Noctua NH-D15 D-Type Premium CPU Cooler Review

Installation
Since the back plate comes with pre-fitted screws, installation was super easy and the backplate dropped straight into place.
The two Intel support bars fit easily over the four pegs from the back plate and are held in place with four easy to fit thumb screws, so far the whole thing has taken about 30 seconds.
The CPU tower dropped perfectly into place, all I needed to do was put on some thermal grease and tighten the two sprung screws. The clearance down the middle of the cooling towers, combined with the L-shaped screw drive made this a very simple task, total installation time is now up to two minutes.
The two fans clipped into place with ease using the four fan retention clips, total installation time was under five minutes, I could have done it blind folded.
