You have to look at Reviews that use at least a soldered CPU -> AMD FX, Intel LGA2011 at the time.
Cooler Tests with Intel Consumer Plattform with Ivy Bridge or later are just useless horseshit and can be ignored because the TIM is the limiting factor.
So even if the NH-D15 would be able to cool 450W at 100%, you can't get a notable difference with that system towards a good single tower because the TIM can't conduct more heat from the die...
Hardwareluxx for example uses that:
Prozessor | Intel Core i7-4790K (4,2 GHz) |
And that's just horseshit and makes the "Review" almost useless for highest end coolers.
