Greater than one weekArguably one of the best air coolers out there for an SFF build. (5900x)

> 3 dayA principal object of this review is to provide the seemingly neclected Dell user with a relatively comprehensive path and projected success in resolving the regular and even dangerous overheating issues which so many of us experience with standard CPU coolers and multi-core processors.

> 3 dayJe navais aucun besoin dun refroidisseur aussi performant, cest même un peu excessif pour mon usage personnel, mais je ne regrette absolument pas cet achat ! Je voulais surtout un refroidisseur de processeur qui soit silencieux et je suis servi. Mais je savais à quoi mattendre puisque tout mon système est équipé Noctua.

> 3 dayI was very disappointed when I opened the package to see that there was thermal compound already on the cooler as seen in the pics. A couple of fins on the cooler was also a bent at the edges.

> 3 dayFit perfectly on my Asus Prime z370-a mobo for an Intel i7-8700k cpu, inside a Corsair Spec-Alpha case. Super quiet. I added a second fan to it and I can still use all of the memory slots.

> 3 dayBest CPU air cooler Ive used, hands down. I ended up replacing the fan with Noctaus Industrial 140mm PWM fan just for the black vs brown but the included fan is excellent if youre ok with Noctua fleshy-beige (Im not haha)

> 3 dayI installed this for a friend on a 3950X with only the single fan it came with and he has no problems keeping it under full load 24/7 at stock clocks. Very impressive cooler yet again from Noctua.
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.
