Noctua NH-D14, Extreme Cooler for Overclocker

Noctua is a trademark of cooling products from a company in Austria, which in fact has long been in the computer world, especially to produce accessories for overclocking. This time Noctua try to offer a processor cooling device that is quite interesting, in terms of performance can be quite pretty extreme compared with the product – other similar products. Noctua NH-D14, probably from the product naming is a bit difficult to remember because it does not use other names that are easier to remember as an example: SpinQ Thermaltake, Xigmatek Apache, Thermalright Baram, and so forth.

Noctua NH-D14 is a processor that uses air cooling (fan rotation) on the heatsinks are mounted on a processor. Since only use the system cooling fan rotation less risky than using a processor cooling water or dry ice. Product design Noctua NH-D14 is a bit like 2 pieces towers separated by a fan (fan) of the middle-middle and a fan (fan) again on the front. Basic materials and heatpipe heatsink maker of this product is aluminum and copper. Two tower heatsink Noctua NH-D14 are connected by 12 heatpipe with a total 6 heatpipes on one side and 6 heatpipe on the other side. The size of the processor cooling could be quite large, perhaps this is one reason that makes the performance of the Noctua NH-D14 is very effective. Two fans (fan) on Noctua NH-D14 product has different sizes, the series has sizes NF-P12 120mm fan while the other one is a series of NF-Q14 with size 140mm. Although it is large enough, 2 pieces of fan (fan) only requires less power and generate a highly effective spinning fan cools the heatsink on 2 pieces of tower (lattice technology (blade) has 9 specially designed fruit). Input power needed to rotate the fan (fan) is only about 1 watt, while the round fan (fan) produced only about 1200 rpm to 1300 rpm, so that from the noise can be said to be very quiet.

When you buy a product Noctua NH-D14, will include several mounting brackets for various socket processors, including Intel’s socket LGA 775, LGA 1156, LGA 1366, and AMD Socket AM2, AM2 + and AM3 with special backplate. A quite unique from the design of Noctua NH-D14 is one of them is Asymmetrical design, or design a form that is not symmetrical. The function of the form that is not symmetrical this is for the higher level of compatibility when installed in various computer systems which sometimes has the shape and size are not the same. Form that is not symmetrical, it is also quite relieved that provide space on a memory slot placement, and it also provides air flow (water flow) is very good in parts – components that are installed on the mainboard.
