00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:06.520
okay so today I have a pretty cool product from nocta actually there are

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

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

00:00:12.120 --> 00:00:17.520
two but this is the NH D14 this is their

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

00:00:19.720 --> 00:00:26.760
here it is next to my head okay this is

00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:28.760
a huge huge box so as you may or may not

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

00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:41.960
fan so let's start getting this opened up we first have the accessory package

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:46.239
inside here now we've just gotten these in stock these were actually just

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

00:00:48.559 --> 00:00:54.640
have a screwdriver okay so they include a screwdriver for you to mount whatever

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

00:00:56.559 --> 00:01:06.720
very shiny very nice quality four fan screws we have two low noise adapters

00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:11.000
and then two ultra low noise adapters we

00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:13.680
have a tube of nth1 thermal compound and

00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:18.400
we also have last but not least four of their rubber isolating fan mounts so

00:01:15.759 --> 00:01:23.200
four screws and four rubber fan mounts then we have and nocuous manuals are

00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:26.079
exceptional always they've actually this oh this is cool okay so they got a

00:01:24.479 --> 00:01:30.159
little package here then there's the Intel side and the AMD side so it comes

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

00:01:33.759 --> 00:01:39.240
all of the steps it's all colorcoded very nice I really appreciate that when

00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:46.159
I'm trying to mount something um okay then we have the AMD

00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.840
mounting hardware and next is the Intel

00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:52.680
mounting hardware now the way they've updated their new seu firm 2 mounting

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

00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:08.080
of modifications or any anything like that now let's get down into the next

00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:11.040
layer this is a box it is empty okay

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:18.200
actually it is full of another box which is here okay and

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

00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:29.360
this is just a box wow this is really well packed actually that's awesome cuz

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

00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:39.720
shipment it has like so much packing around it so uh that's another box okay

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

00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:47.879
did say this was a 140 mm cooler but

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

00:02:53.280 --> 00:03:01.840
going to double check yeah D14 okay here is our nickel plated copper base with

00:02:58.440 --> 00:03:05.640
six heat pipe cool coolers okay but this

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:07.680
is not only a 140 mil fan it is also a

00:03:05.640 --> 00:03:14.319
120 mil fan cooler so you can see they've actually got two sandwiched heat

00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:16.280
pipe Towers each with six heat pipes

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

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

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

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

00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:41.680
here you can see it actually goes like way down close towards the motherboard

00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:44.200
if they had actually used a 140 mm fan

00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:49.200
on the other side then you would have had clearance problems potentially with

00:03:46.640 --> 00:03:52.840
uh RAM or with the mosfet coolers or whatever else so they've made this

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:57.400
decision in order to maintain compatibility at a very high level now

00:03:55.079 --> 00:04:02.000
Noctua Engineers everything for silence everything they do from the little

00:03:59.079 --> 00:04:05.879
notches in the edges of the fan blades to the way that

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

00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:13.480
ridges on the Leading Edge of the heat pipe coolers now one thing I'll talk

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

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

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

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:31.360
140 mm fan 14 cm fan itself this is

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:33.759
compatible with both 12 12 CM or 120 mm

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

00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:45.360
checking out my unboxing and product overview of the

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:45.360
Noctua I've gone and forgotten NH D14
