Overall

Noctua always manages to amaze me. Every single one of their products performs on par with the best on the market while still being one of the quietest on the market. The level of detail they go into on every aspect of the design is obvious and the end result is a quality product that anyone can recognize as a “Noctua”, something that most heatsink manufactures don’t come close to doing. The NH-C14 has been on our LGA 1155 test bench for the better part of a year and we don’t have any intention of removing it. Now we just need to get one for our LGA 2011 test bench and we will be set, and the office will be reasonably quiet.
