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

Included mounting system is very simple and easy to install. Fits snugly in my Cooler Master NR200, and can easily keep my Ryzen 7 5800X under control at stock speeds. Included fan is reasonably quiet for such a large setup.

this 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.

works great on a standard clocked 8700K

As with any Noctua product, its excellent. A little lighter than my D14, and I like that you can change the orientation to assist with avoiding other components on the motherboard. The ability to mount the fan (or 2) in low profile or high clearance is nice as well. Running games, the temperature only goes around 15-20C above ambient, which is great! I just wish Noctua would go away from the bland beige colour.

Quality product, good fit, silent operation

On 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.

Got this with the NM-AM4 Mounting Kit for my R7 1700, the stock heat-sink wasnt able to cool my processor at stock clocks for some reason. Installing this heat-sink was a bit of a pain in the Corsair 100R Silent but is well worth it as with stock clocks my temps dropped to 1-2 degrees above ambient. I have been able to overclock my CPU with this to 3.9Ghz at 1.3625v but have settled with 3.8Ghz at 1.25v as the voltage jump was too much for me. Max temperature with the 3.8Ghz overclock is 75C with Prime 95 running for about 30 minutes and idling temperature is 30C.

Returned for a stronger product.

You can never go wrong with Noctua when it comes to cpu coolers or fans. Just top notch performance.

This thing is a fantastic beast of heat dissipation with the single fan it comes with. Add another on top and I dunno you must be overclocking at the limits, ut Im sure it will handle it. Also very quiet in operation even under stress testing. My only caution is in my title. It comes with Id say the perfect install phillips tool but its hard to see , and unless you do say 4 or 5 of these you wont have the feel for it. Usually one of the two screws is in a hard to observe area so do that one first the second one is easy. Also seeing between the fan blades and getting a good side shot, well an endoscope would have come in handy there. Also with all the attempts I did lose some skin to the cooling vanes. The manufacture warns that once installed dont travel with the computer without first uninstalling the cooler, its heavy enough and in such a small area attachment point I believe it may break off the motherboard in transit or if the desktop falls a few feet. In the end Noctua, you have done it , and delivered
