Just make sure they will fit. The NH-D15 has 140mm fans correct? But don't they have 120mm mounting holes? Meaning that the 140mm industrial Noctuas won't fit as they are square frame with regular mounting holes. Meaning you would have to go with 120mm fans which would kinda suck for that cooler's potential. I had researched this before too when I was using a Noctua heatsink and didn't have much luck =/

Yes I believe it needs 140mm fans with 120mm mounting holes, I think cryorig's fans are like that, I'll go check.

Can't find out if that has 120mm mounting holes, I could check with a tape measure since I have a pair of them, but I'm super lazy right now lol

hi,

i have a bought a new noctua NHD 15 but i really hate the look of the fans.

what is a good replacement for these fans?(silence in mind)

return the NHD15 then ....

It would be a huge waste of money if you don't use those included A15s
