WEBVTT

00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:07.640
okay so I'm having a look at another nocta cooler the reason that I'm looking at both of these is they both launched

00:00:05.799 --> 00:00:12.040
fairly close together and the reason for that is that nocta just launched their

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:17.480
140 mil fan so this is an updated version of the NH c12p and it is the

00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:24.039
se14 which as you may or may not have guessed stands for special edition 14 cm

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:30.240
fan okay so there you go so let's get this open this is not a tower heat sink

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:34.960
this is actually a more traditional uh blowing down style of heat sink and the

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:40.160
reason for that is not everybody has room in their case for these giant Tower

00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:44.879
heat sinks that go out of the side of your motherboard I mean the one that we

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:49.600
unboxed recently the the D14 is just huge and you don't always have space for

00:00:47.239 --> 00:00:55.120
that you don't always have clearance so a more top down design is good for that

00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:58.680
and it's also good if you need more cooling for the surrounding components

00:00:57.120 --> 00:01:02.760
around your motherboard because the fan will actually contribute to mosfet

00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:06.880
cooling as well as RAM cooling all that other stuff the tradeoff is that it

00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:10.840
doesn't cool the CPU quite as well which many people are happy to make so let's

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:15.560
dive into the accessories here first we have a metal noock case badge very

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:21.119
classy very stylish then we have their low noise and ultra low noise adapters

00:01:18.759 --> 00:01:25.840
so 7 and 5 volts basically then we have a couple of fan clips and a tube of

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:31.479
their nt1 thermal compound which you will need to spread on the CPU then we

00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:36.560
have the AMD mounting hardware okay so their SKU firm mounting system includes

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:40.040
both AMD and Intel this Intel mounting hardware you can see by all the

00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:46.079
different mounting holes here is actually good for 775 1156 and 1366 it

00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:50.119
uses all thumb screws and stuff very nice I love to see that and then they've

00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:53.719
done their classy little manual thing here where you open it up and you got

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:57.759
the Intel instructions in one side and the AMD structions instruct AMD

00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:02.039
structions AMD instructions in the other side very cool it's all colorcoded I

00:01:59.399 --> 00:02:05.840
should probably just do a quick uh show that really quickly here so they show

00:02:03.520 --> 00:02:09.479
you all the different steps and colors should be quite simple to install like

00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:17.080
all of their coolers have been in the past okay so let's get down to the c12p

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:19.720
se14 here if I can figure out how to get

00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:27.400
the Box open then that will be a major stride for me okay so it actually

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:30.760
ships okay with you able to see the 140

00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:32.959
mm fan through the front now this 140 mm

00:02:30.760 --> 00:02:37.640
fan is a pretty new product for Noctua unlike all of the other 140 mil fans on

00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:42.599
the market it uses a circular frame and the reason they've done that is because

00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:45.159
it actually has 120 mm mounting holes

00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:49.200
now if you buy the uh the fan Standalone you can actually get 140 mm adapters but

00:02:47.720 --> 00:02:54.159
it's pretty cool that they allow you to mount a larger fan on a smaller uh

00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:57.760
mounting hole okay they ship it with a little piece of plastic I like attention

00:02:55.720 --> 00:03:01.239
to detail like this I love to see this between the fins and the fan so that

00:02:59.480 --> 00:03:06.239
nothing get scratched you don't get any plastic junk uh residue coming off on

00:03:04.040 --> 00:03:10.480
your fins keeps it nice and pristine looking so let's have a look at the

00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:12.560
cooler itself you've got okay a nickel

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:17.720
plated copper base which will do the uh the obligatory finger shot to show the

00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:23.080
uh the shininess now it's not particularly reflective but Noctua takes

00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:28.560
great pride in how flat their bases is their bases are all your base something

00:03:25.959 --> 00:03:33.239
either way reflectiveness is not necessarily an indication of flatness so

00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:38.720
we have six heat pipes coming into the bottom here which are all oriented to

00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:40.519
come up into their sort of radiator

00:03:38.720 --> 00:03:44.480
array here now I'm not sure why they've made this design decision where they're

00:03:42.640 --> 00:03:47.680
leaving out some of the fins here but I'm sure there's a very good reason for

00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:51.159
it and I just want to give you a couple more angles here before we wrap up our

00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:54.840
unboxing so you can see the noct to a branding there oh I see why they've done

00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:59.120
it because these ones are connected directly to the base I'm sorry I totally

00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:04.720
missed that wow blonde moment there okay so thank you for checking out my

00:04:00.519 --> 00:04:08.720
unboxing and product overview of the NH

00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:08.720
