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. |
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. |
NT-H1 thermal compoundNoctua’s much-acclaimed NT-H1 is a pro-grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease of use and outstanding reliability. Chosen again and again by overclockers and enthusiast users worldwide, it has established itself as a benchmark for premium-quality thermal compounds. |
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.

Small caveat: for better results with Ryzen CPU you have to flatten the base of the cooler.
Reviewed in Canada on June 22, 2018
Pour ce qui est des performances, je suis plutôt impressionné. Lorsque le processeur est à 100% de sa charge et même pour des périodes étendues, la température oscille entre 55 et 60 Celsius. Ce sont vraiment d'excellents résultats (et bien meilleure que le refroidisseur d'origine fourni par AMD) ! La température au repos est d'environ 38-42 Celsius ce qui est d'environ 5-10 Celsius de moins que le refroidisseur d'origine, mais le gros point positif est le bruit ou plutôt son absence. J'entends plus mon écran que mon ordinateur.

I had started noticing the fan on the stock cooler, which I had set to run at normal speed per the motherboard (around 2000 rpm). It has that characteristic small fan whine. That was keeping the CPU at around 60c when running intensive games. I tried setting the fan to quiet (1000rpm) which helped, and did notice the CPU temps ramping up into the high 60c range, so I reset the fan back to 2k. So, that started me on the 'maybe I should get a CPU cooler' research wagon. I had been running a Zalman CNPS9900MAX-B on my P67 Sandy Bridge setup, and had good luck with it. The installation was a PITA, but it did the job, and looked really nice.
Anyway, after a few days of researching, I finally landed on this cooler. I wanted to keep the weight down somewhat, which this cooler is a bit heavier than the Zalman, is at least under 1k grams. Also, I liked that it blows air on the motherboard components, ram, etc. Also, since it is somewhat low profile, it doesn't have quite the board bending leverage the vertical coolers have. At least that was my theory.
So, I made the purchase and installed the cooler. Installation was very simple. The hardware fits like a glove on my 1151 motherboard, and is very secure. The 'difficult' part of the installation was lining up the female threaded nuts on the heatsink with the male bolts on the motherboard bracket. It's a little difficult lining things up, since you can't really see what you are doing. But that was it. Everythign else was very straight forward.
I must say, the cooler's performance has been great. I've stress tested it using CPU-Z, and running various games (The Division, Witcher 3, etc), and I haven't seen the CPU temp go above 45c. That is with the fans running at roughly 1000rpm. At that rpm, you really can't hear anything from the CPU fan. So, I've transformed this gaming rig from a somewhat whiny 2000 rpm intel fan with temps in the low 60c's, to a basically silent fan with temps in the low to mid 40c's. This is a low wattage, stock clock CPU, thus the relatively low temps. But its an awesome delta in temperature and noise. I really am very happy. Low temps, quiet fans, and a pleasant installation experience. Plus the cooler really looks AWESOME in my case.

冷却能力を優先してNH-D15で運用していたがゲームを数時間しているとSSDやメモリの温度が50~60℃近くまで上昇してしまい、サーマルスロット等の温度以下ではあるので大丈夫とは分かっていてもやはり不安になってしまったのでトップフロー型のこちらを購入。とはいえNH-D15からだとどうしてもダウングレード感が拭えず例えSSDやメモリの温度を下げられてもCPUを冷やせなければ本末転倒。どうなるかとかなりドキドキだったが付け替えて、ベンチマークやゲームを暫く走らせてみてもCPUの温度はNH-D15の時とあまり変わらず最大65℃前後。しかしメモリやSSDは最大でも40℃~45℃程となかなか嬉しい結果に。そして思いもよらなかったのがGPUの温度も僅かではあるが低下しVRAMが普段90~92℃近くまで上がっていたのが最大86℃まで下がった。環境次第ではあるのだろうがトップフロー型クーラーも意外といけるものだと驚いた。一先ずは安心。
ちなみにデュアルファン運用時などファンを下側に取り付ける場合はメモリとの物理干渉が発生するが手持ちのG.Skill TridentZ RGB(高さ44㎜) はかなりギリギリではあるが干渉せずに取り付けができた。多方面でレビューされているがメモリの高さについてはあまり実測で出ているものがなかったので参考になれば

What's special about this cooler, is that it mounts sideways. This means that most PC cases can fit it. In fact, your graphics card is likely to be higher than the cooler, even in the "fan on top" configuration. Secondly, you have the choice of two configurations with the fan. Fan underneath is applicable for mini/micro ATX builds. Fan on top is suited towards regular PC cases.
The added bonus is that, with the fan on top config, air blows down on your motherboard, keeping other components cooler (in addition to the CPU).
The cooler arrives amazingly well packed. I've never seen cardboard bent is so many original ways, and even chuckled when opening it. It comes with a fan, in ugly, Noctua brown. But most of us have learned to live with that I guess. Comes with thermal paste in a tube. Also has fittings for AM4 sockets (think Ryzen 5).
It's definitely one of the easier to fit coolers, and comes with clear instructions and all the parts you'll need. However, if you're fitting on a board already in a computer case, it will still be slightly tricky to find screw holes and line things up. You do have the option of fitting a second fan (not supplied), but then you'll need low profile memory as well.
In my testing, the fan, even at high speeds, runs pretty quietly. The payoff for having the ugly, Noctua fan is that it's quiet. It's also significantly quieter than the stock cooler my Ryzen 5 came with. The quietness not only comes from the better fan, but from the much more effective cooler tower, which allows the fan to run slower.
The cooler will be ideal for high performance gaming, as well as regular performance where you just want to keep the noise levels down. It comes with a LNA (low noise adapter) cable, should you want to quieten the fan even further.
5 stars. Would buy again.
