“The Noctua NH-C14S is simply one of the best coolers on the market today
The Noctua NH-C14S C-Type premium cooler proves to be silent by using the included NF-A14 PWN fan featuring flow acceleration, a stepped inlet design and inner surface microstructures for smooth and quiet air flow. By attaching the enclosed low-noise adap...

Easy to install, High Quality, Excellent thermal paste included, Excellent component cooling, Height clearences
Fan color may not appeal to eveyone,
The NH-C14S definitely took the cake for C-types. The cooling capabilities are great and the residual airflow cools your motherboard components as well. If you are in the market for a C-type cooler look no further as the NH-C14S will meet your demands. Th...
All in all, the new and improved Noctua coolers were a nice entry into the already crowded CPU cooling market. Their more friendly price and smaller sizes may induce users to pick up one of these outstanding coolers. Backed by the six year Noctua warranty...

Excellent Cooling at Stock and Overclocked Speeds, Extremely Quiet, Excellent Build Quality, Fit and Finish, Six 6mm Copper Heatpipes, Excellent In Case Appearance, Excellent Installation Hardware, Top or Bottom Mounting of Fan For Increased Compatibility
None….excepting the brown, of course…
The transformation of the NH-C14 to the NH-C14S was a very slight one. The tower simply needed to be shifted slight over, and at first glance the differences are nearly imperceptible. Thankfully the performance differences are imperceptible, as well, le...

115mm LowProfile height provides fullsized air cooling for CPU in certain slimmer case designs, Offset fin stack design provides more space between the CPU cooler and the first PCIe slot, More than enough spacing for memory kits with tall heatspreader, Ve

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...
Great cooling performance, High Clearance Mode allows for RAM clearance, Low Profile Mode allows for use in shallow cases, Offset design allows for first PCIe slot clearance, Low noise, SecuFirm2™ mounting system, Vibration dampening, Solid build quality,

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...
