NH-D14
Without the low noise resistors fitted the Noctua provides predictably exceptional performance. The chip never went beyond 69 degrees Celsius, and the noise level, although noticeable, was not aggravating. Much of this is down to the quality bearings of the Noctua fans – although their rotational speed is relatively high, they still sound smoother than, for example, the unit employed on the Zalman CNPS9900 Max. With the low noise resistors fitted the NH-D14 is extremely quiet; right up there with the noise levels of the resistor-equipped Thermolab Trinity. Despite this marked reduction in rotational speed, the bulk of the NH-D14 still grants it formidable performance.
"The NH-D14 provides the best performance we have ever seen from a heat sink" (Ian Jackson, ITShootout.com)
