> 3 dayFit perfectly on my Asus Prime z370-a mobo for an Intel i7-8700k cpu, inside a Corsair Spec-Alpha case. Super quiet. I added a second fan to it and I can still use all of the memory slots.

> 3 dayThis cooler was a fantastic choice for my mini-itx build. Currently paired with a ryzen 5 3600 and it idles at 35°C. In a mini-itx build that is outstanding. The interchangeable design was the only reason I was able to fit this cooler into such a small build. Standing at only 115mm with the 140mm fan on the bottom allowed me enough clearance for my ripjaws V ram plus some smaller cables. Of course since were talking about noctua, theres is little to no audible sound at idle will only hearing a slight hum at full load. Temps at 100% maxed out at 75°C. This cooler is well worth the premium price.

Greater than one weekworks great on a standard clocked 8700K

> 3 dayI built a system around this (and the case), aiming for a quiet PC and got exactly that. I followed the directions exactly. It is not only quiet, but effective. I didnt test the stock cooler for my Ryzen 5600x cpu, but even lacking that comparison, I can say this exceeded expectations. I would buy again.

> 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.

> 3 dayThis is a FANtastic product from a FANtastic company. Everything from the motherboard mounts to all the little things included such as a extender for the fan power and a tube of thermal paste. I had a couple of questions and their Customer support staff is AWESOME!

> 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 dayBought this for my NCASE M1 and this cooler delivered. Silent and performs more or less like Noctuas tower coolers like U12s and U12a. Definitely performed better than my old U9S from Noctua as well

> 3 dayNice piece of gear. Easy to install, and fit easily inside Coolermaster n200 case. Temps have been very cool with included single fan in downward orientation.
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.
