Reasonable size for better overall compatibilityStanding 165mm tall, the NH-U14S is short enough to fit most modern high-end cases. Measuring 150mm wide (including fan and fan clips), the NH-U14S provides better compatibility with multi-GPU setups as compared to tower coolers that are wider than 150mm or use fans wider than 150mm. |
Full RAM compatibility on AM5 & AM4With its 52mm slim design, the NH-U14S will not overhang the RAM slots on AMD AM5 and AM4 motherboards, thus guaranteeing full compatibility with tall memory modules. On Intel (LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA115x) motherboards, the front fan will often overhang the first RAM slot, so please verify RAM and case compatibility in the Noctua Compatibility Centre (ncc.noctua.at). |
NF-A15 140mm PWM FanThe NF-A15 is a premium quality quiet 140mm fan with a round frame that complies with Noctua's AAO standard. Featuring sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A15 further improves the renowned quiet cooling performance of the award-winning NF-P14. |
NT-H1 thermal compoundNoctua's much-acclaimed NT-H1 is a well proven pro-grade TIM solution that provides minimum thermal resistance, excellent ease-of-use and outstanding reliability, which makes it suitable for use in professional server and workstation environments. |

I will be putting another 140mm fan on but it is not because the CPU is reaching extremely high temperatures even at 100% load when I was testing it using various stress/blend testing software. It reached a high of 65C @ stock 3.5Ghz and 78C +/- 2C when overclocked to a stable 4.4Ghz with a +0.001V offset. My ambient room temperature is around 21C or 70F just to use as a control.
Basically, this CPU Cooler is worth every penny and rivals it's twice the size big brother NH-D14 and even liquid cooling to a point. I have never liked liquid cooling because even if it is securely hooked up, one mess up and everything is ruined. I looked at the Hyper EVO 212 and am glad I did not purchase it. It simply can not keep up this with cooler at all. Once I put another fan on there (I may go with the redux version from Noctua) I will not be expecting a dramatic decrease in temperature but enough to warrant the purchase and the redux versions have an even higher performance rate.
I would definitely suggest this CPU Cooler to ANYONE who wants to go with air cooling instead of liquid. Even with liquid, don't expect more than 3C - 5C difference... just not worth the money nor risk to me, sorry. I must also say that the thermal paste which comes with it, the NH-T1 rivals Arctic Silver and IC Diamond. It has zero curing time and very little goes a long way. I used it on my old box and was astonished at a 14C decrease in temperature. However, that was applied to a stock cooler so it was expected to improve but I didn't realize it would do so by that much.
A couple of things to keep in mind if you do purchase this CPU Cooler... you will probably lose your first PCI slot on your motherboard and it's height can cause issues with a lot of cases. I have a Fractal R4 so it is a large mid-sized ATX case and I have plenty of room to spare so make sure you have a wide case, take measurements!!. It cleared ALL RAM slots however only by enough to stick a piece of paper between them so even though I don't use high-profile RAM, you could probably get by with Corsair vengeance RAM but the heat shrouds will stick up far enough to block about an inch of the fan so I would definitely research everything before making a final decision.
Anyway, I took a gamble on a very nice CPU Cooler that has nothing but great reviews and was not disappointed at all. The benchmark temperatures were dead on accurate but it also helps that I have a large case and all my case fans are 140mm Fractal silent series fans.. it is absolutely silent. I hear the GPU fans over anything else and because my case is has silent proofing foam and even with a window, you simply can't hear it unless you are sitting in dead silence. The CPU fan produces the least noise of all however. Simply put... the Noctua NH-U14S is an awesome cooler and handles my i7-4770K like a champ at stock and overclocked although I do not run it at 4.4Ghz except for certain times.
Watch Dogs was the first game I tested the CPU with and it didn't get over 47C (I believe that number is correct.) What is correct is that for $60, I would use this cooler on any build as long as the case dimensions allow for it!
I didn't want spend a small fortune on another liquid cooling solution now knowing that a water pump can fail and you won't know it until it's too late. There's no easy way of diagnosing a failed water pump; at least with an air-cooling-only solution, the only moving part is the fan and it's easy to see if it's still spinning or not. So I grabbed the first air-cooler I could get next-day that looked reliable after a few minutes of research and this is what I bought.
