People unaware of Noctua have a glance, they are an Austrian basis company that makes bestquality nearly mute CPU coolers. About the only way to get quieter is to use passive cooling. We got the introduction of Noctua and their then flagship cooler the NH-U12P three years ago. The NH-U12P baffle everything we had then, and for few years later. After we looked at NH-C12P a top-down cooler with a only 120mm fan. Now three years later Noctua has introduced with his latest version, the NH-C14.

With lower fan dismantled for the great clearance mode there is 65mm of clearance to the motherboard. This is nice for those running RAM with tall heatspreaders like Kingston HyperX T1.
