With what is available right now, on paper, the d15 will outperform the u12a. Driedmangoh • 6 mo. ago. I’ve only seen better performance from the U12A at very low rpms (below 500rpm) due to the better static pressure of the A12x25. At higher rpms the D15 will definitely start creating separation from the U12A.
Overclocked 12600k (5.0Ghz with 1 and 2 cores, 4.9Ghz with 3 and 4 cores, 4.7Ghz all cores, 3.9Ghz E-cores), -100mV. ID Cooling SE 226 XT, single tower single fan, a lot cheaper and smaller than the D15. Temperature: Tops out at about 68 degrees C on cinebench.

Jorae-MC. You're right, actually almost any tower cooler performance with one fan is at most ~1-2°C less than with 2 or 3 fans. The case airflow and room temperature is more important than the number of fans. NH-D15 triple fan test. 4 mo. ago. I had used the Dark Rock Pro 4 and the NH-D15 before. I much prefer the noctua because the mounting kit is a lot more comfortable to work with. I also like the looks better, but that's just a personal preference. The Dark Rock Pro 4 may offer better RAM clearance with that 120mm fan, but it will block the RGB effects. DvYqsU. 8 270 289 352 313 454 47 226 296
