> 24 hourWe preferentially use Noctua heatsinks because they perform well at a reasonable pricepoint and the NH-C14S is no exception. Very easy to mount and unless youre chasing the every last tenth of a degree of cooling, the included thermal paste precludes the need to buy an additional product.

> 24 hourDidnt come with alternative mounting kit for AMD. You can only mount it horizontally.

> 24 hourYou cant go wrong with Noctua. I bought this when I converted my old PC into a NAS and the original water cooler was end of life after 8 years! The Noctua seems to keep the temps about the same as the water cooler did. I have a big fan controller on the front and I can see the temps all the time so I know if its getting hot, which it does not. My ambient temps are around 75 max and the CPU is always below 30C, no O/C and running freenas OS. Fan is quiet but not completely silent, gets only a little louder when the fan controller kicks it into high. Still not bad. The case fans are louder.

> 24 hourWorks great! Brought my cpu temperature (ryzen 3700) down from 82-83 C under stress test to 74-76 C.

> 24 hourPut on an Intel i7 11700KF, 125 tdp. Stressing cpu runs at 60C max using 105-110 watts. Normal usage runs 34C to 43C. Idles at 26C. Happy customer, didnt get anything as low or stable using AIO water coolers. Install was easy enough as long as you follow the instructions. Fan is quiet, havent been able to get it to go over 50% yet. Board temp good to, only 26C. Might not be as pretty or cool as the AIOs but Im more into protecting my electronics.

> 24 hourThis 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

> 24 hourBest CPU air cooler Ive used, hands down. I ended up replacing the fan with Noctaus Industrial 140mm PWM fan just for the black vs brown but the included fan is excellent if youre ok with Noctua fleshy-beige (Im not haha)
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.
