Compared with other coolers, the Noctua NH-C14S cannot outperform the larger dual-tower cooler as expected, like the NH-D15S (its review here). However, it is more than capable of keeping a non-overclockable CPU, such as the i5-8400 we used, at a comfortable mid to high-50s degrees. If you have a slightly overclocked CPU, you should be able to maintain the temperature under 70°C with the fan spinning at or near the max speed.

"The Noctua NH-C14S cooler is a great performer with outstanding build quailty and compatibility. The C-Type design reduces the overall height of the cooler, making it to fit in smaller PC cases." (Chan Long Yin, Unboxing Treatment)