It arrived the next afternoon as promised and I was immediately impressed with the packaging, build, included brackets for socket compatibility, and that a tube of thermal grease was included (vs re-applied, lower-quality paste). I don't build PCs regularly, but one or two a year - enough to see the progression of CPU sockets over the years and was glad this didn't require a backing plate. Though that seems to be a feature of LGA 2011 moreso than the cooler, but still nice to know for builders that you don't have the potential struggles with gaining access to both sides of the mobo. Anyway, the instructions were well-written and clear and I was able to get the new cooler installed in a few minutes.
Most impressively, the results were clear. Now, take this with a grain of salt because dust hasn't settled in yet and the CPU hasn't been pushed yet, but at idle, it is running at 20C/70F with this cooler and I can't hear the fan - at least not over the case fans. If I hadn't watched the temps creep up over boiling the previous day, I would have doubted these numbers. I honestly didn't expect ambient-air temps were possible on a CPU on an air cooling solution. I am looking at a Ryzen 7 5800X to upgrade my gaming rig and now I'm seriously considering this as the cooler for that too.
The only downside is that because of the size, the air-duct that came with my PC's case - mounted to the side fan - had to come off, so this CPU cooler probably won't fit in smaller (thinner) PC cases.
Easy to mount, very quiet even on big loads and cools down mi CPU (Ryzen 7 3700X) as good as my old AIO CoolerMaster Lite 120 (the main reason of change, after 5 years of use it started to make a lot of noise).

Resumen (para los que tengáis prisa):
-Es grande, comprobad que os entra en la caja y que la RAM no esté demasiado cerca, porque a la mínima que sea un pelín mas alta de lo normal va a chocar. aunque siempre podéis poner el ventilador en la parte de atrás en pull (cambiadlo de orientación).
-Si os cabe en la caja, no hay problema con las RAM y es compatible con vuestro socket, compradlo. No os vais a arrepentir.
Ahora el tocho:
-El empaquetado está genial, se nota que le han puesto mucho empeño y todo viene perfectamente empaquetado.
-Trae manual de instrucciones para varios sockets, a color e impreso en papel plastificado. Viene todo explicado a la perfección paso a paso. Incluso explica como aplicar pasta térmica a los distintos tipos de CPUs. ¡Alucino! (Cada CPU tiene los núcleos en distintos sitios, de ahí a que la forma de aplicar la pasta para obtener mejores resultados sea distinta).
-Las piezas traen moldeados (no una pegatina) varios distintivos como su identificador para que puedas saber en todo momento qué pieza es cuando o en qué ajugero colocar X pieza. !No hace falta que compares con los dibujos del manual para saber qué pieza es!
-Trae una jeringuilla de pasta térmica NT-H1 (si mal no recuerdo) de las de 10g o así. (En mi caso usé una Artic-mx4 que tenía por ahí. En teoría la Artic es un poquito mejor.
-Trae un destornillador en forma de L para que puedas montar el disipador sin tener herramientas. Al ser largo es muy fácil atornillar aunque andes escaso de espacio. Vale perfectamente para todos los tornillos que trae.
-Trae también cuatro juntas de goma extra y dos clips de metal por si quieres añadir un ventilador adicional. Las juntas no son las típicas pegatinas cutres, son piezas de buena calidad que puedes poner y quitar. El ventilador que trae ya las tiene montadas.
Socket 1700:
-En teoría en abril este disipador se empezará a vender con un kit para poder instalarlo en este socket. Lo compré a finales de marzo y en mi caso ya lo traía.
-En caso de que no lo traiga con una factura de compra del disipador y de una placa base con socket LGA1700 solo hay que rellenar un formulario en la web de Noctua y te lo envían gratis.
-Cabe destacar que en vez de tirar el kit en la caja y ponerle una pegatina para indicar que lo tiene, Noctua ha rediseñado la caja para indicar que soporta el socket y ha incluido las instrucciones correspondientes (si, también indicando cómo poner la pasta térmica) dentro del manual.
El montaje:
-Muy sencillo, solo hay que leer las instrucciones con calma e ir poco a poco.
-He montado muchos PCs y muchos disipadores y debo decir que no hay holguras, encaja todo a la perfección y solo hay que aplicar fuerza, y no mucha, a la hora de enganchar el ventilador con los clips.
-El ventilador queda perfectamente encajado contra el radiador y, sinceramente, estas juntas de goma funcionan genial. Es como si el ventilador estuviese pegado al radiador, no vibra nada.
-Se puede montar mirando hace delante/atrás o abajo/arriba (al menos en los sockets intel, los otros no los he mirado).
-El ventilador no tiene posición fija. Este sistema de grapas te permite engancharlo a cualquiera de las rejillas del radiador, así que lo pones a la altura que te apetezca.
