NH-C14
It almost feels repetitive when we go to talk about the performance of Noctua heatsinks. They always fall near the top in cooling power and noise output is top notch. The NH-C14 is no exception, although its performance is a little less than its BIG brother the NH-D14. Whats more impressive than anything is the NH-C14 actually out performed most of the top heatsinks on the market, not bad for something other than a tower design. The push pull layout helped considerably with these numbers I’m sure. Beyond the numbers, where Noctua always impresses us is with their noise output. By using high quality fans and implementing small touches like the rubber in between the fans and the heatsink they keep noise close to in audible.
"Noctua always manages to amaze me. Every single one of their products performs on par with the best on the market while still being one of the quietest on the market. The level of detail they go into on every aspect of the design is obvious and the end result is a quality product that anyone can recognize as a 'Noctua', something that most heatsink manufactures don’t come close to doing. The NH-C14 has been on our LGA 1155 test bench for the better part of a year and we don’t have any intention of removing it." (Wes Compton, LanOC.org)
