    This is a great cooler if youre hoping to get some airflow on the motherboard around the cpu. Its also very quiet.

    I purchased this CPU cooler based on the reputation of the company and other user reviews on multiple sites. It appears to be working well with my high end i7 processor. The fan is super quiet which is a definite plus.

    Im using this with the fan under the heatsink blowing down onto the motherboard. My V750 SFX PSU is mounted to the front for neater cable management and cooler clearance. Im using Corsair CMK16GX4M2Z3200C16 memory. Plenty of memory and motherboard clearance. I scavenged a NF-A15 off my old NH-U14S cooler as a push fan. Running SOTTR benchmark 3 times on ULTRA settings, the CPU temp was no more than 57C with an ambient 22C (CPU fans set to silent in BIOS). Im still finalizing the build and will likely replace the NF-A15 with a NF-A14 PWM fan, since the A15 has half the air flow as the A14.

    I am using this on a 2700X CPU and a Tomahawk B450 Board and right now it is running at 105 degrees F ... It is quiet but then again I am not a gamer but it seems to do the job ... even when my CPU is maxed out I have only seen the temp. in the 120 Degree area, wish I could say the same for my GPU ... but it is a older one, to be replaced soon... If you have a M/ATX case it wont fit, I can tell you from experience ... one way it gets interfered with by the Blue Ray Drive and the other way by the rear fan... it is a big unit ... I see people complain about the colors of the fan, if that is the case order a 140MM that you like but I really like a quietness and I have maxed it out.... You can mount the fan on the top or on the bottom and yes it clears the memory .... Hope this helps guide your decisions ... I am really beginning to think on these reviews that some people just like to downgrade everything ... I am happy with everything in my system

    This is a poorly designed product that does not fit standard motherboard form factors.

    this 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.

    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

    Got this with the NM-AM4 Mounting Kit for my R7 1700, the stock heat-sink wasnt able to cool my processor at stock clocks for some reason. Installing this heat-sink was a bit of a pain in the Corsair 100R Silent but is well worth it as with stock clocks my temps dropped to 1-2 degrees above ambient. I have been able to overclock my CPU with this to 3.9Ghz at 1.3625v but have settled with 3.8Ghz at 1.25v as the voltage jump was too much for me. Max temperature with the 3.8Ghz overclock is 75C with Prime 95 running for about 30 minutes and idling temperature is 30C.

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 Mode

Run 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 Mode

Run 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 fan

Featuring 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 compound

Noctua’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.
