Air coolers that perform like the NH-D15

I'd say that the Thermalright True Spirit 140 and the Phanteks TC14PE are good alternatives that (usually) cost less.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Don't know about the True spirit, the one I linked looks better. The Phanteks is a nice option though, costs 70 euros

There's some usermade benchmarks as well but I can't be bothered to find them. The True Spirit 140 is a great bang for your buck cooler.

Thermal take Frio extreme silent

I don't like them as a company but the test I have at hand puts it just behind the 15 in price and performance

Do you care more about noise or temps or is both equally important?

The ultimate is just as expensive while being louder and similarly cool. I would not recommend it.

That was going to be my first suggestion. If you want NH-D15 performance but can't afford a D15, then the D14 is a good place to start looking.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

They're not that different. https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Thermalright/Macho_RevB/6.html

I'd go with the Macho Rev. B due to the lower price.
