Noctua NH-C14S and NH-D15S Review
Introduction and Technical Specification
Published: 24th July 2015 | Source: Noctua | Price: £65.75 and £60.19 |
Introduction
It seems air coolers a bit like buses, having only just waved one off, another two hove into view. These two buses come in the shape of the Noctua NH-C14S and NH-D15S. It does of course go without saying that Noctua are well known for their absolutely unchallengeable build quality and performance, even if their aesthetics could do with being brought up to date a little. By the same token, it is however also worth mentioning that this performance and behemoth like construction can sometimes create a few issues with RAM and GPU integration. With this in mind Noctua have put their thinking caps on and come up a few coolers based on previous iterations that hope to negate the encroachment and compatibility issues. As there's quite a lot to get through, we've decided to look at the coolers together, but will of course give our conclusions on each at the end of the review.
