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

Product Information

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. Noctua's SecuFirm2™ mounting systems have become synonymous with quality, safety and easy installation.

Measuring 125mm wide, the coolers stay clear of the top PCIe slot on standard ATX or Micro-ATX motherboards, ensuring best compatibility with SLI and CrossFire setups. Noctua support AMD processors with new coolers such as the NH-U12S and the larger NH-U14S has also received the Threadripper treatment – hinted at by a ‘TR4-SP3' at the end of the name.The reason why nickel has such a property is because of nickel's ductility and toughness all the way up to the melting point of 1455°c, measured at non-standard pressure. Unfortunately, mainboard manufacturers tend to change certain components and heatsinks without pointing it out by using corresponding revision names. The NH-U14S makes use of six thick heatpipes to transfer the heat from the base of the cooler to its fin array. While standard mainstream processors usually have a TDP rating of 65-105W AMD Ryzen Threadripper (and Eypc) models are available with TDP ratings of up to 280W, which provides challenges not only for the CPU cooler as such but also for chassis ventilation. Please also note that installing an LGA4677 processor and heatsink requires a plastic CPU carrier frame.

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. It's been a while since Noctua last released a CPU Air Cooler aimed towards enthusiasts, overclockers and hardcore gamers so you can imagine how surprised we were when they announced not one but two models (which is good since our LGA2011 test bench welcomed both the NH-U12S and the NH-U14S with open arms). Each heatpipe expands to either side of the fin array and the designers had each heatpipe expanding at a different distance from the center of the fin array, resulting to twelve evenly distributed thermal energy transfer lanes from the base of the cooler to fin array. With 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.

Meanwhile, a red Tiburon, unaware of the situation, moved in at obviously extra legal speeds, and began to tailgate the unmarked police car. This TekSpek explains what AMD’s AMD64 CPU instruction set architecture (ISA) is, shows what CPUs implement it from both AMD and Intel, and explains what software is available to run on those 64-bit consumer processors.

Thanks to their superior acoustic efficiency, they are ideal for workstations and servers that run in noise sensitive environments (e. Obviously, if you want the 120mm version, you can go for the NH-U12S, also reviewed by Yours Truly this week. Noctua's fans, while expensive, remain favorites of many enthusiasts for their extremely low noise output.Remove the intake fan to gain access to the spring loaded screw located on the NH-U14S heatsink itself. Not trying to attack what you are saying but I 3rd the idea that normalized testing for performance at a specific sound level would be great. As different CPUs require different carrier frame types (E1A, E1B or E1C), please make sure to purchase the correct carrier frame for tray type CPUs.
