00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:06,520
okay so today I have a pretty cool product from nocta actually there are

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:10,480
two new products from Noctua that I'm going to unbox this is one of them and

3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:15,719
the other one is here so you can check out the other video in probably a day or

4
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:17,520
two but this is the NH D14 this is their

5
00:00:15,719 --> 00:00:22,760
largest heat pipe cooler to date to give you some idea of the scale of this thing

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:26,760
here it is next to my head okay this is

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:28,760
a huge huge box so as you may or may not

8
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:37,000
have figured out based on the 14 in the name this cooler uses a 140 mm or 14 cm

9
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:41,960
fan so let's start getting this opened up we first have the accessory package

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,239
inside here now we've just gotten these in stock these were actually just

11
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:50,559
released very recently by no to us so let's see what we've got first of all we

12
00:00:48,559 --> 00:00:54,640
have a screwdriver okay so they include a screwdriver for you to mount whatever

13
00:00:52,039 --> 00:00:59,079
it is you need to mount then inside here we have a metal knock to a case badge

14
00:00:56,559 --> 00:01:06,720
very shiny very nice quality four fan screws we have two low noise adapters

15
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:11,000
and then two ultra low noise adapters we

16
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:13,680
have a tube of nth1 thermal compound and

17
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:18,400
we also have last but not least four of their rubber isolating fan mounts so

18
00:01:15,759 --> 00:01:23,200
four screws and four rubber fan mounts then we have and nocuous manuals are

19
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:26,079
exceptional always they've actually this oh this is cool okay so they got a

20
00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:30,159
little package here then there's the Intel side and the AMD side so it comes

21
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:35,720
with separate instructions depending in where you're going to mount it their manuals are always excellent and include

22
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:39,240
all of the steps it's all colorcoded very nice I really appreciate that when

23
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:46,159
I'm trying to mount something um okay then we have the AMD

24
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:47,840
mounting hardware and next is the Intel

25
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:52,680
mounting hardware now the way they've updated their new seu firm 2 mounting

26
00:01:50,719 --> 00:02:00,439
hardware is such that you can use it on LGA 775 1156 and 1366 without any sorts

27
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:08,080
of modifications or any anything like that now let's get down into the next

28
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:11,040
layer this is a box it is empty okay

29
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:18,200
actually it is full of another box which is here okay and

30
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:24,239
then down in the B oh there's more come out oh okay so there's nothing in there

31
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:29,360
this is just a box wow this is really well packed actually that's awesome cuz

32
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:33,560
uh there's I I can't see any conceivable way this thing could be damaged in

33
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:39,720
shipment it has like so much packing around it so uh that's another box okay

34
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:45,879
let's get to the actual cooler itself now finally now what I didn't tell you I

35
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:47,879
did say this was a 140 mm cooler but

36
00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:56,040
what I didn't tell you is that it is also a 120 mm cooler the NH D14 and I'm

37
00:02:53,280 --> 00:03:01,840
going to double check yeah D14 okay here is our nickel plated copper base with

38
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:05,640
six heat pipe cool coolers okay but this

39
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:07,680
is not only a 140 mil fan it is also a

40
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:14,319
120 mil fan cooler so you can see they've actually got two sandwiched heat

41
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,280
pipe Towers each with six heat pipes

42
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:20,480
because they're doing the u-shape at the bottom where it runs up through both and

43
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:25,720
then they've actually got a 120 mil fan on the one side and then a 140 mm fan in

44
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:30,000
the middle now I want to turn this around this way so you can see why they

45
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:36,000
made the design decision the way they did the 140 mm fan the way it's mounted

46
00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:41,680
here you can see it actually goes like way down close towards the motherboard

47
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:44,200
if they had actually used a 140 mm fan

48
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:49,200
on the other side then you would have had clearance problems potentially with

49
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:52,840
uh RAM or with the mosfet coolers or whatever else so they've made this

50
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:57,400
decision in order to maintain compatibility at a very high level now

51
00:03:55,079 --> 00:04:02,000
Noctua Engineers everything for silence everything they do from the little

52
00:03:59,079 --> 00:04:05,879
notches in the edges of the fan blades to the way that

53
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:09,799
they oh sorry I'm turning this around really fast to the way that they do the

54
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:13,480
ridges on the Leading Edge of the heat pipe coolers now one thing I'll talk

55
00:04:11,799 --> 00:04:17,120
about really quickly before I wrap this up I mean this thing is a monster here's

56
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:21,199
the here's the head shot for scale again this thing is huge and it's actually

57
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:27,680
quite heavy as well is I just want to talk a little bit about the uh the 14

58
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:31,360
140 mm fan 14 cm fan itself this is

59
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:33,759
compatible with both 12 12 CM or 120 mm

60
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:37,320
fan mounts or 140 mm fan mounts and you can buy it separately so thank you for

61
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:45,360
checking out my unboxing and product overview of the

62
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,360
Noctua I've gone and forgotten NH D14
