Noctua NH-C14S, Premium CPU Cooler with NF-A14 PWM 140mm Fan (Brown)

ケースはクーラーマスターのNR200で5950xに使用していますが、サイドからうまく吸気してくれるのでよく冷えます。

First 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.

Mounting issue. When I lay the case flat down horizontally like a HTPC or rack server, the performance is almost as good as my Noctua D15s. Once I shift the case into normal vertical orientation, temperatures went from 63 to 72 degree Celsius real fast (Ive remounted and tested this multiple times). Ive also tested this with the heat pipes facing in every possible direction except for top-to-bottom, as instructed by Noctua. I guess this cooler is more suited towards HTPC chassis such as Fractal Node 304, because performance takes a hit if you use it in a tower case. My theory is that either the concave base loses optimal contact with the processor when positioned in a vertical orientation, or the bent heat pipes have trouble in that configuration, which might also explains the varying results from many different professional reviews on the Internet.

大抵ＣＰＵ付属のクーラーで済ませているのですが、Ryzen3900Xで８０°Ｃ、ファンもゴーっと鳴ってることから、十数年ぶりにクーラー買いました。マザーボード　X470 Master SLI ケース　Antec nine hundred　　グラフィックカード　MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ti AERO で、用途はPremiere等での動画の編集です。　NH-U12Aも考えましたが、ケースの大きさが心配で。　取りつけは思ったよりもずっと簡単でした。　若干４ピン8ピンのケーブルが通り道になってはしまいますが(下側にファンをつけたので）、何とかつながりました。 レンダリング中１２°くらい下がった感じで、まあよいのではないかと思ってます。音はものすごく静かというわけではないように感じますが、このケースなので他のファンの音と混ざっているから・・・少なくても「ごー」ではないので、よいかと思ってます。夏場になるともう少し厳しいのかもしれません。

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

Average Temperature of CPU dropped ~10F with this cooler. Absolutely quiet as well.

Very expensive, but really great quality. it is quiet and keeps my processor cool. I switched from a closed loop liquid cooler which had lost its coolant due to permeation over around 8 years. Its really nice not having to worry about leaks with this air cooler. It may not be quite as cool as the liquid cooler, but air coolers have less to worry about. it is very heavy, so its recommended not to transport it with the heatsink on. If you do a lot of transporting, you may want to pick a lighter one if possible. I did transport mine over an hour and it was okay when I got back to my apartment. Definitely be careful and think about the orientation of the heatsink when you transport the computer. But overall really great cooler. It keeps my cpu cool without any noise.

You can never go wrong with Noctua when it comes to cpu coolers or fans. Just top notch performance.

Pictures dont do it justice. This is a big cooler. Albeit the thing still fits. Great cooling.

I 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.
