Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler
Cons:Should include a clip for install a third fan
Pros:It's a Noctua Comment:
This is my third Noctua cooler, like the other the quality of build is impressive, What I like most, is the fact that you have only 2 screws to remove to gain access to the CPU |

Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler
Cons:- Size
Pros:- Very Silent (under 20dBA)- Strong Performer (Arguably the best at time of writing)- Comes with Two High End Noctua Fans and a full Syringe of Noctua Thermal Compound (which bests Arctic Silver 5) Comment:
I have it cooler a rig that does nothing more than fold EL Wu's for FoldinglHome. The rig is powered by an Intel Core i7 920 running at 4.2GHz. The Ambient Temp, in the room, is around 21C. Idle temps are 31C and Full load is 61C.Amazing cooler. The Intel stock cooler (with the Core i7 l 3.2GHz) could only muster load temps of 91C doing the same task and operating within the same environment.Very Strong Performer. |

Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler
Cons:Very big
Pros:Very good air coolinggood price Comment:
Seated it one time, didnt bother trying to reseat it yet. Idling i5 at 18-19C. Stressed Test prime95 for 1 hour max 48C, stock no OC yet, so there still a room for OCing and probably reseating it after. |

Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler
Cons:Big...
Pros:Amazing cooling capabilityVery quietFantastic constructionQuality parts Comment:
I'm simply amazed with this cooler.I went from a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus with two Noctua NF-P14 140mm fans in push/pull orientation on my Phenom 720 (quad core unlocked, OC'd to 3.4ghz with 1.45 vcore) getting up to 62 degrees at full load, to this Noctua cooler on the same processor at 3.6ghz with a 1.5 vcore running 50 degrees on full load.Now the 212 plus is no slouch of a cooler, especially with those two Noctua 140mm fans on it, but that's what amazed me even more was the fact that I could drop 12 degrees even with the increased vcore.The build quality of this cooler is simply amazing. It comes with everything needed to install, the instructions are top notch, and it's damn near silent.If anyone is looking for a top of the line cooler, this is the one for you, I can't say enough about how happy I am with this new heatsink! |
I have dropped my idle temp from 38 to 32 and load doesn't go above 47. Huge difference from my Zalman 9700, which should go without saying. Load temp for this was anywhere from 59 to 78 depending on the speed of the fan.Due to the great air flow of my case, the board temp is not an issue with the fan blowing in as Corsair has recommended in there instruction.
