NZXT HAVIK 140 Cooler Review

Rating: 9.0.

Today we have the chance to put the NZXT HAVIK 140 CPU Cooler through its paces. This is the first retail CPU Cooler that NZXT have released and if size matters, they will have a winner on their hands! The HAVIK 140 uses six, 6mm heatpipes, 46 aluminum fins and dual 140mm fans to dissipate heat.

After an initial visual analysis the HAVIK 140 is a really impressive design. It appears that NZXT have put in the required research and development time on their end; but are they really going to be a serious contender in this extremely competitive CPU cooler market?

Features

  • Six 6 mm heat pipes with standard dual 140mm fans for the most efficient conductivity
  • Unique fan blades provide quiet 25 dBA operation and highly effective airflow of 90.3 CFM
  • Newly patented fins exceptionally slice passing air for increased ventilation and reduced noise
  • 100% soldered copper base and aluminum fins with nickel plating to ensure resilience against deterioration, quality, and long life
  • Includes sturdy Intel/AMD mounting kits to accommodate a variety of motherboards and secure the heatsink during transportation
  • Universally compatible to Intel socket 1366, 1155, 1156, 775 and AMD socket AM3, AM2+, AM2

  1. Impressive indeed. looks huge, but is it as good as D14? probably not.

  2. And what about noisiness?

  3. they are quiet for sure if I remember they are rated at 25dBA

  4. Very good, looks great too. Better deal in US. UK is a rip off lately.

  5. Looks as big as the D14? is it the same size or a bit smaller steve?

  6. Looks like it will block memory slots though which I dont like. good review, thanks.

  7. I don’t have a D14 to compare it to but I would estimate it is just about as large. it will block slots with high profile heatspreaders

  8. The Havik looks good but it depends how it is priced in your country. In my country the Silver Arrow and the D-14 are cheaper. Idk why but that’s how it is.

    Bt, when can we expect a review for Prolimatech Panther?

  9. i like

  10. SteelSeries + FnaticMSI = Worlds Best
