Noctua NH-C14S Premium CPU Cooler with NF-A14 PWM 140mm Fan (Brown)
Product Description
Successor to the award-winning NH-C14 the NH-C14S is an elite class top-flow CPU cooler that is extremely efficient highly compatible and remarkably adjustable. Thanks to its deeper fin stack and the renowned NF-A14 PWM fan the single fan NH-C14S provides similar quiet cooling performance to its dual fan predecessor while being even more versatile: With the fan installed on top of the fins the cooler is compatible with RAM modules of up to 70mm height. With the fan installed underneath the fins the total height of the cooler is only 115mm making it suitable for use in many HTPC cases. At the same time the new offset layout allows it to clear the top PCIe slot on most µATX and ATX motherboards. Topped off with the trusted pro-grade SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system and Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound the NH-C14S is a premium quality top-flow solution for the highest demands.
Low Profile ModeRun with the NF-A14 fan installed underneath the fin stack the NH-C14S stands only 115mm tall which is much lower than tower coolers with 140mm or 120mm fans and allows it to fit many desktop style or HTPC cases.
High Clearance ModeRun with the NF-A14 fan installed on top the NH-C14S provides extended clearance underneath the fin stack. This way it is fully compatible with chipset coolers and RAM modules with heat-spreaders of up to 70mm height.
Offset design for PCIe clearanceCompared to the original NH-C14 the layout of the NH-C14S has been offset in two axis. Thanks to this measure the heatsink will clear the top PCIe slot on most µATX and ATX motherboards when the bendings of the heatpipes face the PCIe slots or the I/O panel.
NF-A14 140mm premium fanFeaturing sophisticated aerodynamic optimisations such as Flow Acceleration Channels the NF-A14 is renowned to be among the best quiet 140mm fans on the market. Combined with the deeper fin stack of the NH-C14S it allows the cooler to achieve similar performance levels as its dual fan predecessor despite only using a single NF-A14.
Read more C-Type top-flow designThe c-type top-flow design of the NH-C14S not only allows for superb quiet cooling performance while maintaining a much lower profile than today's 140mm tower-style coolers but also ensures excellent airflow over RAM modules and near-socket motherboard components.
