The NH-U14S is the series' first 140mm model and uses the new NF-A15 140mm fan. The NH-U14S features a 52mm design (15% larger than the NH-U12S) that is tailor-made for the LGA2011 platform. As a result, it doesn't interfere with the DIMM slots on this platform.
The NH-U14S standing as the best cooler of our shootout, assuming price isn't an issue. It may cost $75, but the NH-U14S is worth every penny if you want the best performance, operating volume and great compatibility. For whatever it's worth, regardless of whether you buy the best or worst aftermarket option...
Noctua's NH-U14S is a larger version of the 120mm counterpart with an extra heatpipe, but still maintains the slim profile to ensure full compatibility for memory kits of any profiles on most of the motherboards. As pointed out in the NH-U12S review,...

So did Noctua accomplish what they were setting out to do with the NH-U14S? I would say so! One problem many people have always had with aftermarket CPU coolers is getting them to fit with memory that has larger heatspreaders. Since most enthusiast...
Noctua CPU Cooler Final Thoughts While I was aware of Noctua's reputation previously, this is the first opportunity that I've personally had to test one of their coolers. It's obvious why they've garnered the reputation that they have as barely any...
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...
A few weeks ago, I was driving home from a friend's house. As I merged into the highway, my radar detector received a strong Ka band signal from behind. My detector does not false; Ka band alerts simply means police. Let me clarify I do not normally...
If you want the best possible cooling solution for your CPU, then you go to a company known for their performance cooling solutions. If you're like me then you like your system to be as quiet as possible but yet remain cool and it's hard to find a nice...
Before we go any further let’s make it clear that the NH-U14S is not another D14, so don't go expecting the same level of cooling that its big brother offers. The U14S does however share the same level of quality and attention to detail in build,...
With the NH-U14S, Noctua updated a cooler which, back in the days simply set a new standard. We're talking about the NH-U12P and three to four years ago this cooler was one of the best, if not to say, the best single tower cooler on the market. Since...

A CPU cooler can be very cheap, very expensive and can even cost you up to 100 euros. For this article we tested 39 current CPU coolers and try to find out which one has the best cooling, is the quietest or ideally which one excels at both. Every...
As I opened the box for the new NH-U14S and NH-U12S CPU coolers from Noctua I got to thinking about the past 6 years since I took a look at the Noctua NH-U12P cooler in April of 2008. I wasn't too sure what to expect from Noctua at that time. I'd heard...
For good or bad Summer is finally here which would explain why all of our 4 test rigs have begun heating up a lot more during these past few days as would the fact that i can't seem to be able to stay in front of our 800W photo bench for more than 20...
about the Noctua NH-U14SStanding in stark contrast to the imposing titan that is the NH-D14, the NH-U14S is a picture of refinement and tempered stature. The nickel finished heatpipe count remains the same but the distribution is concentrated on a...
All said and done the NH-U14S is the most impressive tower cooler we've run through our testing format thus far and manages to have a lower MSRP than some of the other competitors. The easy install is also another feather in its cap. As previously...
