Class leading performance and efficiency
[] Excellent compatibility with modern motherboards including LGA1156
The Noctua NH-D14 is a grand statement by a company that specializes only in high quality CPU coolers and matching fans. The flagship model impresses in every way: High quality manufacturing, including soldering of fins to heatpipes. Superbly design m...
Excellent performance, Two highperformance fans, Excellent included thermal compound, Supports all modern sockets, Easy installation process, Beautiful
A bit expensive, May be too much heatsink for some, May make memory installation or 4/8pin CPU connector installation difficult (can be avoided)
Although owls do not hibernate during the winter, it’s been a while since a new product came out from those crazy Austrians at Noctua. It was definitely worth the wait, as the Noctua NH-D14 is a winner. It maintains Noctua’s name in the cooling world,...
Complete retail package, Works with both AMD/Intel platforms, Includes thermal paste and noise reduction adapters, Includes 2 fans (120mm & 140mm), Great external design and aesthetics, Top performance under both stock and overclocking tests, Low no...
A faster fans set could boost cooling efficiency even higher, No installation set for adding a third fan
The NH-D14 is the currently best CPU cooler available on the market, but with a price of about 70 Euros it is also quite expensive. Picture gallery (enlarge to view source) --Author: Henner Schröder (Jan 07, 2010) Comment this story! (0 Comment)A...
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...
