Noctua NH-U14S, Premium CPU Cooler with NF-A15 140mm Fan (Brown)

Product Information

True to this legacy, the NH-U14S DX-4677 heatsink is built to last, and like all Noctua fans, the supplied NF-A15 units feature an MTTF rating of more than 150,000 hours. With CPUs rated at more than 100W of heat output, single graphics boards carrying similar ratings (and people want to run two! Three individually packaged accessory bags are labeled "Intel", "AMD ", and "Accessories", respectively. Based on the proven, 140mm size NH-U14S heatsink and equipped with two of Noctua’s award-winning, PWM controlled NF-A15 140mm fans, it combines maximum performance and superb acoustics. I understand that's not an easy task, but it would be nice to see how much each can dissipate at a given noise level (the only two metrics most people really care about), rather than having both noise and resistance being variables.

The copper base of the NH-U14S has also been nickel plated and is very smooth, yet not machined down to a perfect mirror finish.However, when your computer is idling or under nominal loads -- where it is probably going to spend most of the doing -- the PWM fan slowed down is almost inaudible. Topped off with the trusted, pro-grade SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system, Noctua's proven NT-H1 thermal compound and a six years manufacturer's warranty, these slim tower coolers are a complete premium quality solution that combines outstanding performance, quiet operation and excellent compatibility. It is surely a good sign, because the NH-U14S will be less prone to losing its cooling performance over time, as juxtaposed to a corroded copper surface.

As I kept to myself in the right lane going a little below the speed limit, a silver unmarked Ford Explorer passed me on the left. The S-version's 45mm slim shape guarantees 100% compatibility with tall RAM modules and at the same time, its fine-tuned design and the class-leading fans with PWM support provide fully automatic speed control allowing it to further improve its predecessor's renowned quiet cooling performance.Thanks to their superior acoustic efficiency, they are ideal for workstations and servers that run in noise sensitive environments (e. We're making continuous improvements to the compatibility checker and would love to hear your feedback! Noctua however designed both coolers primarily with one thing in mind and that's zero clearance issues with RAM modules (much like the NiC series by Thermaltake and the Archon series by Thermalright) something with which the award winning and quite massive NH-D14 is not very good at. The NH-U12S supports Intel LGA 115x (LGA1150, LGA1155, LGA1156) LGA2011 and AMD (AM3, AM2 +, FM1, FM2) and offers on all current sockets perfect pressure and maximum ease of installation. True to this legacy, the NH-U14S TR5-SP6 heatsink is built to last, and like all Noctua fans, the supplied NF-A15 units feature an MTTF rating of more than 150,000 hours.

Our CPU compatibility list helps you to choose the cooler model that is best suited for a given CPU and your individual requirements as far as turbo and overclocking headroom are concerned.These enable the rear fan to be offset by 5 mm and thus achieve better acoustics in double fan operation. Unlike many tower heatsinks I have used in the past, the NH-U14S did not interfere with any of my adjacent RAM slots, because it is so thin. While some people may not be big fans -- no pun intended -- of the Noctua color palette, it is hard to argue against its overall clean and distinguished appearance when placed on the shelves at your favorite local retailer. That mission revolves around grouping and standardising key technologies under various banners that are designed to ensure hardware compatibility and consumer ease of use.

For the most part however, it hovers at around 40-50 degrees C in most usage scenarios, and at 28-33 in idle. Its updated layout for a modernized look was first seen in the company's NF-P12 PWM packaging since early 2012.

Also there is no easy to read conclusion to help people in a hurry choose the best cooler for their need, and I have no idea what the thermal resistance values mean. We offer a complete circular IT solution so as well as supplying the latest technology we also recycle unwanted tech, simplifying IT lifecycle management and helping to minimise the impact the technology industry is having on our environment with our fully accredited recycling facility. The NF-A15 140mm fan supplied with the NH-U14S supports PWM for convenient automatic speed control through the mainboard. Noctua's choice of colors might not appeal to all, but the quality of each product has kept PC enthusiasts coming back again and again. Please also note that installing an LGA4677 processor and heatsink requires a plastic CPU carrier frame.
