Another excellent review, Hilbert.
I especially like the max voltage charts to help determine the max OC parameters that these coolers can handle.
A little hint for the people at Noctua who decide their color scheme.
Basic black goes with anything. Putting a silver or gold branding on the fan shroud is all you need for brand recognition.
After all, "Noctua" says it all.
I'm not the only person that passes on your rather ugly brown and tan colors.
After all the complaints about these colors not going with any major computer components, it appears as if you're ignoring your potential customers requests.
Not a very good thing in today's economy.

I think i'm the only one who doesn't mind the colors are all. It's nice that people instantly see "ah he spend money on some great case fans".

Not a bad alternative to the NH-D14 if looking for something a little smaller and cheaper. Good to see that my NH-D14 is still rock solid compared to new coolers.

The color scheme doesn't bother me either. Noctua makes some of the best coolers and fans I have ever used.

Nice review, finally one with a D14 in the graphs aswell.
Still need a cooler for my upcoming Haswell upgrade. I do want a D14, but it bothers me it comes with the old Fans. I could buy extra new ones but that's another 40 Euros extra.
I think i'm grabbing the U14S with an extra Fan for Push/Pull.
(I did e-mail Noctua in the weekend about the D14 with new Fans tho, havn't had a response yet. Expecting that today or tomorrow)
