Nh-d15s on AM4

[NotMrTaco]

I'm going to be building a new PC soon, and I originally was going to get the drp4 or dr4, but then I saw the nh-d15s is slightly cheaper than the drp4 but a little more than the dr4. But then I looked at their warranties and noctua provides a 6 year and be quiet provides a 3 year. That's a no-brainer to go with noctua, so I was wondering if the nh-d15s would work out of the box with the AM4 socket, because it is listed as compatible, but pcpartpicker says it is possible that I could need an adapter to make it work.

If it doesn't include the mounting for AM4, then you can either get all the other parts first (including the cooler) and submit a form to Noctua and they'll give you the mounting kit for free:

Or you can buy it from amazon, it's very cheap:

At this point it should include bracket. Unless you have really bad luck and get over 3 year old unit.

^^^ I think mine came with the AM4 mounting stuff, but I've never put it on an AMD chip so I never actually checked. But any more recent models should have it in the box, if not:

If you have the invoice/receipt for your motherboard and cooler, they'll give you whatever mounting hardware you need for free (only reason I can't get the LGA1366 mount kit free is my mobos are used and I don't have OG receipts for them, buying new you won't have that issue).

Jeez, those coolers have been out for a while.

Reviews for the NH-D15 seem to start around 2014, 2016 for the D15S variant.

Why to improve (almost) perfection? More than that, AM4 has been out for some time and manufacturers have packed brackets with coolers since first new patches after Ryzen 1 launch.
