The thermal performance the C14s has to offer was great for the type of cooler it is. It’s c-shaped design and the single NF-A14 fan really allow for some impressive cooling. Looking back at the OC Load temperature and I was very pleased with the result. Not only would the C14S be amazing in a nice SFF build of sorts, it would also allow you to pretty much get a nice overclock on most CPU’s on the market. What’s even better is that if you want a bit better performance, this bad boy is ready to have a second fan strapped to it, which will likely result in knocking a few more degrees of the overall temperatures seen. The design of the cooler itself is quite nice and its versatility is a truly great feature. As mentioned in the closer look, if you have RAM with a bit taller heatsinks, you put the fan on the top. If you are looking to make use of the 115mm height and want to add it to a SFF build, then go ahead and put the fan on the bottom side of the fin array. Need the best performance the cooler can offer, go ahead and put a second fan on maximum heat dissipation.

"If you are in the market for a new air CPU cooler of any type, the Noctua NH-C14S should definitely be on your list of ones to look into. Not only does it offer great performance and come with an amazing warranty from Noctua, it does so while being aesthetically pleasing!" (Ben Enos, EnosTech.com)
