NH-D14
Armed with six heatpipes, two radiators and two of the best fans available on the market, the Noctua formula works out well. As you'll be able to witness, it is still the best performing cooler that remains at acceptable noise levels as well. [...] It's always great fun to move to a new platform and test coolers. When launched however we could not have seen the heat issues with Ivy Bridge processors coming. Whatever you fire off at it, Ivy Bridge remains hard to cool once overclocked with added voltage. A handful of processors can take 4600 MHz @ 1.2 Volts, but really there is only one in our test that kept the temperature acceptable, and that was the Noctua NH-D14, a cooler design that has proven itself to be leading, many times over the years.
"Released quite a while ago yet still the king of cooling is the Noctua NH-D14. [...] Best in class performance is the Noctua NH D14" (Hilbert Hagedoorn, Guru3D.com)
