Earlier, I took a look at the Noctua NH-U12S and that cooler met my high expectations. Noctua was kind enough to send us the NH-U14S as well for the testing. Today, I am taking a look at the Noctua NH-U14S. This is their premium 140mm, U-Type Single Tower heatsink design. The Series has the highest compatibility and the clearance from RAM thanks to the slimmer depth of the heatsink. The NH-U14S has the depth of 52mm. It is bundled with the NF-A15 PWM fan to provide the utmost cooling performance at silent levels. Quiet operation and excellent thermal performance is what I am expecting from this cooler with bit better thermals than its sibling the NH-U12S.
