Noctua is an Austrian cooling vendor and we have been reviewing their CPU coolers and cooling fans. Noctua is still not that popular in Asia Pacific but in fact their products have gained very well reputation worldwide and we have been very satisfied with their products too. Today you will be amazed by their latest CPU cooler; NH-D14, a tower CPU cooler that can accommodate up to three 120 or 140mm cooling fans if you wish. Sound interesting? Let's move on.
Today we test the most high-end heatsink from Noctua. It comes with two fans pre-equipped and will fill up all but the largest eATX cases. Dubbed the NH-D14 this beast comes with a 120mm AND 140mm fan which are spec'ed for low noise operation. Can it handle the heat of an overclocked Core i7? Time to find out.
We tested the NH-D14 CPU cooler from Noctua, which has two tower heatsinks, six heatpipes, and has 120 mm and 140 mm fans. Check out this monster!
An amalgamation of both old and new is present in Noctua’s latest offering to the processor cooling sector. Building on previous successes, namely the NH-U12P, the NH-D14 is characterised by two fin stacks and a dual-fan cooling configuration.
The new, seen with the inclusion of the of Noctua's largest fan to date: the 140mm NF-P14 FLX construction slotted between the independent fin stacks is combined with elements from past coolers by the thermal solutions manufacturer. The heatsink bares similarities to the NH-U12P in terms of the fin spacing and heatpipe layout whilst the push-pull fan design can be attributed to the SE1366 version of the same cooler.
It’s clear from the moment you receive the vast box that Noctua means business with its NH-D14 cooler. The heat sink is comfortably the largest we have tested and the cooler comes with two fans as standard. The question is, does it perform as well as it looks?

Noctua ist schon lange bekannt für absolute Silent Produkte und Highend CPU Kühler. Mit dem neu herausgebrachten NH-D14 CPU Kühler gab es hohe Erwartungen. Ob diese erfüllt werden ist in unserem Testbericht nachzulesen.
Mit dem NH-D14 präsentiert Österreichs Edelkühler-Hersteller Noctua sein neues Meisterstück in imposanter Größe. Auf Basis einer Doppeltower-Konstruktion, sechsfacher Heatpipe-Ausstattung und 120-/140-mm-Doppelbelüftung schickt sich der Neuling an, die Messlatte im Luftkühl-Segment nach oben zu legen. ComputerBase testet den Noctua NH-D14 in ausführlicher Art und Weise.
Der NH-D14 ist Noctuas neuster Angriff auf die Spitze und soll Dank Doppel-Lüfter-Konzept und den genannten Vorzügen des Vorgängers die Konkurrenz im Regen stehen lassen. Ob es den Österreichern gelingt, sich die Pole-Position unter den Nagel zu reißen, verrät unser Test.
Die Zeit vor dem Weihnachtsfest war schon immer geprägt von neuen Produkten, die alte Bestenlisten korrigieren möchten, um das Geschäft vor den Feiertagen noch zusätzlich anzukurbeln. Doch hinter wollen und tatsächlich können, steht wie so oft das große Fragezeichen der Realität. So auch im Fall des neuen Noctua NH-D14 CPU Kühlers, der sich anschickt, den Thron des seit nunmehr 2007 herrschenden Thermalright IFX-14 zu erobern.
Cooling a processor can be a real challenge when you are looking for good performance with a minimum of noise. Typically you'll have to sacrifice something along the way. High performance normally means a higher noise threshold, while quiet heatsinks usually don't cool very well.
