In the case of Intel kit I will need the parts on the photo, beginning with the black, metal back plate which has holes for the nuts behind the Intel socket, so alignment is not an issue. Some of the data that are collected include the number of visitors, their source, and the pages they visit anonymously.

What is unique about this cooler is the fact that regardless of where you install it (top or bottom) it will immensely provide air to all of the heat sensitive components around the CPU socket and especially the VRMs. SecuFirm2™ mounting system – Noctua’s SecuFirm2™ mounting systems have become synonymous with quality, safety and ease of use. This is perhaps unsurprising considering the size of the product, but with small form factor, every component choice has pros and cons – in this case (pun intended), a larger case may be needed to support the cooler. Some low-profile cards may fit underneath, however this precludes the use of the cooler in the low height mode with the fan underneath the fin array.

The case I'm using has about 70mm clearance IIRC, so I was looking at the Noctua NH-L9a, but I'll have to see if the other dimensions of the Reeven will work in that space. This new variation on the older NH-C14 appears to be no more than a minor update until you take a closer look. According to my review of the NH-L12, the vertical position was significantly better that the horizontal heatpipes. Accessories, leaflets with installation steps were all carefully packed and what you think when you unwrap them is if they were all packed from one person with white gloves – this is the level of attention that Noctua strives for.

NF-A14 140mm premium fan - Featuring sophisticated aerodynamic optimisations such as Flow Acceleration Channels, the NF-A14 is renowned to be among the best quiet 140mm fans on the market.Here we will look at a variety of 120 mm PWM push fans on the Noctua NH-D14 while using two different 140 mm PWM fans in the center.

NH-C14S allows mounting of the fan underneath the fin stack making the CPU cooler only 115mm high and ideal for many SFF and HTPC systems. The accessories and mounting hardware are in separate boxes while the heatsink and fan are in another.

An additional heat pipe is installed here, meaning that the lack of a second fan may not result in less performance. The fan it shipped with did have some PWM noise, but Cryorig's CS was helpful and sent a replacement (which is flawless so far) with minimal fuss.
