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

Product Information

The use of a backplate is all but vital with larger coolers or higher mounting pressures, as managing board flex quickly becomes a dangerous game to play. Complying with the open SecuFirm standard, the NH-C14S can be made compatible with the older LGA1366 and LGA775 sockets using the optional NM-I3 mounting kit, which is provided by Noctua free of charge. In addition, the maximum fan speed can be reduced from 1500 to 1200 RPM using the supplied Low-Noise Adaptor for even quieter operation.

Run 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. The NH-C14S comes with one 140mm fan while the old NH-C14 had two 140mm fans with a maximum RPM of 1200.

I was just looking at some low profile HSF solutions for a SFF AMD ITX system I have kicking around.Topped off with the trusted, pro-grade SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system, Noctua's proven NT-H1 thermal compound and full six years manufacturer's warranty, the NH-C14S is a premium quality top-flow solution for the highest demands. 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. This is something that many reviewers take for granted when testing CPU coolers and believe it or not, it makes a world of difference. Six nickel plated heatpipes are sandwiched between the copper base of the cooler and its bulky aluminum top. We will be testing the NH-C14S with our regular system setup and that is with the 3770K overclocked to 4.
