NH-U12S,NH-U14S
Noctua’s heatsink performance overshot expectations by quite a margin: the heat was dissipated so efficiently under maximum loads on this particular test, the NH-U14S could do even better under much more strenuous situations — a real bonus to those who are looking for a serious overclocked air-cooled solution. If you want the best cutting edge tech with the best performance, par for the course, it’s going to cost a bit more: dual fan push/pull configurations are going to be approximately $85 for the NH-U12S (that is total including heatsink and additional fan) and $100 for the NH-U14S. The advantage of such an investment is that Noctua is future-proofing future socket configurations (where technically possible) with appropriate socket back-plates. Noctua also gets top scores for not only the ease of use for installation, but including accessories for all possible scenarios. The attention to engineering and design infused into the core characteristics of these tech masterpieces highlights unparalleled innovation.
"The Noctua NH-U12S and NH-U14S prove not only to be more than effective as overclocked air cooled solutions, but also provide excellent noise control emissions. They earn the Bjorn3D Golden Bear Award." (Joe Gulczinski, Bjorn3D.com)
