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

On Go
> 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 dayBig, beefy cooler for my OC needs. Definitely worth the price.

> 3 daymuch smaller than most 140 mm heat sinks. its foot print is amazingly low. despite being slightly more compact and substantially smaller footprint. it performs much better than coolers that are far larger and interfere more

> 3 dayIve always recommended Noctua CPU coolers and fans and have personally installed a LOT of them to great success. The last recording studio workstation built I used this same cooler on an i9-9900k in the low profile configuration in a 3U rack case, it gave years of service nice and quiet - honestly almost silent, which is important in a control room. In fact, that system is still running quietly.

> 3 dayI am giving the product 5 stars but not the customer experience. I received this, bought brand new, and gave as a gift. I was extremely embarrassed when the recipient opened the box and parts were free floating in the box. Two of the plastic bags parts were supposed to be in were ripped open. There was heat compound all over the metal plate. This was an obvious return no one bothered to check. While the part itself is great it took an additional 30 minutes to clean it and make sure all parts were in the box. Installation was fairly simple. I was impressed with that. My partial refund has yet to be credited to my account 24 hours later but that is an amazi problem, not a product problem.

Greater than one weekThis 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
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.
