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

I 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.

The product is excellent.

I purchased this cooler because I had an awkward computer set up. Firstly, the case is too thin for full-sized tower coolers. And secondly, I have high profile memory. This made it almost impossible to find an air cooler that would work in my rig. But the NH-C14S was the answer.

Im so impressed with this fan. I decided to build a gaming PC but wanted it small, so went with the Thermaltake Core V1 case and a mini ITX Z97 board with i5-4690K so I could overclock. I was going to do a self contained water cooler but all the ones around $100 had so so reviews, with most people replacing the fan on the radiator with a Noctua one anyway. So thought Id take a chance and just go air cooling. The fan in the photo looks small but its still huge. Fits fine in my case with the fan under the radiator vs on top like in the photos (it supports both methods as well as adding a second fan). I overclocked my system from 3.5Ghz to 4.2Ghz and on idle Im running around 26-29 degrees C and when using 100% under Prime95 for stress testing I never go over 59. Highest Ive ever seen it hit was 61. Even when on full at 59 degrees the fan is insanely quiet, to the point that I had to turn the TV right off to try and hear it. With the system on the floor you cant hear it at all. Very impressed and highly recommended. Photo shows my rig with it installed to show the size.

Anything Noctua gets a thumps up!

Its huge and quite. Please prepare a big computer case.

大抵ＣＰＵ付属のクーラーで済ませているのですが、Ryzen3900Xで８０°Ｃ、ファンもゴーっと鳴ってることから、十数年ぶりにクーラー買いました。マザーボード　X470 Master SLI ケース　Antec nine hundred　　グラフィックカード　MSI GeForce GTX 1660 Ti AERO で、用途はPremiere等での動画の編集です。　NH-U12Aも考えましたが、ケースの大きさが心配で。　取りつけは思ったよりもずっと簡単でした。　若干４ピン8ピンのケーブルが通り道になってはしまいますが(下側にファンをつけたので）、何とかつながりました。 レンダリング中１２°くらい下がった感じで、まあよいのではないかと思ってます。音はものすごく静かというわけではないように感じますが、このケースなので他のファンの音と混ざっているから・・・少なくても「ごー」ではないので、よいかと思ってます。夏場になるともう少し厳しいのかもしれません。

much 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

I purchased a Z370 motherboard and installed an I5 8400 CPU and intended on using the stock cooler, since the chip obviously wasnt going to be overclocked, and runs pretty cool compared to the Sandy Bridge CPU it replaced. That was last November.

Es extraordinaria la calidad de esta marca, y me llevé la sorpresa que era compatible como lga1700 aunque la descripcción no lo menciobaba...
