Noctua NH-C14S, Premium CPU Cooler with NF-A14 PWM 140mm Fan (Brown)

This company is simply amazing, great products with wonderful support. Im happy I chose their fans for building my small form factor PC

Warning of the height (158mm if you install fan on top)

Cuando 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

Used on a AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU in a Cooler Master NR200 case. Substantially lower temps on both idle/low load and stress test.

Fitted well in the cooler master NR200P case, although my current setup is a 65TDP chip, the cooler keeps it below 60 degrees when fully loaded with Prime95.

Im so impressed with this fan. I decided to build a gaming PC but wanted it small, so went with the Thermaltake Core V1 case and a mini ITX Z97 board with i5-4690K so I could overclock. I was going to do a self contained water cooler but all the ones around $100 had so so reviews, with most people replacing the fan on the radiator with a Noctua one anyway. So thought Id take a chance and just go air cooling. The fan in the photo looks small but its still huge. Fits fine in my case with the fan under the radiator vs on top like in the photos (it supports both methods as well as adding a second fan). I overclocked my system from 3.5Ghz to 4.2Ghz and on idle Im running around 26-29 degrees C and when using 100% under Prime95 for stress testing I never go over 59. Highest Ive ever seen it hit was 61. Even when on full at 59 degrees the fan is insanely quiet, to the point that I had to turn the TV right off to try and hear it. With the system on the floor you cant hear it at all. Very impressed and highly recommended. Photo shows my rig with it installed to show the size.

EDIT 5/7/2023 - Dropping down to 4 stars because it is basically impossible to change some high profile RAM sticks with this cooler attached, especially if it is a AM4 build where you cant change the cooler orientation.

Using this air cooler for a AMD 5900x and Asus ROG B450-F. It was super easy to install and works great.

Installed this with an Intel Quad Core i7 processor and then tested out how well the system holds up with a really good OC (over clock) ..... Wow the system does NOT heat up at all even under a really tough OC ..... take a likin and keeps on tickin ... glad that I got this as I normally do water cooling for extreme OCs but this Noctua is incredible and now I highly recommend it to anyone!!!!!

I wanted a better cooling solution for my gaming / htpc. It is in a Grandia GD08B case. I love the case, but it has a limit if 138mm for heat sinks. I replaced a Noctua cooler with dual 92mm fans, and this C type cooler with a single 140mm fan idles 9 deg C cooler, and is more quiet as well. I would recommend this cooler for anyone that needs a good cooler in a case with limited height. Check your case height requirement to make sure this fits.
