Abstract: If you're a regular visitor to the pages of OC3D you'll no have noticed a bit of dearth of cooler reviews. The reason for this is simple, we've retired the old 2011 rig and have been busy specking up and putting together a new test rig. Not that the 2011...

Expansion slot use may be prevented when using this cooler, Weight – it's a heavy cooler!
Well, the Noctua NH-C14S did not fail to deliver on performance one bit! This is perhaps unsurprising considering the size of the product, but with small form factor, every component choice has pros and cons – in this case (pun intended), a larger case ma...

For the NH-C14S you need to understand the purpose, it is silence. Looks aside (and remember you can mount that fan on top as well) it does perform as expected and what you may expect from a proper heatpipe based cooler. The Core i7 4790K we used remains...

The Noctua NH-C14S C-Type Premium CPU Cooler is one heck of a CPU cooler that we would recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their system to get that added bit of performance, don't forget that second NF-A14 fan though!...

Abstract: Over the past several years we've seen the majority of the cooling market move away from beefy tower coolers in favor of various sized radiators in the world of Close loop Coolers. Because of this trend so many manufacturers have abandoned even worrying w...
The Noctua NH-C14S is another excellent cooler with a history. The improvements and up to date socket compatibility make it a class leading cooler in certain circumstances, mainly small chassis set ups or at least cooling areas with certain spacial dimens...
