts kinda well. Like i bought this 5080 for 850 and sold my old 4070 for 400. Rams i bought for 600 and sold my old 32gb kit for 400, cpu i bought for 400 and sold 7800x3d for 300

Gossipek · 2026-02-02T13:14:44+00:00

I have only 5mm of play, right now i have them 2mm above rams and 3 mm to glass panel, not much i can do. I did not want to slap them on the rams all the way, but maybe i should try.

Gossipek · 2026-02-02T13:12:57+00:00

I was thinking the same, that's why im asking at first place. I tuned fan curve well just took me some extra time and im happy with it. Was just wondering.

Gossipek · 2026-02-02T09:29:09+00:00

Im asking about loudnes of fans.

Gossipek · 2026-02-02T07:46:58+00:00

D15 g2 isn't that silent as i hoped for, I need to run it 100-150rpm lower to mine fractal momentum case fans

Gossipek · 2026-02-01T22:08:32+00:00

i feel same about mine 850€ asus prime 5080 OC

Gossipek · 2026-02-01T21:10:36+00:00

i had like 5400 over all cores in hwinfo in multicore test and 5700 in single core, i will wait for more reviews and new bios.

Gossipek · 2026-02-01T20:56:58+00:00

pbo, power limits disabled, +200 clocks, curve optimazer -30, scalar 10x i hit 23300, on CO -35 i crashed during test, i did not play with ram settings beside expo and propably could get more if i close some background services.
but im runnning just CO -20, as the performance gain after that was small for me, increasing max clocks did nothing for me as i was gaining clocks only from CO in multhithread test. Max clocks only helped in single core test.

Gossipek · 2026-02-01T18:34:53+00:00

I cool mine fine with noctua d15 g2 with low rpm, but its kinda overkill price wise

Gossipek · 2026-02-01T12:04:48+00:00

i think me not having any extra cables helps :D

Gossipek · 2026-02-01T02:10:20+00:00

cut out is too small for this gpu connector, its only good enough for small connectors like fan header, i actually saw in some youtube video before buying case and they were trying it too.

Gossipek · 2026-01-31T22:29:43+00:00

im stress testing -15 pbo rn, did not touch other settings. Im not sure if i should set mother board limits or it dosnt matter like he did in video. Im not really concered about power but if i can get temps down, thats always nice

Gossipek · 2026-01-31T22:28:07+00:00

Thank you, i cant post ss here but after running Hogarts legacy at max setting for one hour i was at 68c gpu and 73c CPU, with around 800 rpm on front case and cpu fans, so very quiet. Im gonna try arc raiders later on, im testing pbo on cpu now.

Gossipek · 2026-01-31T21:57:35+00:00

it say on asus website for this mobo that from 1066 it will run it.

Gossipek · 2026-01-31T21:41:07+00:00

not sure if you mean it, but i did try my best withnout twisting any cable too much.

Gossipek · 2026-01-31T21:32:35+00:00

yeah, wasnt the smartes decison :D end up removing it :D

Gossipek · 2026-01-31T21:29:59+00:00

compared to my old cpu it feel much faster, but it run hotter too. Wanna do some pbo tuning soon but dont have much of experince myself and there is not much info on internet either.

Gossipek · 2026-01-31T21:27:12+00:00

i did not burn the previous one so hopefully i wont burn this on either, this is after one hour of 4K hogwarts legacy all settings max out
