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

I love this fan/heatsink. Its pretty much silent, which is awesome compared to my previous fan that was causing noise pollution with its whine. I can now hear myself think again. It easily clears RAM and motherboard heatsink (my motherboard has a big MSI heatsink on it). Its a big fan/heatsink but it fit comfortably enough on my motherboard and in my case. I mounted the fan on top instead of on bottom because it was a little easier to install and it looks cool through the window on the side of my case. Installation was a bit of a pain but the provided instructions were clear and I didnt run into any major issues. The packaging was pretty impressive for something so utilitarian...everything felt like a premium product. It comes with everything you need including a screwdriver!

Ive always recommended Noctua CPU coolers and fans and have personally installed a LOT of them to great success. The last recording studio workstation built I used this same cooler on an i9-9900k in the low profile configuration in a 3U rack case, it gave years of service nice and quiet - honestly almost silent, which is important in a control room. In fact, that system is still running quietly.

Big, beefy cooler for my OC needs. Definitely worth the price.

Well made. Cools so much better then the stock RGB 4 heatpipe cooler. Extremely quiet! 14cm included fan makes zero noise even at 1500 rpm on an open Lian li test bench. Amazing !!

I am using this on a 2700X CPU and a Tomahawk B450 Board and right now it is running at 105 degrees F ... It is quiet but then again I am not a gamer but it seems to do the job ... even when my CPU is maxed out I have only seen the temp. in the 120 Degree area, wish I could say the same for my GPU ... but it is a older one, to be replaced soon... If you have a M/ATX case it wont fit, I can tell you from experience ... one way it gets interfered with by the Blue Ray Drive and the other way by the rear fan... it is a big unit ... I see people complain about the colors of the fan, if that is the case order a 140MM that you like but I really like a quietness and I have maxed it out.... You can mount the fan on the top or on the bottom and yes it clears the memory .... Hope this helps guide your decisions ... I am really beginning to think on these reviews that some people just like to downgrade everything ... I am happy with everything in my system

First Noctua cooler and very easy to install. One recommendation would be to verify if there are any compatibility with motherboard, case and ram. During the installation in Fractal Design Torrent Nano, needed to rotate the cooler 180 degrees BUT cannot install an exhaust fan in the case due to the size of the cooler.

Great product! It cool down my old AMD Fx8350 and is quiet too. New fan of the Noctua’s fans. ;)

Noctua cant be beat for quality and performance, lowest noise and uncompromising support! Not the bling some other brands offer, but Im always going to put function first in my PC.

You can tell this brand cares about the unboxing experience for their customers. Documentation was easy to ready and clear. Mounting system was easy to install. CPU heatsink was easy to install. Fan was easy to install.

Very well built, as expected from Noctua
