Backed by a six year warranty, the NH-C14 is an excellent and well-crafted low profile processor cooler. With manufacturing taking place in Taiwan, expect to never buy a new processor cooler again as when new sockets are released, and if they support the...
Build Quality, Performance, LowProfile, Two 140mm Fans, Low Noise Levels, 6 Years Warranty
Price (For Some), LGA2011 Mounting Kit Not Included
Having already reviewed the NH-C14 well over a year ago i knew exactly how good it would turn out to be but switching to another test rig with a brand new CPU is reason enough to test something again especially if you want to see just how good it is compa...

Superb Performance, Excellent Build Quality, Extremely Quiet Fans, Super Easy installation thanks to the SecuFirm 2, Top-Notch Packaging and Accessories, Six Heatpipe Design, Low-Profile Ready (NH-C14), Provides Additional Cooling Around The CPU Region, 6
Pricey, Color scheme might be a con for some, No Room For Second Fan In Push/Pull Config (NH-C12P SE14), Might Interfere With Tall RAM Modules (NH-C12P SE14), Not PWM Fans
People recognize Noctua products when they see one because of the color scheme that they use on their fans and that's what makes Noctua unique from different manufactures. Noctua has gained a lot of positive recognition in the cooling market because of th...
Abstract: If you recall the original review of the Noctua NH-C14 CPU Cooler, back in June of 2011, all of the testing was carried out on a relatively modest AMD Athlon II X2 250 CPU running at 3.0Ghz. Like most of us, the upgrade bug has bitten me and my main PC...
I can't find a single issue or fault with this cooler, other than the need to purchase a backplate if you have one of a VERY small list of motherboards. To be honest, if you're going to be buying a super-budget board, you aren't likely to be in the mar...
Abstract: Style (look/feel)The NH-C14 looks good, but the tan and brown fans will turn some people off. Especially since one will be directly visible through the side window....
Overall, the Noctua NH-C14 boasted an excellent level performance while being very quiet. It's highly recommended for those interested in putting together a smaller form factor PC or an HTPC, and want cooling performance simply unavailable to smaller towe...
Attractive fit and finish, 2x140mm of the Noctua fan loving, Inline fan resistors should you want quieter performance, Full coverage for modern CPU's, Secondary cooling to the motherboard components, Included high performance TIM.
Size… 1000g can make a motherboard have nightmares, Potential problems with heat exchange efficiency if mounted improperly.
Here's the condensed summary: Cooling performance on this heat sink is tangible and effortless. It will allow you to have a higher overclock, and may likely stabilize a bleeding edge overclock that you currently have if you are using inadequate CPU coolin...
The Intel Core i7-2600K makes a perfect case scenario of a processor that can really benefit from an upgraded cooler. Despite being a more expensive unlocked processor, Intel bundles the Core i7-2600K with the same low profile heatsink that comes with...
