> 3 daymuch smaller than most 140 mm heat sinks. its foot print is amazingly low. despite being slightly more compact and substantially smaller footprint. it performs much better than coolers that are far larger and interfere more

> 3 dayi Love the innovation of the mount style,. I mounted the noctua fan underneath and a 14 inch rgb fan on top , no problems dissapating the 125w tdp of the overclocked i9 with the bonus of dragging fresh air over the VRMs and ram

> 3 dayIt worked, but I expected more from this massive thing. My much smaller NH-U9S out preforms this giant. I do love how it looks in low profile mode,

> 3 dayJe 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.

> 3 dayYou can tell this brand cares about the unboxing experience for their customers. Documentation was easy to ready and clear. Mounting system was easy to install. CPU heatsink was easy to install. Fan was easy to install.

> 3 dayPerfect fit with enough clearance to access RAM. Not much else to say as its Noctua...only 2 wishes , 1 you had an option to have black a fan over there traditional beige and 2 they gave you an extra fan clip so you could purchase another fan and run push/pull setup.

> 3 dayBought this mainly to boost the overclock of an FX-8320E. I was hoping that the top down design would better cool the surrounding motherboard components. The northbridge is actually running a few degrees hotter. My previous cooler was an old 120 mm Xigmatek tower cooler that cost one third what this one does. It cooled just as well and the Scythe fan on it is quieter than the Noctua 140 mm at load. I sort of feel Ive been taken.

> 3 dayWell made. Cools so much better then the stock RGB 4 heatpipe cooler. Extremely quiet! 14cm included fan makes zero noise even at 1500 rpm on an open Lian li test bench. Amazing !!
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.
