For the NH-C14S you need to understand the purpose, it is silence. Looks aside (and remember you can mount that fan on top as well) it does perform as expected and what you may expect from a proper heatpipe based cooler. The Core i7 4790K we used remains within great temperature levels if long as we do not overclock it. Once overclocked with 1.30 volts we sit at just over 75 Degrees C, which still is comfortable enough for a proper overclock in the 4800 MHz range.

"The NH-C14S is a good performing product in a dense heatpipe cooling market, the cooler becomes truly magical at default processor clock frequencies versus noise levels, I am still a little perplexed by the sheer noise level (the lack of it)." (Hilbert Hagedoorn, Guru3D.com)
