I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect the NH-U14S to perform the way it did. Whatever techniques Noctua have utilized to get this kind of performance out of this single tower cooler were totally worth it, and that is not even considering the extremely high qu...
The Noctua NH-U14S is an excellent performer overall but when you also take into account its size, it's fairly impressive. That such a thin, single fan, single tower heatsink can rub shoulders with bigger, heavier, premium coolers is delightfully surp...
Abstract: Noctua keeps rolling along with their high end coolers designed to tame the heat of today's modern processors. In this review we will be taking a look at two of their new heatpipe tower coolers, the NH-U12S and the NH-U14S. As you might be able to figure out these coolers feature a 12cm and 14cm fan, respectively, and are the latest in their award winning U-series of coolers. The coolers themselves implement U-shaped heatpipes within a compact array of fins intended to provide broad compatibility with a variety of systems, especially when it comes to avoiding interference with system memory...
Noctua has a good heatsink on their hands with the NH-U14S. As far as looks are concerned, most people are either going to love it or hate it due to the beige and reddish-brown color scheme of Noctua's fans. Regardless of what you think of the color sch...

Abstract: Noctua NH-U12S Unpacking We start off with the little sibbling of the new S aka Slim series. The NH-U12S is based on a classic single U shaped tower design. Being only 45mm in depth it maximizes compatibility even when filling up all the DIMM slots wit...

Abstract: So, I never shot my eye out with the Ka-Bala game, and the feeling isn't necessarily about Christmas, per se. It is really about the anticipation. Everyone has their own “Christmas” for that. Gamers get that feeling while waiting for the download of “Call...
Very well made, Includes all tools for installation, Simple and quick install, Excellent performance, Very quiet even with two fans and under load, 6 year warranty
Must buy second fan separately, Can block top most mini PCIE slot possibly
The Noctua NH-U14S is just an excellent cooler overall, and that's to be expected from a company has dedicated all of its resources to designing and improving cooling for your CPU and system.The cooler is designed with maximum compatibility in mind and...
Before we go any further let's make it clear that the NH-U14S is not another D14, so don't go expecting the same level of cooling that its big brother offers. The U14S does however share the same level of quality and attention to detail in build, accesso...
