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

Product Information

NH-C14S allows mounting of the fan underneath the fin stack making the CPU cooler only 115mm high and ideal for many SFF and HTPC systems.

The NH-L12 does have a larger cousin though – the NH-C14S, a behemoth downdraft cooler designed for high wattage or quiet systems. For example, if a cooler uses a 140mm fan that overhangs the RAM and 46mm tall RAM modules are used, the max. You will notice that Noctua uses internal cardboard boxes to protect the heatsink, fan and all the included accessories.Hotjar sets this cookie to know whether a user is included in the data sampling defined by the site's daily session limit. Right from the start with Noctua coolers, and in the case of NH-C14S, you have a very well built and massive package. As a rule of thumb, if the fan overhangs the RAM, the maximum CPU cooler height specification of the case must be at least the size of the fan plus the height of the RAM minus 7mm (accounting for the height of the socket and CPU). 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. I really think the main contributing factor to the heat in my room is from both the weather, and the fact there is a desktop computer in my room.

Noctua NH-C14S is like a deja vu for me, as I was quite a fan of its predecessor – the NH-C14, which is a C-type cooler with dual cooling fans and offered great performance. At the same time, the new offset layout allows it to clear the top PCIe slot on most micro-ATX and ATX motherboards. This new variation on the older NH-C14 appears to be no more than a minor update until you take a closer look. In their long line of CPU coolers, Noctua introduced the C14-type coolers, especially made for those that require a proper cooler with a relatively low height that is silent.The accessories kit includes two extra fan mounting clips, a screwdriver (not pictured), the NT-H1 thermal paste, a Noctua LNA (Low Noise Adapter) and the metal case badge. This TekSpek explains what AMD’s AMD64 CPU instruction set architecture (ISA) is, shows what CPUs implement it from both AMD and Intel, and explains what software is available to run on those 64-bit consumer processors. For both it is top-down coolers especially recommend accordingly if high cooling capacity to be connected to low height, or a particularly strong ventilation on the side panel is available. Noctua NH-C14S is designed to operate with a supplied Noctua NF-A14 PWM fan (compabitle with many other 140mm fans) with dimensions of 140 x 140 x 25 mm (square frame design), featuring the typical for the company colors, which I will not take the time to categorize, as probably out of 6 billion people in the world, there will be 6 billion different suggestions for the colors used.