Respecto al disipador en si:
-Enfría bien y mucho. Un i5 12600k actualizando windows e instalando todos los programas de Asus a la vez no llegó ni a los 35ºC. Eso sí, las RPM del ventilador debían estar en torno a las 400. Pero en idle la CPU no suele pasar los 25ºC, e insisto, a muy bajas RPM.
-Ruido: Probé a revolucionarlo a tope, con la placa fuera de la caja (así se oye más). Sonar suena (no mucho, pero sí se escucha), pero curiosamente no suena como un ventilador, con sus vibraciones y traqueteo. Suena como un coche eléctrico, sin vibraciones. No molesta nada y dentro de la torre se nota menos incluso.
-A persar de el ruido, que ya os digo, no es alto pero si perceptible, esto es con el ventilador a tope, cosa que sucederá poco, porque esta bestia enfría muchísimo. Así que no os preocupéis, es díficil que esto sea un problema.
-Se nota que los materiales son muy buenos. De lo mejor que he visto.
-Puede apagarse el ventilador (configurable desde BIOS).
Consideraciones:
-El disipador es grande, así que ojo. En mi caso la RAM está muy próxima y tienen RGB, por lo que son un pelín más altas. El ventilador tocaba un poco, por lo que lo enganché un poco más arriba, pero pegaba con el lateral de la caja al cerrarla. Probé a ponerlo el disipador mirando para abajo, pero los heatpipes sobresalen por los laterales y también tocaban la RAM. Al final lo puse en la parte de atrás en configuración pull. (Es así como obtuve las temperaturas que os cuento). Así que ojo con el espacio de la torre y de las RAMs, que hay placas que las traen muy cerquita del procesador.
Por cierto, apliqué la pasta térmica exactamente como indicaban las instrucciones y se esparció a la perfección.
Sabía que Noctua era una buena marca, pero no esperaba esto. Desde el momento en el que abrí la caja ya me di cuenta del esmero que habían puesto en el producto y de como se han esforzado para contentar al cliente, guiándole paso a paso para instalar el disipador. Incluso te avisan de que lo desmontes si vas a transportar el equipo porque puede causar daños por el peso.
Pocas compañias hacen estas cosas. Ahora tengo claro por qué Noctua está en el Top. Y habiendo probado el producto, ya no me parece nada caro. Es un buen precio por una calidad y una atención al cliente estupenda, directamente desde que abres la caja. Se nota que les gusta su trabajo y que buscan la satisfacción del cliente.
Un 10 para Noctua, sin duda compraré y recomendaré esta marca para cualquier equipo minimamente decente.
Saludos.
Il cooler è gigantesco, la ventola da 140mm anche, l’installazione in un case bequiet silent base 600, con altezza utile 167mm (scusate la polvere, ho pulito il case solo dopo) è a pelo.
Considerati i finti tdp reali comunicati dai produttori di cpu da un certo anno in poi (diciamo dalla serie 8 di Intel in poi come esempio) ho deciso di prendere questo cooler sovradimensionato, non sbagliando. Noterete dalle foto che rispetto ai 65w dichiarati, il consumo reale dell’i9-11900f è di ben 130w.
Questo cooler tiene la cpu a circa 30 gradi scarica e non va oltre i 57-58 gradi sotto prime95, temperatura stanza 24gradi, in tutta silenziosità. Anche con cpu sotto stress, la ventola del cooler girava a meno di 800 giri su 1500 disponibili. Davvero un gran bel prodotto, che vale quanto costa (tanto) e non vi farà pentire di aver sostituito qualsiasi cooler ad aria avete con questo. Sebbene io l’abbia fatto per una questione di silenziosità , da quanto credo sia emerso si comporterebbe un gran bene anche con una cpu a moltiplicatore sbloccato.
Assolutamente consigliato.

EDIT: Fan is quiet, keeps the cpu cool. I didn't think I'd like how it looked as much, but it works great with my Corsair 750D build. If I'd change anything about this, it would be a faster fan that looks the same as the original. Keeps my CPU around 29-34 Degrees Celsius on idle, and goes up to 58 during game play. Glad I went with this over any other cooler. I feel like the NH-D15 would be a bit too much for a regular case.
EDIT 2: Still a great cooler, but fan started failing on me. Purchased on June 16, 2019, and started making weird noises yesterday (August 5, 2019). Today, I looked over and noticed the fan completely stopped... Started up a few seconds later and turned on and off... Return period ended and now have to wait for RMA. Great cooler, 5/5 still, but not happy with the fan failing.
