Noctua NH-D14 CPU Cooler Review

"First off, I’d like to say wow! This cooler isn’t just another larger than life cooler, it gets in there and handles its business. I even got to play around with this cooler on my current i5 rig, and I am even more pleased than what the testing in the T.E.C.C. testing shows. I like to push my hardware until it screams for mercy, and up to now I have been somewhat limited by air only cooling. While the V10 did alright, for a TEC powered cooler it really isn’t worth a degree for the price they ask for it. The Hammer was ok with dual fans too, but there was a saturation point where I couldn’t clock any further. With the NH-D14, I have done some silly things already. The major accomplishment I saw so far was that I was able to load my processor in Prime95 testing at 1.5 volts to the CPU, and to my surprise I never saw RealTemp hit 60 degrees. Now that is efficiency!"
