NH-U14S DX-3647
Noctua broke the mold with their new NH-U14S DX-3647 cooler. It can handle both narrow and square sockets with Noctua’s SecuFirm2 mounting system, and the oversized NF-A15 PWM fan excels at keeping the heatsink cool and makes little noise. If you are building a high-end Intel Xeon Scalable workstation for yourself or for your clients, you should look at these coolers.
Undoubtedly the Noctua NH-U14S DX-3647 heatsink is massive compared to most LGA3647 heatsinks. As a result, it will not fit most standard 4U workstation cases. We could not install the DX-3647 in our testing workstation based on a Supermicro SC747. This is a 4U workstation case as the NH-U14S is too tall. Our main workstation based on a Thermaltake Core X9 which is oversized for most users, it does handle the DX-3647 and has plenty of space left over.
"If you are using an Intel Xeon Scalable workstation and need an efficient cooler, the Noctua NH-U14S DX-3647 will maintain class leading temperatures while minimizing noise." (William Harmon, ServeTheHome.com)
