So, we said at the beginning that we were going to choose a winner, and indeed we are. In our last CPU cooler roundup, we named the 120mm-based Noctua NH-U12S a top contender due to its quality and performance. This time it wasn't even a close call. For t...

Great performance with pushpull setup, Excellent Built Quality, Fan clips allow installation of 120mm fan and 140mm fan with 120mm mount, Included accessories and mounting kits, 6years warranty period
Few 140mm fans with 120mm fan mounts available in the market.
Noctua NH-U14S benefits a bit from push-pull configuration in comparison with NH-U12S with push-pull with overclocked setup. If you need a solid built CPU cooler with good mounting kits and add-ons, this is good. Noctua NH-U12S does have a bit of an ad...

excellent performance, silent, excellent value
Noctua NH-U14S is a mono-tower cooler with an ergonomic design. The aluminum heatsink supports 2 fans, but only one is bundled by default. The cooler is not interfering with RAM and PCIE slots, so there is no problem in using tall memory modules or graphi...
Abstract: For good or bad Summer is finally here which would explain why all of our 4 test rigs have begun heating up a lot more during these past few days as would the fact that i can't seem to be able to stay in front of our 800W photo bench for more than 20 minu...
about the Noctua NH-U14SStanding in stark contrast to the imposing titan that is the NH-D14, the NH-U14S is a picture of refinement and tempered stature. The nickel finished heatpipe count remains the same but the distribution is concentrated on a smalle...
All said and done the NH-U14S is the most impressive tower cooler we've run through our testing format thus far and manages to have a lower MSRP than some of the other competitors. The easy install is also another feather in its cap. As previously mentio...

Before continuing with our parting sentiments on the NH-U14S cooler, we would like to take this opportunity to give our friends at Noctua a hearty "Thank You" for giving us the opportunity to review another one of their well-designed CPU air coolers. Afte...
Abstract: Keeping your processor cool is essential when it comes to keeping your system running smoothly, after all everyone knows what happens when your system overheats: it shuts down or it fries the CPU. Coolers come in many different shapes, sizes, colors and t...
Amazing performance, Easy installation, NT-H1 thermal compound included, Quiet operation, Can add a second fan if you want
None that I found
So did Noctua accomplish what they were setting out to do with the NH-U14S? I would say so! One problem many people have always had with aftermarket CPU coolers is getting them to fit with memory that has larger heatspreaders. Since most enthusiast memor...
Noctua, Highlevel engineering, Noise/Performance ratio beats anything out there, Premium technologies incrementally add up to great performance
Other manufacturers have developed better fan mounting systems, Cannot change orientation on AMD sockets (typical of most coolers for AMD), …I just can't get over the color scheme…
Noctua CPU Cooler Final Thoughts While I was aware of Noctua's reputation previously, this is the first opportunity that I've personally had to test one of their coolers. It's obvious why they've garnered the reputation that they have as barely any surfa...
