Single-Tower 140 mm Air Cooler

The NH-U14S is a premium single-tower CPU cooler built around a 140 mm NF-A15 fan. It targets enthusiasts who want strong thermal performance with low noise and full RAM clearance on mainstream desktop sockets.

165 mm Height Limit

At 165 mm tall the cooler fits most mid-tower cases, but it will not suit compact chassis with tighter CPU-cooler clearances. The 52 mm slim fin stack keeps the first RAM slot free on AM5, AM4 and LGA2011/LGA2066 platforms.

Six Heatpipes and 1500 RPM Ceiling

Six copper heatpipes and a 1500 RPM PWM fan deliver 82.52 CFM airflow for high-end Intel Core Ultra and AMD Ryzen 9950X-class processors. The 300 RPM minimum and 19.2 dBA low-noise mode keep acoustics minimal at idle, while the 1200 RPM low-noise adaptor caps output at 67.98 CFM for quieter sustained loads.

Questions about this item

Which NH-U14S version should I pick for a compact case with tall RAM?

The single NH-U14S model has a 52 mm slim heatsink that does not overhang RAM slots on AM5 and AM4 boards, and its 165 mm height fits most mid-tower cases.

What does the 24.6 dBA noise rating mean when the cooler is running inside my PC?

At the standard 1500 RPM fan speed the cooler produces 24.6 dBA; fitting the supplied Low-Noise Adaptor drops speed to 1200 RPM and noise to 19.2 dBA while still moving 67.98 CFM.

How does the PWM fan interface control speeds in practice?

The NF-A15 140 mm fan uses 4-pin PWM, allowing the motherboard to vary speed between 300 RPM and 1500 RPM automatically based on CPU temperature.
