> 24 hourI was a slightly concerned about this fitting with the fan on the TOP of the cooler and still being able to fit in my Hyte Revolt 3 case. It turns out that it fits perfectly. To the millimeter.

> 24 hourI went with the NH-C14S due to advertised limitations on cooler height with my Cooler Master Silencio 352 mATX case. I found out later that a taller cooler may have fit, but I dont regret the choice.

> 24 hourVery quiet, inaudible from more than 2 feet at idle, and temps are very low. Used in HTPC with fan blowing up from below heatsink, the draft probably helps cool the memory because the fan is right above it.

> 24 hourGood thermals, quick install, and it fits my CoolerMaster NR200 just right.

> 24 hourUsed this for an Intel i7-12700K. Works well to keep the CPU cool, even under intense gaming, or running several virtual machines, video processing, etc.

> 24 hourWorks great, keeps the I9-9900 (auto OC 41%) cool and is very quiet. My first Noctua and will use it again over water cooling.

> 24 hourI wanted a better cooling solution for my gaming / htpc. It is in a Grandia GD08B case. I love the case, but it has a limit if 138mm for heat sinks. I replaced a Noctua cooler with dual 92mm fans, and this C type cooler with a single 140mm fan idles 9 deg C cooler, and is more quiet as well. I would recommend this cooler for anyone that needs a good cooler in a case with limited height. Check your case height requirement to make sure this fits.

> 24 hourI bought this one for my sons computer, since I am really impressed by the performance of the NH-D15. This is way nicer looking CPU Cooler than the NH-D15 and the temperature performance is just few degrees higher. I guess beauty has its price. Anyhow, I offered my son my NH-D15 for this one, and he refused. I told him that the NH-D15 is more capable, more expensive, but no. My son says that he also cares how his PC looks. All in all, if this CPU can handle my sons AMD nuclear power station (his computer is hot), I am highly recommending it.

> 24 hourUsed on a AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU in a Cooler Master NR200 case. Substantially lower temps on both idle/low load and stress test.
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.
