> 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 dayAfter switching to this Noctua cooler and Noctua NF-S12A case fans my PC is silent. Not hearing the shifting whine of the stock wraith prism cooler or the motor and bearings of the case fan I had before is worth the money. My temps are fantastic at idle and during a 100% CPU benchmark test. Ryzen 7 2700x.

Greater than one weekI love this cooler, the old school top down style really helps to keep VRM, mosfet and northbridge cool alongside the CPU.

> 3 dayYou 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.

> 3 dayBought this to fit a Silverstone gd09 case for a htpc, just fits and everything works perfectly and is quiet. Highly recommended although its a bit pricey and a little tricky to install

> 3 dayVery good performance, I inmediately noticed an improvement in CPU temperatures.

> 3 dayIm 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.

> 3 dayFirst off, let me say, this cooler is large. Super large.
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.
