Noctua NH-D15S chromax.black – Premium cooler in a new coat

Noctua NH-D15S has been at the forefront of coolers for many years. However, the typically beige color of Noctua fans is usually not very popular. But a new version of this cooler with the chromax.black attribute has recently been released. This version has a black finish from the fan to the last screw. In addition, it should not affect the efficiency of the heatsink, but all that remains is to verify it on a hot processor.

Results – low rpm

It can already be seen here that a high amount of waste heat in combination with low speeds means that most coolers are not able to prevent the processor from overheating and subsequent throttling. This is not unexpected, it is simply the physical limit of the cooler and does not mean that the cooler is of poor quality.



How a CPU Cooler Works. Intended for Secondary Schools

The purpose of a CPU cooler is to transfer enough heat away from the processor so that it can operate within its optimal parameters, for example clock speeds. These are only achieved within the expected range if the processor, in combination with the cooler being used, does not heat up more than is desirable for achieving attractive performance. Yes, everything usually revolves around speed, but that is also associated with factors such as power consumption. Read more “How a CPU Cooler Works. Intended for Secondary Schools” »

Computex 2026: New Hardware Outside the Main Spotlight

Computex is not just for the industry giants. Alongside major manufacturers, smaller brands regularly showcase unconventional designs and innovative engineering to capture attention. Some of these concepts prove to be developmental dead ends, while others pioneer features that later integrate into mainstream products. Even if not every innovation succeeds, many certainly deserve recognition. Read more “Computex 2026: New Hardware Outside the Main Spotlight” »

DeepCool AK700 Digital NYX: Single Thicker Tower (with a Display)

A relatively thick tower and as many as seven heatpipes. The fin surface area of the DeepCool AK700 Digital NYX is quite large, even though it is cooled by a single fan. This may be attractive for those who prefer tower coolers (typically over liquid coolers) but still want the best possible memory compatibility, which many dual‑tower designs obstruct.
