Noctua NH-U14S Heatsink Review @ Frostytech

I really like Noctua coolers which is saying a lot since I don't often consider "silent" heatsinks to be all that effective.  The benefit to Nocuta is that they are oversized to handle large amounts of heat and have very advanced fans to keep the air moving.

In this review Frostytech will be testing out Noctua's NH-U14S heatsink, a 170mm tall thermal solution built around six 6mm diameter heatpipes and featuring one 140x150mm fan called the NF-A15 PWM. The Noctua-branded NF-A15 fan features all kinds of fancy attributes designed to decrease noise, increase airflow, lengthen bearing life and cancel out errant vibrations. Given the pride Noctua have in their fans, Frostytech will be taking the extra step of testing the NH-U14S heatsink in stock and dual fan configurations, on 85W, 150W and 200W synthetic thermal test platforms.

I reviewed the Noctua NH-U14S not long ago and found it to work extremely well on the LGA 2011 and could even handle a 4.6Ghz overclock.
