Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 Fan Transplantation

[AliceSML79]

I’m looking at the Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 to cool a Threadripper 16c/32t CPU. I’m limited in my case to a single 120mm back panel cutout so a aio wouldn’t work. Reason for that is the tridentz ram and a h80i wouldn’t fit. So I’m chosen the up coming Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 Cooler. But the hideous brown fans totally kills the Black and Nvidia Green Color Scheme. So I was looking at the NF-A14 industrialPPC PWM Fans as a upgrade. I think they will fit but not 100%, so thought I’d ask others opinions. I know a aio 360mm is best to go with threadripper but I’d like to use my old case for centmental reasons. But it was made in 2010.

Could we see internals?

Sure, didn’t want to overshadow the question. But here are pics of internals. 2 bottom fans are 180mm.

Thats a pretty cool and intresting case. And i know its hard to get rid of a good case  But you could always paint the fans in a other color. I did as well with the NF-F12 fans, both painted in black. Which wasn't even needed, as you cant even see them in the top with the radiator.

 

And the NF-A14 industrialPPC PWM fans are fine as well. Perhaps setup a low fan profile if their too loud. Which i doubt they will.

Sadly after adding up the cost to mod the case to the point of it working well it’s way cheaper to buy a new case. My case was built in 2010 and I haven’t thought of that fact till last night

Liquid Master 120 or 240 is good liquid cooler that does not have a massive head but does have a nice square copper plate.
Won't block the memory slot either.
