Noctua NH-D14 and C12P-SE14

Conclusion

Once again, Noctua have produced a pair of products that blows away the competition in every respect. The smaller C12P is easily one of the best coolers I’ve ever used, and while being quite expensive its passable. Its bigger brother takes the performance crown from all previously reviewed coolers, but it does come with a whopping price tag.

Still, for their size they’re easy to install, quiet as hell and they look good. There really are no better HSF packages out there.Depending on your price tag, I urge you to go for one or the other as there’s not better choice.
