  • The DH-14 is the nicest high performance cooler we've ever tested, and it's the LGA 2011 cooler we'd choose for ourselves out of all the options offered here. It doesn't perform quite as well as Corsair's H100 liquid cooler at maximum load, but this is...

  • Just from looking at the sheer size of the NH-D14 I was expecting a decrease in my CPU temperatures. I had no clue that the improvement would be so drastic. The numbers speak for themselves. With temperatures never rising over 34C under the heaviest lo...

  • The introduction to this review is quite a bit more cutting than you are probably used to here at OC3D, but we had to get it out there that we were very annoyed by NZXT's reaction to what was only ever honesty with the H2 Review.They stalled for so lon...

  • After running the NH-D14 through our series of performance tests we can safely say this high performance heatsink is a force to be reckoned with. The high weight and big size proves beneficiary for low noise computing, which the D14 is capable of out ...
