To the NH-D14's credit cooling on the Intel sockets was very good, and with the step-down cable deployed, the NH-D14 was quiet as well as effective. Sadly though AMD cooling was hindered by the lack of an effective rear exhaust system – the 140mm fan just...
Very good cooling performance, Very well made, Multisocket compatible, Includes lots of extras, Good temps with single or even no fans, Good for overclocking
Massive in size, might not fit in many cases, Depending on mother board configuration it can come very close to the video card, Issue with backplate not fitting (most likely a case specific problem though), Installation can take some time depending on you...
Despite the minor issues I came across, the Noctua Nh-D14 is very capable and excellent performing CPU cooler. It's very well made, and it is one of the best air coolers on the market today. If you're an overclocker, but don't want water or ot...
Much like any other Noctua review, we can can do nothing else than to acknowledge the fact that this is once again is a superb product. The cooling performance is massive, the noise levels very acceptable. By releasing the NH-D14, Noctua places an ver...
Superb performance, Silent, Well packed, Fan speed regulators included
Size
This is a huge cooler, but the thing is that it doesn't weigh alot in the end. Of course it weighs more than the normal ones but it still pretty light weight for its size. Results are very good but question is if its worth having this huge cooler for...
Abstract: Is there such thing as overkill? Clearly, the folks at Noctua don’t believe so. Its NH-D14 looks more like two radiators crammed together, separated by a pair of cooling fans. Of course, the array comes together at its base, connected by no fewer than six heatpipes per block of aluminum fins...
After seeing the performance results, the best way to sum up the Noctua NH-D14 is that it is an absolute juggernaut of a cooler, plain and simple. It utterly crushed the competition, and keep in mind, these were not second-rate heatsinks that were beat...
Holy mother of…things just got worse. Not only does the cooler suffer from compatibility issues but it is expensive to boot. Sometimes determining the value of a heat sink is tough and sometimes it is easy. At the current time of writing this coole...
Abstract: At first I want to thank Jakob from Noctua for providing me the NH-D14 CPU cooler to be tested and reviewed.Noctua is a company from Austria and has already launched some very high quality cooling devices for personal computers.One of them was the NH-U...
You may think that the difference in peak temperature between Noctua NH-D14 and Thermalright IFX-14 is quite insignificant, since the newcomer won only 1-3°C. However, even this seemingly small difference becomes quite significant considering that Ther...
