Greater than one weekThis is the second time I buy NH-C14S and my fifth time purchasing one of noctua products, and its my first time time having a problem with one of them.

> 3 dayNot good enough for a i9 13900K, as the temperature spike uncomfortably high and the fans keep on spinning too fast with every other effort by the CPU, but very compact and probably great with processors that produce less heat. Go for the NH-D15 if you have a power hungry 13th gen top processor, those are up to the task in a well ventilated case.

> 3 dayGood size for medium to large case. I was putting it in a Kolink case which is on the smaller end of medium and it was a very tight squeeze. Works like a charm though so once its in it stays. Very efficient cooler. I highly recommend it.

> 3 dayI love this fan/heatsink. Its pretty much silent, which is awesome compared to my previous fan that was causing noise pollution with its whine. I can now hear myself think again. It easily clears RAM and motherboard heatsink (my motherboard has a big MSI heatsink on it). Its a big fan/heatsink but it fit comfortably enough on my motherboard and in my case. I mounted the fan on top instead of on bottom because it was a little easier to install and it looks cool through the window on the side of my case. Installation was a bit of a pain but the provided instructions were clear and I didnt run into any major issues. The packaging was pretty impressive for something so utilitarian...everything felt like a premium product. It comes with everything you need including a screwdriver!
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.
