Review on 🍫 Noctua NH-C14S, High-Performance CPU Cooler with NF-A14 PWM 140mm Fan (Brown) by Antonio Lemm

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Watch your knuckles and you'll have great lighting and visibility

This thing dissipates heat fantastically thanks to the single fan included. Add one more and I don't know you'll have to push yourself to the limit, but I'm sure it will handle it. It is also very quiet in operation in the stress test. My only caveat is in my title. It comes with what I would say the perfect Phillips installer tool, but it's hard to see and unless you name 4 or 5 of them you won't feel it. Usually, one of the two screws is in a hard-to-see spot, making it easy to make the first the second. To see between the fan blades and get a good side view, it's a good thing that's where an endoscope would come in handy. Also, I lost some skin on the cooling fins in all the attempts. The manufacturer warns against traveling with the computer after installation without first removing the cooler, it is quite heavy and on such a small area I believe that during transport or if the desktop falls a few meters from the motherboard may break. In the end, Noctua, you nailed it and delivered
