Noctua NH-U14S Review

 

 

Introduction

It’s fair to say that Noctua have established themselves something of a reputation in the air cooler market.  This is in no small part due to the excellent performance of the class leading NH-D14.  However, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to note that that although the D14 is a true performer it is a little on the large size and as such it’s possible that it may cause you some compatibility issues, especially if you’re toting tall RAM.  Enter then the NH-U14S, a slim line single tower at only 78mm deep with the supplied NF-15 PWM fan Noctua boast a high degree of motherboard compatibility.  Although we’re not expecting the NF- U14S to match or even get close to the D14 it still has a lot to live up to if it’s going to wear the Noctua badge so lets have a look at the full technical Specification to see if the right ingredients are there.
