Greater than one weekVery 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.

16-12-2024I 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.

> 3 daySo Ive had this cooler for a few months now and absolutely no complaints, it tames my ryzen 7 5800x no problem. I have the fan in low profile mode with the fan blowing towards the socket. Ive done multiple tests where Ive had the fan blowing away from the socket and I saw that it will run 5-7 degrees hotter. Definitely recommend for a semi low profile build with a reasonably hot CPU. Installing this was a breeze with the secufirm mounting system, not sure about Intel since AMD is clearly Superior but Im sure its just as easy.

> 3 dayWorks very well, huge fan and cooling area. I bought a second one for another build.
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.
