> 3 dayIt 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!

Greater than one weekthis cooler works great, and its quiet, even without using the noise reduction attachment. it is a monster though. its just huge, and its heavy. but it works. it keeps the CPU cooler than anything i have ever seen with the Intel stock fans.

Greater than one weekI 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.

> 3 dayThe main plate on the heatsink had a scratch across it. Im not sure how this happened as there was no damage to the packaging and the protective cover was in the correct place. If I built my computer within the 30day return period I would have returned it to Amazon. I reached out to Noctua and their customer service said it wont affect cooling performance and might actually improve it. I think thats just a joke, if it improved cooling performance then they should prescratch all of their heatsinks, Lol.

Greater than one weekmuch 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 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.
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.
