After seeing the performance results, the best way to sum up the Noctua NH-C14 is that it is an outstanding cooler, second only to the Noctua D14. Perhaps more shocking is the fact that it is rare to have a cooler that not only performs well but is als...
The design of the Noctua NH-C14 is nothing mind-blowing, essentially a larger version of the NH-C12P with Noctua's updated (though not that different) universal mounting system and a pair of 14 cm fans. However these more powerful fans allowed the Noc...
Abstract: The Noctua NH-C14 is a big heatsink for sure, but remarkably by orienting the fans and aluminum fin stack in a top-down direction, Noctua keep the heatsinks' height to just 130mm. That's a far cry more compact than your typical 160mm tall tower heatsi...
Versatile. I think that's the main description you should use with the Noctua NH-C14. It comes with two 140mm fans, but you can install both fans, 1 fan above only, 1 fan below only and the reverse. And you can do it all again with the U.L.N.A adapter...

The Noctua NH-C14 is an improvement over the NH-C12 in both size and cooling capability. With this cooler you have the tried and true C style design from Noctua with an added twist. The addition of a second NF-P14 fan to assist the top mounted fan in ...
Abstract: I once heard a very intriguing quote that went something like, "A wise old owl sat on an oak. The more he saw, the less he spoke. The less he spoke, the more he heard. Why aren't we like the wise old bird?" Let's pull up some of our good old high schoo...
Noctua has a long history when it comes to designing high performance, low noise cooling solutions and the NH-C14 continues this tradition of excellence with a surprisingly versatile downdraft heatsink. There have been plenty of manufacturers claiming ...

Great Performance, High Quality
Nothing Major, I'd like to thank Noctua for sending us the NH-C14. If you have any questions, comments, or general feedback, please leave it at the "Comments" link below, << Prev - Next
The Noctua NH-C14 isn't really a "New" cooler from Noctua, more like an "Improved" version of the original. Seeing as the original scored very well in our testing I was quite certain that the NH-C14 would do the same. This cooler is a great design and if...
Abstract: Noctua is not new to the market but it has started to make big waves with Australians in the past 12 months. Another addition to its already strong collection of heatsinks is the NH-C14, targeted at the HTPC market but offering much more.The C14 is a t...

It isn't like Noctua has to do much to impress me; I for one am sold on the heavy-duty "feel" of their coolers, and the silence I get in my room while I type this to you. Taking a NH-C12P SE14 and dosing it with steroids has resulted with them impre...
