> 24 hourNot easy to install when the motherboard (X99) is already populated. Lack options to install a slim (15mm) width fans. Cooling performance is ordinary.

> 24 hourUsed with high end i7 processor. Concerned about the height because i had to ship th esystem after it was built, but no issues. It screws down to the motherboard vs snaps which is good. There is some flex if you need to bend the pipes a little. One thing to note on my Asus motherboard, it does block 2 of the memory banks. So i had to install before i put on this cooler. Other than that A+

> 24 hourWorks great! Brought my cpu temperature (ryzen 3700) down from 82-83 C under stress test to 74-76 C.

> 24 hourI was a slightly concerned about this fitting with the fan on the TOP of the cooler and still being able to fit in my Hyte Revolt 3 case. It turns out that it fits perfectly. To the millimeter.

> 24 hourfirst time using an after market cooler. my i5-4670k would reach temps around 80 degrees using the stock cooler i had for about 2 years. i just recently upgraded to this cooler, my first observation was how silent it was. considering the unit is much more massive i expected at least a similar sound but its really soft with my tower right next to me. i boot up around +3 degrees from room temp and i peaked 59 degrees a couple times now with a maximum load for me, playing a modern video game with a 1080p60fps stream and a file transfer between my hard drives. looking forward to overclocking

> 24 hourJe navais aucun besoin dun refroidisseur aussi performant, cest même un peu excessif pour mon usage personnel, mais je ne regrette absolument pas cet achat ! Je voulais surtout un refroidisseur de processeur qui soit silencieux et je suis servi. Mais je savais à quoi mattendre puisque tout mon système est équipé Noctua.
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.
