About this deal

The cooler only works well when put in a system where the case exhaust runs parallel to the fans on the C14S. Like all Noctua fans, the supplied NF-A14 features an MTBF rating of more than 150,000 hours and the entire NH-C14S package comes with a full six years manufacturer’s warranty. Registered office: Klarna UK Limited, 7th Floor, 33 Cavendish Square, London, W1G 0PW, United Kingdom. Alongside with the mounting hardware, Noctua is also offering a basic screwdriver for the installation of the cooler, a fan speed reducer, a metallic case badge and a syringe with NT-H1 thermal compound. The NF-A14 premium fan supplied with the NH-C14S supports PWM for convenient automatic speed control through the motherboard.

If you lower your target temperature setting (to something like 80c or 85c) what happens next is the CPU will still boost as high as it can, but only until that temperature threshold is met. At the same time, the new offset layout allows it to clear the top PCIe slot on most µATX and ATX motherboards. so the results may not be 100% precise but it should give you a clear indication of the noise levels for the cooler. High cooling capacity combined with a low noise level are the central concern of coming from Austria manufacturer here. However, this may change in the future, so the future-proofing aspect of this guarantee is still appreciated.There are always exceptions to this, there's a handful of manufacturers out there that offer the really interesting stuff, the kit and gear that really stand out from the cooling crowd, the hardware you and me crave and need so badly.

The central, lower, heatpipe has extra bracing soldered to it, to ensure the cooler does not sag over time, and can handle the rigors of transport to a LAN party, or just general gravitational forces. Arriving with the Noctua NH-C14S is the NH-D15S which Editor-in-Chief Jonathan Kwan has reviewed in the past week.As we have seen with recent Noctua products, the NH-C14S retail packaging follows a similar design scheme, with the product name written on the side, and some key specifications listed underneath. Right from the start with Noctua coolers, and in the case of NH-C14S, you have a very well built and massive package. The SecuFirm2 mounting kits ensure the Noctua NH-C14S can work with a wide range of sockets, from Intel's LGA2011 and LGA115x sockets, to AMD's AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1, FM2, and FM2+ sockets.

I was just looking at some low profile HSF solutions for a SFF AMD ITX system I have kicking around.Thus we fired up Prime95 and threw it into full throttle to really see what this cooler was made of. It has no trouble keeping my overclocked Intel 4790k cpu cool and the down blowing fan keeps the RAM and other components cool. The fan in top-mount mode – great for motherboard component clearance, not so great for smaller cases.

Noctua NH-C14S looks amazing and absolutely obliterates the space between the CPU and side panel, just a massive cooler. With the fact that Noctua designed this one to help cool the ever so evolving HTPC cases and systems, makes them even a better company that stands out from the rest. It is hard to argue with that sentiment with such a long track record of success with the exceptional NH-D15 and NH-D14 before it, or the NH-U12S and NH-U14S.It seems Noctua mounted the fan like this to reduce the packaging size – the fan mounting brackets in this layout are set up for the fan to sit on top of the cooler, blowing down. The accessories and mounting hardware are in separate boxes while the heatsink and fan are in another.
