The Noctua NH-C14S somewhat matches in performance around Noctua NH-D15. That's impressive considering a single NF-A14 PWM fan and a single heatsink type design. On top of it, it's an offset design which lets you install on many motherboards without being...

Abstract: It seems air coolers a bit like buses, having only just waved one off, another two hove into view. These two buses come in the shape of the Noctua NH-C14S and NH-D15S. It does of course go without saying that Noctua are well known for their absolutely unc...
This heatsink kept up with the big boys. If you want a blow-down heatsink to cool your CPU and your RAM, the NH-C14S does a remarkable job. Additionally, there is room for most RAM, even with the fan in a pull position. The contents were laid out in a...

The NH-C14S takes the already great design of the NH-C14 and refines it to a new level. What does the NH-C14S bring to the table? It gets the job done with a single, more powerful fan, and the new offset of the fin stack provides clearance for the first P...
Here we are at the end of the Noctua NH-C14S review, and we are left with some interesting results. For one, Noctua quality stands tall here. Build quality is top notch, in both sturdiness and consistency. Design choices have been taken from their tried a...
If you're planning to build a system where compatibility is an essential aspect, you'll never go wrong with the Secu-Firm2 mounting system of the Noctua NH-C14S. The cooler is very easy to setup, maintain, and remove; plus, there's also room for an extra...
Impressive thermal performance, especially for a low profile cooler , Multiple fan positions to suit most case traints, Premium build quality, Compatible with more motherboards due to the offset design, Easy to mount
Impressive thermal performance, especially for a low profile cooler , Multiple fan positions to suit most case traints, Premium build quality, Compatible with more motherboards due to the offset design, Easy to mount, Not cheap
With a street price of $125, both the NH-C14S and the NH-D15S are the most expensive CPU coolers available from Noctua. It's fair to say that the NH-C14S isn't cheap but it's a product designed to suit a particular niche and buyers need to remember that t...
With the NHC14S, Noctua has definitely created a powerful CPU cooler, which also features good looks and high quality finish The overall build quality is excellent and on the expected high level, as for instance, the nickel plated finish is perfect Apart...

None, “The Noctua NH-C14S is simply one of the best coolers on the market today, with a fantastic visual design, great system compatibility, virtually silent operation and so more!”, Noctua NH-C14S C-Type Premium Cooler Review, Thank you, Noctua, for pro
Price The Noctua NH-C14S is available from Scan Computers for £60.19, and let's be honest, that's a lot of money for an air cooler, but given the quality on offer, it's a very competitive price vs the overall performance. Also, let's take note that Noctua...
