Packaging
The packaging for the NH-D15 has the same look that Noctua has had with their packaging for a few years now. What sets the NH-D15’s packaging apart from everything else is just how large it is. To put things in perspective I took a photo of the box along with our SteelSeries Wireless Sensei. That did leave room for a lot on the packaging though. The front has the product name and a list of main features of the heatsink. On the back that take a similar list but add small line drawing photos and short explanations. Then around on the side is a full specifications listing.
Inside the box we have even more boxes. Noctua has broken up all of he accessories by Intel and AMD and then a third general box with parts that are shared. Additionally there is a box with the second 140mm fan and a box with the heatsink itself in it. The AMD and Intel boxes have brackets specific to each manufactures chipsets along with that they both include the installation instructions. The general box has most of the goodies. You get a screwdriver, a full stick of thermal paste, fan cables with resisters inline to slow the fans down as well as a fan splitter cable. You also get screws, rubber fan mounts, two fan clips, and a metal case badge. Everything I cover a Noctua heatsink I am impressed with the quality of their case badge. What I don’t mention enough is that they include a full stick of thermal paste. Most manufactures just pre apply it or include a small amount but Noctua includes the same amount as what you get when you buy one of their thermal pastes. Not counting shipping, getting this on its own is like 7-9 bucks, a nice addition to your heatsink purchase.
