The Noctua NH-U14S is a high-performance CPU cooler designed for AMD Threadripper sTR5 and Epyc SP6 processors. It features six heatpipes and a 140mm fan that delivers excellent cooling efficiency while maintaining a quiet operation. This makes it ideal for use in noise-sensitive environments such as audio and video production studios or engineering workstations where minimal background noise is essential.
The cooler is specifically engineered to support the AMD SP6 socket for Epyc 8004 line server CPUs and the sTR5 socket for 7000 series Threadripper processors. It is compatible with TRX50 and WRX90 chipsets, including models like the 7995WX, 7985WX, 7980X, 7970X, and 7960X. The airflow path is designed to be perpendicular to the long axis of the socket, making it suitable for systems where the chassis exhaust fans are aligned in this direction.
The NF-A15 fan included with the cooler supports PWM for automatic speed control through the motherboard. This ensures that the fan runs silently at idle and ramps up to full performance when needed. The fan is known for its award-winning design and reliability, contributing to the overall quiet and efficient cooling performance of the NH-U14S.
Installation is straightforward, with a pre-applied NT-H2 thermal compound and an included mounting tool. This makes setup easier for users who may not have prior experience with high-end CPU coolers. The design emphasizes usability and ease of installation without compromising on performance or build quality.
The NH-U14S is well-suited for high-performance workstations and servers that require reliable cooling without generating excessive noise. It is particularly beneficial in environments where acoustic comfort is a priority. However, users should ensure their system case has adequate space to accommodate the 140mm fan and that the airflow direction aligns with the cooler's design.
