Dear customer,

Congratulations on choosing the Noctua NH-C14S. Succeeding

the award-winning NH-C14, the NH-C14S is an elite class

top-flow CPU cooler that is extremely efficient, highly

compatible and remarkably adjustable – a top-flow solution for

the highest demands.

Enjoy your NH-C14S!

Yours sincerely,

Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO

This manual will guide you through the installation process of the

SecuFirm2™ mounting system step by step.

Prior to installing the cooler, please consult the compatibility list

on our website (www.noctua.at/compatibility) and verify that

the cooler is fully compatible with your motherboard.

Should you encounter any difficulties, please check the FAQs on

our website (www.noctua.at/faqs) and don’t hesitate to contact

our support team at support@noctua.at.

Noctua cannot be held responsible for any damage or losses

caused by compatibility issues.

Removing the mainboard

In case you want to use the cooler on an assembled system and

your case doesn’t have a cut-out at the rear side of the mainboard

tray, you first have to remove the mainboard from the case in

order to be able to install the supplied backplate.

Step 1

2x NM-IMB2 Mounting Bars1x NM-IBP2 Backplate

4x NM-ITS1 Thumbscrews4x NM-IPS1 Spacers

Place the backplate on the rear side of the mainboard so that the

bolts stick through the mounting holes.

Caution: Please make sure that the three cut-outs in the

supplied backplate align with the screws of the mainboard’s stock

backplate.

Installing the mounting bars

Caution: Choose the alignment of the mounting bars according to

the desired final orientation of the cooler:

Step 3

First put the plastic spacers onto the bolts of the backplate, then

add the mounting bars.

Attaching the backplate

Caution: The supplied backplate will install over the mainboard’s

stock backplate, so the mainboard’s stock backplate must not be

taken off.

Step 2

Caution: Make sure that the curved sides of the mounting bars are

pointing outwards.

Fix the mounting bars using the 4 thumb screws.

Caution: Gently tighten the screws until they stop, but don’t use

excessive force.

Applying thermal paste

If there are residual traces of thermal paste or thermal pads on

your CPU, please clean them off first. Then press a small drop

(4-5mm diameter) of NT-H1 onto the centre of the heatspreader.

Fan Setup

Step 7

Connect the fan to the mainboard’s CPU fan header.

Depending on your CPU and the temperature inside the case, you

may interconnect the supplied NA-RC7 Low-Noise Adapter (L.N.A.)

in order to further reduce the fan’s operating noise.

Caution: When using the L.N.A., check the temperature of your

CPU using appropriate software (e.g. the respective applications

of your mainboard manufacturer), in order to evade automatic

throttling of the CPU due to the increased temperature. If the cooling

performance is insufficient, please increase case ventilation or

remove the L.N.A.

Even with high-grade products and strict quality control, the

possibility of defects cannot be eliminated entirely. Therefore,

we aim at providing the highest possible level of reliability and

convenience by offering a warranty period of 6 years and direct,

fast and straightforward RMA service.

Should you encounter any problems with your NH-C14S, please

don’t hesitate to contact our support team (support@noctua.at).

Warranty, Support and FAQs

Adding a second fan

The NH-C14S includes an extra set of fan clips for installing a

second NF-A14 fan in push/pull mode in order to further improve

cooling performance.

The y-cable supplied with the retail NF-A14 PWM fan can be used

to control the speed of both fans via the same mainboard fan

header.

For best performance to noise efficiency in dual fan mode, Noctua

recommends to run the top fan at 1200rpm or lower (using the

supplied Low-Noise Adaptor).

Fan Configuration

The NH-C14S ships with the fan installed underneath the fins (low

profile mode). Alternatively, you can take off the fan and install it on

top of the fins to make more room for tall RAM or other components

(high clearance mode). Note that the NH-C14S will provide best

performance to noise efficiency in high clearance mode.

You may also add a second NF-A14 fan (optional) using the suplied

extra set of fan clips in order to create a dual fan configuration for

further improved performance.

Step 5

Caution: Tighten the screws until they stop.

Dual Fan Mode (optional)

Low Profile Mode

High Clearance Mode

Fastening the heatsink to the CPU

Caution: Please first take off the protection cover at the bottom

side of the heatsink.

Then put the heatsink onto the CPU and screw it to the screw

threads of the mounting bars. Note that you can reach through

the blades of the fan(s) using the supplied screw driver. There is

thus no need to take off the fan(s) for installation.

Step 6

Caution: Applying too much thermal paste will lower heat

conductivity and cooling performance!
