Finally, some peace.
I recently purchased the NH-D15, and I must say, I'm quite impressed. My aging Cooler Master Eclipse was running like a power drill on my Fx-8350, and was driving me crazy. I could only use the desktop for games, videos, and 3D modeling (audio and music drowning out the fan); now, it runs much quieter than my laptop - you cannot even tell that the machine is on (apart from the GPU fans kicking in, in tasking applications).
This is not the most affordable aftermarket cooler on the market, but it gets the job done quite nicely and quietly (I'm not even using the extra quiet connector that came in the box). However, be aware that this is a huge component; it won't be able to fit into the smaller cases. I would definitely recommend it, if you have the space.
Conclusions:
+Efficient cooling with a huge block and 2x140mm fans
+Comes with high quality thermal paste
+Very quiet
- Not really a con, but very large; a bit difficult to attach if you don't have a lot of room, even if it fits. Make sure you have a large enough case.
