    Arguably one of the best air coolers out there for an SFF build. (5900x)

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

    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.

    Absolutely Amazing Cooler. It Looks So Cool In My Case. Installed Easy. Did I Mention That It Looks Cool?

    After 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.

    It is a giant cooler with low profile and compact height to fit in my corsair air 240. I use it to cool my r3 2200g, since its an entry level CPU, this cooler is able to run without fan and give me an ultra quiet result. R3 2200g with no fan usually run under 40 degree c, nice!

    Got this with the NM-AM4 Mounting Kit for my R7 1700, the stock heat-sink wasnt able to cool my processor at stock clocks for some reason. Installing this heat-sink was a bit of a pain in the Corsair 100R Silent but is well worth it as with stock clocks my temps dropped to 1-2 degrees above ambient. I have been able to overclock my CPU with this to 3.9Ghz at 1.3625v but have settled with 3.8Ghz at 1.25v as the voltage jump was too much for me. Max temperature with the 3.8Ghz overclock is 75C with Prime 95 running for about 30 minutes and idling temperature is 30C.

    Good size for medium to large case. I was putting it in a Kolink case which is on the smaller end of medium and it was a very tight squeeze. Works like a charm though so once its in it stays. Very efficient cooler. I highly recommend it.

    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.

    Its keeping my AMD Ryzen 7 3700X cool! Its great for my HTPC case. I game with it pretty much daily and never have any throttling issues! The fact that it faces toward the io shield gives it an extra bonus for not mattering about ram height. Im adding a picture of it next to the L12S. This was a larger cooler but since it faces a different direction I have more room to work then I had with the Noctua L12S.

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 Mode

Run 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 Mode

Run 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 fan

Featuring 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 compound

Noctua’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.
