Keep in mind that cooler is better and the NH-D14 is definitely cooler. As you can see from the results above the NH-D14 absolutely destroyed my stock Intel heat sink in performance. In every application the NH-D14 was between 10-20 points cooler than my stock Intel cooler. From encoding video to intensive CPU testing programs like Prime95 and of course Intel’s Burn Test. The NH-D14 absolutely dominated.

"Overall the NH-D14 is a cooling power house. There was no doubt in my mind that it would outperform my Intel CPU cooler. There are other CPU coolers available but they just cannot perform on par with the NH-D14. Over a year has passed and the NH-D14 is still being used in a lot of PC gamers PC’s. [...] There are no real negatives with the NH-D14 other than its massive size." (Baron Whitfield, The Game Fanatics)
