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

I was very disappointed when I opened the package to see that there was thermal compound already on the cooler as seen in the pics. A couple of fins on the cooler was also a bent at the edges.

I am giving the product 5 stars but not the customer experience. I received this, bought brand new, and gave as a gift. I was extremely embarrassed when the recipient opened the box and parts were free floating in the box. Two of the plastic bags parts were supposed to be in were ripped open. There was heat compound all over the metal plate. This was an obvious return no one bothered to check. While the part itself is great it took an additional 30 minutes to clean it and make sure all parts were in the box. Installation was fairly simple. I was impressed with that. My partial refund has yet to be credited to my account 24 hours later but that is an amazi problem, not a product problem.

So Ive had this cooler for a few months now and absolutely no complaints, it tames my ryzen 7 5800x no problem. I have the fan in low profile mode with the fan blowing towards the socket. Ive done multiple tests where Ive had the fan blowing away from the socket and I saw that it will run 5-7 degrees hotter. Definitely recommend for a semi low profile build with a reasonably hot CPU. Installing this was a breeze with the secufirm mounting system, not sure about Intel since AMD is clearly Superior but Im sure its just as easy.

I bought this one for my sons computer, since I am really impressed by the performance of the NH-D15. This is way nicer looking CPU Cooler than the NH-D15 and the temperature performance is just few degrees higher. I guess beauty has its price. Anyhow, I offered my son my NH-D15 for this one, and he refused. I told him that the NH-D15 is more capable, more expensive, but no. My son says that he also cares how his PC looks. All in all, if this CPU can handle my sons AMD nuclear power station (his computer is hot), I am highly recommending it.

Best CPU air cooler Ive used, hands down. I ended up replacing the fan with Noctaus Industrial 140mm PWM fan just for the black vs brown but the included fan is excellent if youre ok with Noctua fleshy-beige (Im not haha)

much smaller than most 140 mm heat sinks. its foot print is amazingly low. despite being slightly more compact and substantially smaller footprint. it performs much better than coolers that are far larger and interfere more

It is pricey but doesnt compromise on anything. Super easy installation process and they even include a long screwdriver just in case you dont have one that is long enough. Plenty of clearance for ram and top pcie slot. Also the included fan is awesome: high performance with low noise.

This is a top notch product from a highly reputable company. Couldnt be happier.
