Greater than one weekIt was a bit difficult to install in my mid size case but work the effort. It has dropped CPU temp 20 degree C and is almost silent.

11-06-2025Good 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.

Greater than one weekThis product was the largest CPU cooler that would fit in my case. The dinky 92mm cooler tower that the prebuilt came with would ramp up to 4400rpms to keep the 12700k from cooking itself. The noise was very unpleasant from the recliner 12 feet away. Now that the noise is almost undetectable when the C14s ramps up the fan. Its a pretty cooler also if you mount the fan under the heatsink. 10/10

> 3 dayVery quiet, inaudible from more than 2 feet at idle, and temps are very low. Used in HTPC with fan blowing up from below heatsink, the draft probably helps cool the memory because the fan is right above it.

> 3 daythis cooler works great, and its quiet, even without using the noise reduction attachment. it is a monster though. its just huge, and its heavy. but it works. it keeps the CPU cooler than anything i have ever seen with the Intel stock fans.
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.
