> 3 dayI needed a high quality cooler that would fit into a 4U rackmount server case. This one was perfect when configured in the low profile fan setup. Very high quality as you would expect from Noctua.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayI used this in a Silverstone GD08 with a Ryzen 9 5900x. At peak temps in Cinebench I was seeing just under 70C. At idle its completely silent. I compared it directly to a thermalright silver sould 135 and the thermalright was louder but 2-3C cooler. So if its for a sffp and you will be near it constantly, this noctua is probably the best option. But if its going to be rack mounted or you arent going to be near it when it is running, I would go with the thermalright.

Greater than one weekOn par with my corsair h150i pro for performance at 1000 rpm, and the corsair had 3 fans + a pump, and the pump is a very whiney frequency. At less than half the price of the h150i pro, the c14s is a great buy. If your case doesnt have side panel vents, make sure to put the fan on the bottom so you dont choke the airflow by having the fan right up against the glass.

> 3 dayWent through 2 other coolers before landing on this one, returned because they were too large. This was exactly what I was looking for in a mid tower build. Great product!

> 3 dayThis is a great cooler especially for the Cooler Master NR200 case. I have it mounted on a Asrock H470 ITX motherboard for an intel core i7 10700. the motherboard allows me to run the CPU at 125 W vs the stock intel 65 W. Noctua has this cooler rated for 205 W max but if you add a second fan in a push pull config, this will equal that of a NH-U12A or beat it just slightly. I have tested this cooler with both single and dual fans running handbrake; my CPU lives between 65 C and 70 C with a i7 running at 100% load at 125 W in single fan mode. with no bottom fan, I have easy access to the motherboard and ram. overall excellent air cooler. I was unsure if this could handle the task so I ordered an AIO with 280 mm radiator. that AIO has been return never being used because the NH-C14S is excellent at its job.
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.
