Quality proven by 400 awards. Quiet even under full load. Ease of installation. 6 heat pipes. Automatic regulation of rotation speed.

High performance CPU air cooler with traditional U-shaped design of six copper heat pipes, large aluminium heatsink and Noctua branded fan to provide decent airflow pressure with low noise level. This model can easily dissipate up to 220 watts of heat and can handle an impressive range of Intel Mainstream, Performance and High-End Desktop processors. It is worth paying attention to the fact that Noctua NH-U14S coolers released before 2019 do not come with a mount for the AMD AM4 platform.

However, the manufacturer sends it free of charge if you send him a scan of the receipt or a photo / electronic version of the invoice for the Noctua NH-U14S cooler and AM4 motherboard. The total calculated area of the aluminium radiator is an impressive 8100 cm2. For quiet / silent operation of the cooler, a perfectly balanced 140 mm Noctua NF-A15 PWM fan with an optimized seven-blade impeller is used. Thanks to PWM control, their rotation speed can be varied from 300 to 1500 rpm, and the magnetically stabilized hydrodynamic bearing ensures durability.

Noctua Noctua NH-U14S Ultra-Quiet Slim CPU Cooler with NF-A15 Fan

Award-winning tower series The NH-U12S and U14S are the latest version of Noctua's award-winning NH-U12 coolers. First introduced in 2005, the NH-U series has become a standard choice for premium quality quiet CPU coolers and has won more than 400 awards and recommendations from leading international hardware websites and magazines. 100% RAM compa... moretibility Thanks to its slim design with only 45mm fin depth, the coolers will not overhang the RAM slots even with two fans installed. This gives the user full access to the memory modules on all current CPU sockets and guarantees 100% compatibility with tall heatspreaders or optional memory fans. PLEASE NOTE: Some AMD mainboards violate the 96x114mm keep-out zone specified by AMD, so the NH-U12S can only be used with RAM modules of up to 40mm height on these boards. Please consult the compatibility list for details. Classic 120mm tower size for excellent overall compatibility Standing 158mm tall (U12S) and 165mm tall (U14S) the coolers are short enough to fit most modern mid-end or high-end tower cases. Measuring 125mm wide (including fan and fan clips), the coolers stay clear of the top PCIe slot on standard ATX or Micro-ATX motherboards, ensuring best compatibility with SLI and CrossFire setups. Premium quality fans Recommended by more than 150 hardware publications and thousands of enthusiasts world-wide, the Noctua’s premium quality fans are renowned to combine superb static pressure, excellent heatsink performance and surprising quietness of operation. The NH-U12S is supplied with the NF-F12 Focused Flow fan while the NH-U14S has the NF-A15 fan. PWM support and Low-Noise Adaptor Both fans supplied with the coolers support PWM for convenient automatic speed control through the mainboard. In addition, the maximum fan speed can be reduced using the supplied Low-Noise Adaptor for even quieter operation. Anti-vibration pads and fan-clips for second fan (optional) For users who want to achieve even better performance by adding a second optional NF-F12 and NF-A15, fans are available to create a push/pull setup. The coolers include fan clips and an extra set of custom-designed anti-vibration pads that allow to off-set the rear fan by 5mm to improve acoustics in dual-fan mode. SecuFirm2 mounting system Noctua's SecuFirm2 mounting systems have become synonymous with quality, safety and ease of use. Supporting Intel LGA 1851, LGA 1700, LGAS 1200, LGA115x (LGA1150, LGA1155, LGA1156), LGA2011, LGA2066 and AMD (AM4, AM5, AM3+, AM2+, FM1, FM2), the SecuFirm2 mounting included with the coolers guarantees perfect contact pressure and maximum convenience on all current sockets. Compatibility with past and future sockets Complying with the open SecuFirm standard, the coolers can be made compatible with the older LGA1366 and LGA775 sockets using the optional NM-I3 mounting kit, which is provided by Noctua free of charge. If technically possible, Noctua will also provide upgrade kits for future sockets.

Pros

Cons

Quite worth your money
9 December 2019 
Purchased for Ryzen 3950X. Cools perfectly: under maximum CPU load it doesn't even exceed the 70° threshold (averages 65-67°). Nearly silent when idle. Don't pay attention to AMD recommendations - you don't need liquid cooling. The main thing is to ensure the case is well ventilated. Had no issues with vertical installation. Installed on MSI Prestige X570 Creation. Doesn't obstruct PCI-e or RAM (but with a configuration of 4 modules, the far left slot will be quite tight).
Excellent cooling, quiet, high quality, well equipped

Supercooler with over 400 awards

There is a joke on the stage that only mediocre musicians need new songs, and a couple of hits are enough for geniuses that will feed them until old age. Ask Rick Astley. If we transfer this analogy to the world of computer components, then the Austrians from Noctua fall into the category of geniuses. Their cooling systems are so successful that even many years after the release, they do not fall out of the charts. A great example is the classic NH-U14S tower, which went on the market over 10 years ago, has earned supercooler status and amassed over 400 awards in total.

cool my ardor

Firstly, it is smartly assembled (the quality of the model is backed up by a 6-year warranty) and is equipped with 5 out of 5. Here you have branded thermal paste, additional cables, and adapters with resistors. Secondly, the massive tower design with six heat pipes and a 140mm fan will cool the heat of even the hottest Core i9 or Ryzen 9 level processor. Thirdly, the system supports PWM for automatic speed control, so that it is practically doesn't make noise. And under peak load, the noise level does not exceed 25 dB. That is, in a case with good sound insulation, you will not hear it at all. Fourth, it is easy to install, does not conflict with other components, including RAM modules with high heatsinks.

Doesn't lose relevance

Plus, he is friends with all current processor sockets of Intel and AMD motherboards. In 2019, Noctua updated the NH-U14S with mounts for sockets AM4, LGA 1200, etc. And so that the owners of the old versions would not be left with a nose, Nocutua made a knight's move and released free mounts for new sockets. They can be obtained completely free of charge by sending the Austrians a scan of a receipt or a photo with a barcode on the box. In the cons of the NH-U14S, one can only add a high price (especially against the backdrop of low-cost towers from Deepcool), but this would be blasphemy. Nobody blames Bentleys and Rolls Royces for this, right?
