Not sure if this is the right place for it. But computer we got has this cooler in it:

I can see its a Noctua of some sorts. Any of you know witch one? Last time I had the computer apart I couldn't see any model numbers. Google lens shows a couple of different ones but they look like one of the towers(?) is smaller then then other on this one they are the same size. For reference the fan ziptie mounted to it(it came to us with twist ties for the mount, its an improvement) is a 120mm fan.

Any ideas?

What hardware is in it? That will help narrow it down slightly.

That one has one side that looks taller(the left side) then the other.

Oh yours ISN'T different sizes (I misread because I can't read)

NH-D15 or D15S (same just different fan amounts - edit: there is a physical difference between the two: https://www.noctua.at/en/support/faqs/whats-the-difference-between-nh-d15-and-nh-d15s ) or NH-D14 then relooking at it - you have 6 heatpipes it looks like (spikes on top are the ends), they 6 heatpipes - compare the measurements

Yes clearly a Noctua. Thank you. All the s12s I see have 5 heat pipes.

I've been looking for ones with 4 heatpipes. Didn't even dawn on me that the pinched ends were ones as well. Just thought they were what help the fins in place. That's on me, last air 3rd party air cooler I delt with was a zelman flower style one.

Its a D14 or D15

If I'm seeing the pictures correctly I think the heatpipes match a D15.

Looks like the fins between the 14 and 15 are different sizes. I'll have my daughter dig up one of her plastic rulers and take measurements later today. Right now on a couple of protentional case swaps Im just going to go off of what ever one is taller
