I’ve reviewed many CPU coolers over the years of running this website and have seen the evolution of how they were in the past and how design has gradually changed throughout the years. Heatsinks made from aluminum, copper without heatpipes, then heatsinks with heatpipes were introduced gradual increase in size and stature (tower types). Now Noctua has introduced a very unique heatpipe CPU cooler solution that is capable of top-flow, meaning the fan is blowing directly towards the CPU. Noctua is boasting quiet cooling performance with the NH-C14 and did I mention that it has a beastly presence?

Today I will be reviewing the brand new Noctua NH-C14 ‘C-Type Top-Flow CPU cooler that is capable of being installed on any current AMD and Intel offerings on the market, along with the upcoming LGA 2011 for the Intel Sandy Bridge-E processors (being provided for free with proof of purchase). Without further ado, lets dive right into the review.
