Noctua released a couple of new additions to their NH-U series this year, that included the NH-U12S and NH-U14S. If you haven't had a chance to read our Noctua NH-U12S review then be sure to read that here because it was a really awesome product. Now we have the second new addition in for review, the NH-U14S.
Noctua has recently introduced two new CPU coolers to the market, and I have one of them for review today, the NH-U14S. This cooler is a tower style, and it’s rather large, it can accommodate two of Noctua’s NF-A15 150mm fans but it’s designed so that you can also use larger style performance ram with it and to fit with most every socket configuration out today. The cooler is also designed to work well with SLI or Crossfire setups, it’s made to not get in the way but yet still provide excellent performance. I’ve put the cooler up against several others and as expected from Noctua it performed very well even with an overclocked CPU, but yet remained virtually silent. So read on to learn more about an excellent cooling solution…
When people ask me what is a good air CPU cooler Noctua is always a name that comes to mind. They are known for their great cooling solutions, both big and small. When it comes to air coolers one of the biggest problems is compatibility. Many performance and high-end memory modules are large heatspreaders and they can get in the way. Noctua of course knows this and has made an effort to come out with CPU coolers that will be compatible in all situations. The NH-U14S is one such cooler. It is designed with a 52mm thin heatsink stack that allows for full RAM compatibility on socket 2011 as well as other platforms. Normally we see these massive heatsinks from Noctua so will the NH-U14S still be able to perform up to the standards we know Noctua for? Read on as we find out!
The larger of the two new NH-U series coolers arrives for testing. Let's have a look at the new NH-U14S from Noctua.
Im April 2013 hat der beliebte Kühler und Lüfter Hersteller Noctua seine neueste NH-U Serie vorgestellt. Einen davon haben wir euch schon gezeigt, den NH-U12S. Heute folgt der größere Bruder, der NH-U14S, den wir euch etwas näher zeigen möchten.
Noctua meldet sich mit dem NH-U14S im Markt der High-End-CPU-Kühler zurück - einem Markt, in welchem man Spitzenplätze vor fast vier Jahren besetzte und in dieser Zeit kaum verlassen hat. Frischer und moderner und mit einem weiteren Konzept meldet man sich zurück, denn zu langes Warten in der schnelllebigen Szene kann dazu führen, dass Namen in Vergessenheit geraten. Wir wollen im Test klären, was das neue Schlachtschiff zu bieten hat.
In this review Frostytech will be testing out Noctua's NH-U14S heatsink, a 170mm tall thermal solution built around six 6mm diameter heatpipes and featuring one 140x150mm fan called the NF-A15 PWM. The Noctua-branded NF-A15 fan features all kinds of fancy attributes designed to decrease noise, increase airflow, lengthen bearing life and cancel out errant vibrations. Given the pride Noctua have in their fans, Frostytech will be taking the extra step of testing the NH-U14S heatsink in stock and dual fan configurations, on 85W, 150W and 200W synthetic thermal test platforms.
After reviewed couple of giant CPU coolers (with 120mm fan) from Noctua; NH-U12P & NH-C12P, today we are going to review its smaller brother; NH-U9B. Noctua NH-U9B looks identical with NH-U12P but it only support 92mm fan rather than 120mm fan and Noctua NH-U9B is an ideal cooler for those are having casing space constraint especially HTPC case.
In the thermal solutions market, the name Noctua is a highly respected one that is synonymous with a very high build quality and great performance. Their product base is fairly limited though with a total of three different heatsinks but when you can produce products such as the NH-U12P and NH-C12P, you don’t exactly need a huge selection.
Up on the review block today I’ve got the Noctua NH-U9B SE2 CPU Cooler. The SE2 at the end just means it’s now compatible with new socket styles like the 1156 I’ve got. I’ve installed the NH-U9B on my Corei5 750 and ran some tests, both stock speeds and overclocked speeds, and I’m pleasantly surprised by the results I got. Don’t let the small size of this cooler fool you, it’s big on performance…
