Its 140mm fan (Actually, the NF-A15 is a 150mm unit) can extend partially into this extra cooling fins. These allow the rear fan to 5mm discontinued and thus achieve better acoustics in double fan operation.

The question is whether or not the Noctua NH-U14S a proper response to the market, or will it find bad surprises along the way.

H. with the Taiwanese cooling specialist Kolink International Corporation, pooling more than ten years of experience in the development, manufacturing and marketing of high-end cooling components. Noctua packaged each set of installation accessories individually for excellent organization; along with the clear and concise setup poster, setup was a breeze. Compared to the Noctua NH-D14, the big daddy of all air coolers, it obvious did not keep up, nor did we expect it to. Rubber strips on the heatsink are now superseded by integrated rubber dampeners on the included NF-A15 PWM, used to reduce mechanical noise emissions during operation, as seen in our photo above.

Those heatpipes then go through the radiator to dissipate the heat into the surrounding environment. It still retains a low angle V-shaped slope towards the center, sort of like the NH-U12P, but includes bits of zigzag edges first seen in the NH-D14.
