Review on ๐Ÿซ Noctua NH-C14S, High-Performance CPU Cooler with NF-A14 PWM 140mm Fan (Brown) by Marcelo Apriando

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Best air cooler for Cooler Master NR200 case

Great cooler especially for Cooler Master NR200 case. I installed it on an Asrock H470 ITX motherboard for an Intel Core i7 10700 processor. The motherboard allows me to run the processor at 125W compared to the standard 65W Intel processor. Noctua rated this cooler at a maximum of 205W, but if you add a second fan in a push-pull configuration, it matches or slightly exceeds the NH-U12A. I tested this cooler with both single and dual fans running on handbrake; My CPU lives between 65C and 70C when running i7 at 100% load at 125W in single fan mode. Without the bottom fan, I have easy access to the motherboard and RAM. Overall a great air cooler. I wasn't sure if it would be up to the task, so I ordered a monoblock with a 280mm radiator. this AIO has never been used as the NH-C14S does a great job.

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • Sad hardware
