okay so today I have a pretty cool product from nocta actually there are
two new products from Noctua that I'm going to unbox this is one of them and
the other one is here so you can check out the other video in probably a day or
two but this is the NH D14 this is their
largest heat pipe cooler to date to give you some idea of the scale of this thing
here it is next to my head okay this is
a huge huge box so as you may or may not
have figured out based on the 14 in the name this cooler uses a 140 mm or 14 cm
fan so let's start getting this opened up we first have the accessory package
inside here now we've just gotten these in stock these were actually just
released very recently by no to us so let's see what we've got first of all we
have a screwdriver okay so they include a screwdriver for you to mount whatever
it is you need to mount then inside here we have a metal knock to a case badge
very shiny very nice quality four fan screws we have two low noise adapters
and then two ultra low noise adapters we
have a tube of nth1 thermal compound and
we also have last but not least four of their rubber isolating fan mounts so
four screws and four rubber fan mounts then we have and nocuous manuals are
exceptional always they've actually this oh this is cool okay so they got a
little package here then there's the Intel side and the AMD side so it comes
with separate instructions depending in where you're going to mount it their manuals are always excellent and include
all of the steps it's all colorcoded very nice I really appreciate that when
I'm trying to mount something um okay then we have the AMD
mounting hardware and next is the Intel
mounting hardware now the way they've updated their new seu firm 2 mounting
hardware is such that you can use it on LGA 775 1156 and 1366 without any sorts
of modifications or any anything like that now let's get down into the next
layer this is a box it is empty okay
actually it is full of another box which is here okay and
then down in the B oh there's more come out oh okay so there's nothing in there
this is just a box wow this is really well packed actually that's awesome cuz
uh there's I I can't see any conceivable way this thing could be damaged in
shipment it has like so much packing around it so uh that's another box okay
let's get to the actual cooler itself now finally now what I didn't tell you I
did say this was a 140 mm cooler but
what I didn't tell you is that it is also a 120 mm cooler the NH D14 and I'm
going to double check yeah D14 okay here is our nickel plated copper base with
six heat pipe cool coolers okay but this
is not only a 140 mil fan it is also a
120 mil fan cooler so you can see they've actually got two sandwiched heat
pipe Towers each with six heat pipes
because they're doing the u-shape at the bottom where it runs up through both and
then they've actually got a 120 mil fan on the one side and then a 140 mm fan in
the middle now I want to turn this around this way so you can see why they
made the design decision the way they did the 140 mm fan the way it's mounted
here you can see it actually goes like way down close towards the motherboard
if they had actually used a 140 mm fan
on the other side then you would have had clearance problems potentially with
uh RAM or with the mosfet coolers or whatever else so they've made this
decision in order to maintain compatibility at a very high level now
Noctua Engineers everything for silence everything they do from the little
notches in the edges of the fan blades to the way that
they oh sorry I'm turning this around really fast to the way that they do the
ridges on the Leading Edge of the heat pipe coolers now one thing I'll talk
about really quickly before I wrap this up I mean this thing is a monster here's
the here's the head shot for scale again this thing is huge and it's actually
quite heavy as well is I just want to talk a little bit about the uh the 14
140 mm fan 14 cm fan itself this is
compatible with both 12 12 CM or 120 mm
fan mounts or 140 mm fan mounts and you can buy it separately so thank you for
checking out my unboxing and product overview of the
Noctua I've gone and forgotten NH D14
