Now since this is a new test platform based on Socket LGA 1156 we have very few results available from other coolers, but you can see the big picture real fast -- the NH-D14 cooler hauls ass as it immediately takes first place with a massive margin. [...] At this stage we where wondering if we'd be successful in overclocking the processor above 4 GHz, and so we did. We took it successfully and stable towards 4.3 GHz with 1.5 Volts pumped into the processor. The end result, with the processor cores stressed out 100%, is still stunning .. a temperature that is still hovering at acceptable levels at 70 Degrees C at 68 C / 154F.

"Much like any other Noctua review, we can can do nothing else than to acknowledge the fact that this is once again is a superb product. The cooling performance is massive, the noise levels very acceptable. By releasing the NH-D14, Noctua places a very high end cooling product onto the market that will lure in aficionado's that refuse to go for liquid cooling." (Hilbert Hagedoorn, Guru3D.com)
