The NH C14 arrives in instantly recognisable packaging, similar to all other Noctua products. Very attractively designed, yet subtle.
Inside are two boxes. The bigger box contains the cooler itself, with the other housing all the mounting hardware and extras.
Noctua always supply an exquisite bundle, with all the tools you need for fitting to both AMD and Intel platforms. Each clear plastic container is marked with ‘Intel' and ‘AMD' and a third contains shared components, used for mounting on both platforms.
Noctua also supply various cables for reducing noise levels and a very useful tube of their high quality thermal paste (NT H1).
Stunning is right, their engineering standards are unmatched. I got the D14 in november, and it really is a beautiful piece of work. my temps dropped 10c too which is a bonus 🙂
Great. This is going to suit a lot more people than the D14, and the cooling isn’t that far behind either.
Love their products, but they are very expensive for those who dont really need the ultimate performance levels.
I saw another site reviewed this, and it outperformed the D14 in one system build? surely not?
Impressive cooler however, if expensive. fans are worth it though. so many cooler companies bundle shit coolers.
I bought this and its excellent. its not quite as good as the D14 going on my testing. as I have both, but its great for smaller spaces.
Is this the first time a company has used a support beam for strength? thats quite ingenious.
I still think the frio is the best value cooler on the market for high end, its under £40 now.
Very nice cooler indeed…
I’m curious if it fits on a mini-ITX bords? This could be “the cooler” for a powerful SFF build
