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

It fits like a glove when you need a low profile, premium air cooled heatsink. This fit just barely in my Corsair Air Carbide 240 MATX cube case and on a Gigabyte GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5 MATX mobo. I had to mount the fan on the bottom side to meet the clearance of the case, but if you have more space, you could add a second fan so that there are dual fans in push-pull config. I have it cooling an I5 6600K which is currently OCd and with Prime 95 running, Im still under 60C.

Trident Z Neo/RGB will fit even with the fan mounted on the bottom!

This thing is a fantastic beast of heat dissipation with the single fan it comes with. Add another on top and I dunno you must be overclocking at the limits, ut Im sure it will handle it. Also very quiet in operation even under stress testing. My only caution is in my title. It comes with Id say the perfect install phillips tool but its hard to see , and unless you do say 4 or 5 of these you wont have the feel for it. Usually one of the two screws is in a hard to observe area so do that one first the second one is easy. Also seeing between the fan blades and getting a good side shot, well an endoscope would have come in handy there. Also with all the attempts I did lose some skin to the cooling vanes. The manufacture warns that once installed dont travel with the computer without first uninstalling the cooler, its heavy enough and in such a small area attachment point I believe it may break off the motherboard in transit or if the desktop falls a few feet. In the end Noctua, you have done it , and delivered

As with any Noctua product, its excellent. A little lighter than my D14, and I like that you can change the orientation to assist with avoiding other components on the motherboard. The ability to mount the fan (or 2) in low profile or high clearance is nice as well. Running games, the temperature only goes around 15-20C above ambient, which is great! I just wish Noctua would go away from the bland beige colour.

I purchased this CPU cooler based on the reputation of the company and other user reviews on multiple sites. It appears to be working well with my high end i7 processor. The fan is super quiet which is a definite plus.

A principal object of this review is to provide the seemingly neclected Dell user with a relatively comprehensive path and projected success in resolving the regular and even dangerous overheating issues which so many of us experience with standard CPU coolers and multi-core processors.

Great packaging, both intel and amd brackets AND a thing-a-majig tool to install it.

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.

The heatsink was very easy to install! it is BIG! but it does give ample room for your video card, being that it is a Little offset from center. Really happy with the purchase.
