  • The Noctua NH-D14 is by far one of the best CPU coolers that I’ve seen. It’s definitely large and in charge. It provides high quality heatsinks, heatpipes, fans, and thermal compound installed by SecurFirm2 to provide only the best performance results....

  • Abstract:  The Noctua NH-D14 and the Cooler Master Hyper 212+ both earn the Bigbruin.com "Highly Recommended" award. The NH-D14 earns it for it being the top performer in terms of cooling ability, while the Hyper 212+ earns it for doing quite well for a fraction of the price.
