  • Excellent cooling performance, Two fans that are user configurable, 5 year warranty, Easy to follow installation guide, Very easy installation process
  • Size, which can pose some clearance issue
  • There are two phrases that sum up the Noctua NH-D14: monstrous size and impressive results. We sort of expected the NH-D14 to perform well because of its unusual size and what we had experienced in the past with other Noctua heatsinks. However, we wer...

  • We must say that the Noctua NH-D14 is designed the way it is for a reason! It works! This is perfect example in which we can say size does matter! PCWizKid was impressed and toke the NH-D14 to the next level with a fully overclocked system in a mid to...

  • Noctua did what they set out to do: made a new cooler that performed better and was just as quiet. If you can shoe horn it in your case, it's well worth the money. ...

  • Sometimes going to the extreme to test a product even to failure can be the best way to see how good the product really is. It tests the limits of the whole construction by putting it under a stress that in a real world enviornment may never occur. By ...

  • As of right now the Noctua NH-D14 is the best cooler we have reviewed to date performance wise. It beat out a couple of my favorites: Prolimatech Megahalems and the Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme. Each of which have been extreme performers. We can account f...
