As you can clearly see from the results of the load tests, the NH-U14S becomes increasingly efficient as greater loads are applied.Turning up the heat a little with the system overclocked to 4.5GHz, the Noctua NH-U14S is really starting to shine beating all the coolers except the Thermalright SB-E Extreme. [...] The results on the preceding pages demonstrate a superior product in the NH-U14S. Throughout all tests our cooler showed its worth by consistently being one of the best air cooler i have tested so far. Build quality and aesthetics are very good which is as to be expected by Noctua. Not only was the performance worth talking about so is the installation. With the cooler coming already with the fan attached and most of the SecuFirm2 equipment contacted all i had to do was apply some thermal compound to the CPU, aligned the contact holes and secure.

"Bottom line you can't really go wrong with the NH-U14S if you want one of (or) the highest performance and quiet CPU Air Cooler." (Ambrosidou Nat, XtremeSystems.org)
