> 24 hourUsing this on an ASUS Z170i mini itx board with (2) 16GB Trident Z DDR-3000 ram. I did not know for sure if the fan would fit on the bottom of the heatsink as I had it installed on top originally, so I unclipped it and slid it in on the bottom and it fit. I am using a EVGA GTX 1070 ACX3.0 and the heatsink fins on the Noctua NH-C14S are the same height as the video card now. I have the fan blowing downwards so it cools the components on the motherboard as well. I did loose a little performance by having the fan pull air through the heatsink vents instead of push, but not much. I am running a i7-6700K at 4.68Ghz with voltage at 1.31. Right now the idle temp is 23 Celsius and ambient temp in house is 67 Fahrenheit (19.44 Celsius). Fan is super silent and super high quality. Under load (Cinebench CPU test) I am at around 73 Celsius. If you are looking for the best quality unit...this is it.

> 24 hourUsing this for SFF Cerberus X case. Fits inside even with the side-rail mounted. Its a premium price for a premium item. Everything that you could need for installation is in the box, including tools. When installing with bottom-mounted fan, you can unhook it from its mount and shift it to access the screws. The heatsink can be rotated in any desired position (what side the heatpipes are on).

> 24 hourI needed a high quality cooler that would fit into a 4U rackmount server case. This one was perfect when configured in the low profile fan setup. Very high quality as you would expect from Noctua.

> 24 hourCuando los instales te recomiendo quitar el ventilador, por que en las aletas de aluminio tiene un par de huecos para atornillar la base del cooler, pero el ventilador tapa uno de los huecos no importa en que posicion lo coloques. Me redujo unos 10 grados del ryzen 2600x comparado con el cooler de fabrica

> 24 hourAfter switching to this Noctua cooler and Noctua NF-S12A case fans my PC is silent. Not hearing the shifting whine of the stock wraith prism cooler or the motor and bearings of the case fan I had before is worth the money. My temps are fantastic at idle and during a 100% CPU benchmark test. Ryzen 7 2700x.

> 24 hourIncluded mounting system is very simple and easy to install. Fits snugly in my Cooler Master NR200, and can easily keep my Ryzen 7 5800X under control at stock speeds. Included fan is reasonably quiet for such a large setup.

> 24 hourAttached easily to an Asus Z170 motherboard and keeps the temps of an overclocked (4800MHz) Skylake 6700k under 40 C running at about 800 rpm. Very quiet.

Successor to the award-winning NH-C14, the NH-C14S is an elite class top-flow CPU cooler that is extremely efficient, highly compatible and remarkably adjustable. Thanks to its deeper fin stack and the renowned NF-A14 PWM fan, the single fan NH-C14S provides similar quiet cooling performance to its dual fan predecessor while being even more versatile: With the fan installed on top of the fins, the cooler is compatible with RAM modules of up to 70mm height. With the fan installed underneath the fins, the total height of the cooler is only 115mm, making it suitable for use in many HTPC cases. At the same time, the new offset layout allows it to clear the top PCIe slot on most µATX and ATX motherboards. Topped off with the trusted, pro-grade SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-C14S is a premium quality top-flow solution for the highest demands.

|---|---|---|---|
Low Profile ModeRun with the NF-A14 fan installed underneath the fin stack, the NH-C14S stands only 115mm tall, which is much lower than tower coolers with 140mm or 120mm fans and allows it to fit many desktop style or HTPC cases. |
High Clearance ModeRun with the NF-A14 fan installed on top, the NH-C14S provides extended clearance underneath the fin stack. This way, it is fully compatible with chipset coolers and RAM modules with heat-spreaders of up to 70mm height. |
NF-A14 140mm premium fanFeaturing sophisticated aerodynamic optimisations such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A14 is renowned to be among the best quiet 140mm fans on the market. Combined with the deeper fin stack of the NH-C14S, it allows the cooler to achieve similar performance levels as its dual fan predecessor despite only using a single NF-A14. |
NT-H1 thermal compoundNoctua’s much-acclaimed NT-H1 is a pro-grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability. Chosen again and again by overclockers and enthusiast users worldwide, it has established itself as a benchmark for premium-quality thermal compounds. |
C-Type top-flow design
The c-type top-flow design of the NH-C14S not only allows for superb quiet cooling performance while maintaining a much lower profile than today"s 140mm tower-style coolers but also ensures excellent airflow over RAM modules and near-socket motherboard components.
