> 3 dayI run a Ryzen 9 3950x, and previously was using a darkrock pro which was awesome, but when I had to transfer cases, I needed something that sat lower, and this thing is perfect! I needed the air to move up and sit low, and this did it. CPU rests idle at 39C and averages 40-63C during heavy use. Crazy awesome performance. And the packaging? Youd think I bought a Tesla. It was wrapped with perfection. Love it.

> 3 dayIncluded mounting system is very simple and easy to install. Fits snugly in my Cooler Master NR200, and can easily keep my Ryzen 7 5800X under control at stock speeds. Included fan is reasonably quiet for such a large setup.

> 3 dayWanted a quiet but substantial cooler for an i9 cpu. One of the problems is a number of air coolers are a tight squeeze in most computer cases. This cooler will likely fit most cases.

> 3 dayFirst Noctua cooler and very easy to install. One recommendation would be to verify if there are any compatibility with motherboard, case and ram. During the installation in Fractal Design Torrent Nano, needed to rotate the cooler 180 degrees BUT cannot install an exhaust fan in the case due to the size of the cooler.

> 3 dayI decided to go with a top-down cooler for my mini-ITX build (ASUS STRIX B550-I) to cool my Ryzen 7 3700X, as well as provide airflow to the motherboard in a small form factor case (Cooler Master NR200). This certainly does just that, but beware of the rather cumbersome cable management that comes with this because of how the heatsink gets in the way of accessing some motherboard I/O and power connectors.

05-06-2025I installed this for a friend on a 3950X with only the single fan it came with and he has no problems keeping it under full load 24/7 at stock clocks. Very impressive cooler yet again from Noctua.

> 3 dayThe heatsink was very easy to install! it is BIG! but it does give ample room for your video card, being that it is a Little offset from center. Really happy with the purchase.
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.
