- Model: NH-C14S
NH-C14S
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, Noctua’s proven NT-H1 thermal
compound and full 6 years manufacturer’s warranty, the NH-C14S is a premium
quality top-flow solution for the highest demands.
Based on the award-winning NH-C14
Having received more than 200 awards and recommendations
from leading international hardware websites and magazines, the NH-C14 has
become an established reference for 140mm top-flow coolers. With its deeper fin
stack and more efficient NF-A14 PWM fan, the new S-version provides similar
performance and further improved compatibility.
C-Type top-flow design
The 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.
Low Profile Mode
Run 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 Mode
Run 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 clearance
Compared 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 fan
Featuring 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.
PWM support and Low-Noise Adaptor
The NF-A14 premium fan supplied with the NH-C14S supports
PWM for convenient automatic speed control through the motherboard. In
addition, the maximum fan speed can be reduced from 1500 to 1200rpm using the
supplied Low-Noise Adaptor for even quieter operation.
SecuFirm2™ mounting system
Noctua's SecuFirm2™ mounting systems have become synonymous
with quality, safety and ease of use. Supporting Intel LGA1200,
LGA115x (LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155, LGA1156), LGA2011 (LGA2011-0 &
LGA2011-3), LGA2066 and AMD (AM4 (since
2019), AM3(+), AM2(+), FM1, FM2(+)), the SecuFirm2™ mounting included with
the NH-C14S guarantees perfect contact pressure and maximum convenience on all
current sockets.
Compatibility with past and future sockets
Complying with the open SecuFirm™ standard, the cooler can
be made compatible with the older LGA1366 and LGA775 sockets using the optional
NM-I3 mounting kit, which is provided by Noctua free of charge. If technically
possible, Noctua will also provide upgrade kits for future sockets.
NT-H1 thermal compound
Having received more than 100 awards and recommendations
from hardware journalists around the world, Noctua's NT-H1 is a proven
professional grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance,
excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability.
6-year manufacturer’s warranty
Noctua products are renowned for their impeccable quality
and outstanding longevity. Like all Noctua fans, the supplied NF-A14 features
an MTTF rating of more than 150.000 hours and the entire NH-C14S package comes
with a full 6-year manufacturer’s warranty.
