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

Under the maximum tension, the i7 6700k did not rise above 50 °. At idle 19°. But it's still winter, maybe a little later it will be higher. I will ate the review. With its pros: Easy installation, blows socket and memory. You can't hear it in the fractal design r5 case. Different cons: I was afraid of some reviews that a heavy cooler could damage the cover of new skylights, so I carefully moved it to its place.

Until recently, I doubted that it would normally fit into a small case (minitower, max cooler height 120 mm). Fortunately, the feeling of an impending "epic failure" for 6K (November 2022) turned out to be false - the millimeters are superbly adjusted. The cooler is not hindered by either the radiators of the motherboard power circuit or the memory (standard height). And he, in turn, does not overlap the first PCIE slot. In general, an excellent choice for fans of hot processors, small cases…

Silence and stability of the system in all operating modes of the computer with a non-overclocked i7-4790K, 4.0 - 4.4 GHz. The cooler works for me, with a side ventilation window on the side wall. Pros: Properly installed Noctua NH-C14S immediately gives 10 degrees C. reduction compared to the boxed one that comes with the Intel i7 -4790K processor Got cons: in a cramped case of 2022, combine the threads blindly (due to the fan with an internal location), running screws with springs without…

Protects my AMD Ryzen 7 3700X from overheating! It fits perfectly in my HTPC case. I play with it almost every day and have never had a problem with throttling! The fact that it faces the I/O shield gives it the added benefit that the height of the ram doesn't matter. I am attaching a picture of him next to the L12S. It was a larger cooler, but because it faces the other way, I had more room to work with than the Noctua L12S.

Very expensive but very high quality. It's quiet and cools my CPU. I switched from a closed circuit chiller that was losing coolant to seepage for about 8 years. Not having to worry about leaks is really nice with this air cooler. It might not be as cool as a liquid cooler, but there's nothing to worry about with an air cooler. It is very heavy, so it is not recommended to transport it with the heatsink installed. If you carry a lot, you can choose a lighter one if possible. I've been moving…

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…

Used on Ryzen 2700 X Mid/Full Tower Corsair Carbide 100R. Keep in mind that the 2700X requires you to purchase a second mounting kit, which is not included in this box and is another $8-$10 at Revain. My CPU is idling at about 47C and OC'd at 4.0GHz. Not nearly the lower prices I wanted. (I've seen other reports of temps hovering around 29C.) I don't overheat or crash even when overclocking to 100%, though, so it runs on the high end to keep temps cooler than the stock option. The installation…

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

I went with the NH-C14S due to the advertised cooler height limitations with my Cooler Master Silencio 352 mATX case. I found out later that a larger cooler would probably fit, but I don't regret my choice. I chose this cooler because I'm a big fan of Noctua's quality and performance and the specs showed it was compatible with my setup. Tests have shown that this cooler is only just behind the big NH-D14, which is incredible considering the C14S only has one row of fins and a 120mm fan rather…

Just installed my NH-C14S. Relevant specs for my setup: mATX MSI Z390M AC motherboard, EVGA 1070 TIthermaltake Core v21 case, Intel i7-8700k processor, 6 Noctua 140mm (ULN type) low noise case fans. RAM Corsair Vengeance 4x16 GB, 2400 MHz. Heatsink for extra power (both fans blow up). Installing a second fan was very easy thanks to the included clamps and Y-splitter cable. My only issue with this product so far has been the actual placement of the heatsink over the CPU. Luckily, Noctua offers a
