As aftermarket CPU coolers continue a trend of "bigger is badder", manufacturers must constantly tweak their designs to ensure compatibility across multiple platforms. Perhaps no one knows this better than Austrian company Noctua. Within the last year we've reviewed three coolers from them, the NH-D14, the C12P SE14 and the U9B SE2, and two of those feature their signature NF-P14 140mm fan. If you thought finding room to put one 140mm fan on a CPU cooler wasn't challenging enough, today we take a look at Noctua's latest creation, the NH-C14, and see how they manage to squeeze two of them on there.
We tested the Noctua NH-C14, a huge CPU cooler with a horizontal heatsink, two 140-mm fans and six heatpipes. Check it out!
So let's go back to basics and start from the beginning. A computer system is nothing without sufficient cooling much like a car performs better when at an optimum temperature, whereas some develop faults with cold starts. Think of computers as the other way round, as hot temperatures can lead to catastrophic failure and a nice cool, chilled system will run flawlessly 99.99999% of the time.
Noctua is a company known for making quality and well performing CPU Coolers, some of the best on the market today surely. They’ve recently introduced a new cooler called the NH-C14 which gets its name from the ‘C’ shape that the cooler is. The NH-C14 comes equipped with two Noctua NF-P14 140mm fans for excellent cooling performance. The two fans are mounted, one on top and one on the bottom, and you can configure it however you like; If you need more room beneath the cooler then just use the top fan. The NH-C14 is made to be versatile and have good performance at the same time.
Noctua has developed a reputation for high quality components, backed up by countless awards from reviews published around the world. Downdraft coolers have been manufactured in the past, however few have been able to stand up to the larger tower coolers. The NH-C14 shows that Noctua knows what they are doing in this field.
Today we take a look at one of Noctua's most recent coolers, the NH-C14, pairing it with Intel's high end i7-990X CPU to find out how high we can take the CPU on air cooling.
Noctua strikes again and delivers the newest concept in their cooling line-up. With all the CPU coolers I have received over the years I gained a lot of respect for the Noctua name and simply, I love the "professional" or "heavy-duty" feel of the Noctua coolers. Even the smaller 90mm fan driven coolers have the feel of a superior cooler before you even strap it on to see (and not hear) the results they produce.
Noctua is known for their near silent fans, and the high build quality. The new NH-C14 we are looking at today is a top down cooler with twin 140mm NF-P14 fans and supports all of todays popular CPU sockets. Join us as we put the new NH-C14 on our Intel Core i7-930 processor test system at both stock and overclocked speeds!
Today we'll focus on a top-end cooler from Noctua — NH-C14. It boasts of impressive design, bundle and build quality. Of course, a combination like this doesn't come cheap, and NH-C14 is quite expensive. But it offers you performance for every cent you spend.
Noctua is not a volume-based CPU cooler vendor but all of their CPU coolers are well designed and have a strong solid purpose of existence; not duplicating or competing with each others and they are continuing improving their products. Today we will have a look on Noctua latest CPU cooler; NH-C14 which is a similar version of NH-D14 but it is in C-type top-flow mode instead of vertical/tower mode.
