TL;DR: Noctua has made another version of the D15 (D15S) that has much better compatibility. The C14S is an improved version of the C14, the C14S is a top flow style cooler, while the D15S is a dual tower cooler.

Both of these coolers don't overhang any PCIe slots!

Noctua today announced two new additions to its portfolio of premium-quality, quiet CPU coolers with 140mm fans. Whereas the NH-D15S is a high-compatibility single fan version of the elite-class dual tower model NH-D15, the NH-C14S replaces the proven top-flow cooler NH-C14. Both the NH-D15S and NH-C14S feature an asymmetrical layout in order to avoid blocking the top PCIe slot.

"140mm coolers have become the default choice for enthusiasts who seek superior cooling performance for overclocking or near-silent operation, but these tend to block the top PCIe slot on many current motherboards" says Mag. Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). "With the NH-D15S and NH-C14S, we've updated our successful 140mm dual tower and top-flow coolers with asymmetrical layouts that ensure the best PCIe compatibility."

 

NH-D15S Tailored to provide superior RAM and PCIe compatibility, the NH-D15S is an asymmetrical single fan version of Noctua’s award-winning flagship model, the NH-D15. Thanks to its asymmetrical design, the NH-D15S clears the top PCIe slot on most µATX and ATX motherboards. At the same time, the single NF-A15 PWM fan setup and recessed lower fins guarantee 100% RAM compatibility with memory modules of up to 65mm height. Users who have sufficient room can also upgrade the cooler with either a 120mm or round 140mm fan on the front fin stack for further improved performance in dual fan mode.

 

NH-C14S: Successor to 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. Thanks to its deeper fin stack and the renowned NF-A14 PWM fan, the single fan NH-C14S provides similar quiet cooling performance to its dual fan predecessor while being even more versatile: With the fan installed on top of the fins, the cooler is compatible with RAM modules of up to 70mm height. With the fan installed underneath the fins, the total height of the cooler is only 115mm, making it suitable for use in many HTPC cases. At the same time, the new offset layout allows it to clear the top PCIe slot on most µATX and ATX motherboards.

 

Both the NH-D15S and the NH-C14S come with Noctua’s trusted, pro-grade SecuFirm2™ multi-socket mounting system, the company’s proven NT-H1 thermal compound, Low-Noise Adaptors and full 6 years’ manufacturer’s warranty.

 

Prices and availability

The NH-C14S is currently shipping and will be available shortly. The NH-D15S will ship in June. The manufacturer’s suggested retail prices are as follows:

NH-C14S: EUR 74.90 / USD 74.90

NH-D15S: EUR 79.90 / USD 79.90

Noctua is bae

[HeathCliff]

With that kind of clearance, I'm pretty sure you can probably fit a kit of DomPlats.

[UnlimitedTMD]

damn they`re so gooood, yet soooo expensive :`(

They're expensive, but they're worth every penny.

I own a NH-U14s, 3 NF-S12a PWM's and 2 NF-A14's

[dragosudeki]

If only they had the "Now in plain black" edition.

[Arcanekitten]

those prices are to shit

[UltraNeonGaming]

If only they had the "Now in plain black" edition.

The fan or the heatsink?

[OfficialJsP]

Noctua is bae

 

noctua is poop?

[AxelRantila]

damn they`re so gooood, yet soooo expensive :`(

But they are certainly worth it. I have an NH-D15 and I've been super-happy with it. Easy to mount, even as a first-time system builder

[aduman]

I just want the black versions of the base fans. (NF-F12/S12/A14) Not them industrial stuff.

[Cactu]

noctua is poop?

Nah man noctua is sweg

I`m afraid that they are too expensive to what you`re getting, I probably going with everlasting Hyper212 EVO

[Notional]

M-mmm those poop and prosthetic leg colours, but looks very shiny. I do wonder, why we won't see them coloured black (both fan and heatsink.

[UnlimitedTMD]

I`m probably not able to spend that amount of money for a cooler, hyper212 EVo ftw

[UltraNeonGaming]

They aren't for everyone, but I really love what Noctua does

I do get it, but the price is just wayyyy to high

[Trik'Stari]

That 140mm fan with 120mm mounts absolutely SUCKS. Mine makes a constant whining noise, ended up having to throw it out because of that.

And, uh, Rampage IV and V Extreme eATX motherboards to name two. Was a massive problem on the D15 that quite a few high performance motherboards' first PCIe slot is x16 and so was rendered unusable.

 

Ossum that this has been addressed

[SurvivorNVL]

I think I am one of the few people who actually like the stock Noctua colors.

Which cooler is this about?

It has

Trik uses the NH-U14S

I got the single tower cooler, that came with the 140mm fan that has 120mm mounts. The cooler worked great, but the fan that came with it just made this terribly annoying whining noise.

 

Trik uses the NH-U14S

 

Actually, I switched back to my Corsair H110. Looks cleaner.

I like them too!
