It’s been a while since we heard anything new from Noctua but they finally announced a new heatsink earlier this month. They call it the NH-D14, and if it’s anything like previous Noctua products, it’ll be awesome. This is the company’s first heatsink to use a 140mm fan (hence the D14 name), but they’ve gone so far as to pair it with an additional 120mm fan for a funky staggered design.
Here’s the info from their press release:
The NH-D14’s asymmetrical design gives more clearance towards the RAM slots and thus ensures good compatibility despite of the cooler’s size. Hanging out at the bottom of the fin-stacks, the NF-P14 fan doesn’t only contribute to the NH-D14’s superb CPU cooling capabilities but also provides massive airflow over surrounding motherboard components and heatsinks.
Topped off with a tube of Noctua’s award-winning NT-H1 thermal compound as well as the new SecuFirm2™ multi-socket mounting system (LGA1366, LGA1156, LGA775, AM2, AM2+ and AM3), the NH-D14 is an elite choice for the highest demands in premium quality quiet cooling.
The NH-14D is expected to hit the streets this month with an $85 price tag. It’s a high price but we’ve learned that when it comes to quiet running and exceptional build quality, you’re getting what you pay for when you buy a Noctua product.
