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.

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?
