Even with high-grade products and strict quality control, the
possibility of defects cannot be eliminated entirely. Therefore,
we aim at providing the highest possible level of dependability
and convenience by offering a warranty period of 72 months
and direct, fast and straightforward RMA service.
In case of warranty, you can either request RMA at your retailer
or use our Direct RMA Service. For further information, please
consult www.noctua.at. In order to process your RMA enquiry,
we need a proof of purchase, so please don’t forget to keep
your invoice!
Please also note that any modifications to the cooler, fan or
mounting parts will void your warranty.

Fan Setup
Step 5:
The NH-C14 can be used with both fans for maximum per-
formance or only one fan to allow for lower height or more
clearance:
Dual Fan
Mode
High Clearance
Mode
Low Profile
Mode
130mm
105mm
38mm
65mm
Ultra-Low-Noise Adapter
(U.L.N.A.), 750 RPM, 10.1 dB/A
Low-Noise Adapter (L.N.A.)
900 RPM, 13.2 dB/A
Please choose the appropriate configuration according to your
requirements. If you’re using only one fan, you can use the
supplied fan screws or silicone Vibration-Compensators to in-
stall the second fan inside your case.
We recommend using both fans blowing downwards onto the
mainboard in dual fan configuration in order to achieve opti-
mal CPU and component cooling.
In single fan configuration, we generally recommend installing
the fans so that they blow towards the fin-stack, but the fans
can be reversed in order to better align them with the air-
flow inside your case or to have more airflow over near-socket
mainboard components.
If you’d like to use 140mm fans with standard 140mm mount-
ings (124.5mm hole spacing), please contact our support team
at [email protected].
Connect the fan(s) to the mainboard, power supply or fan
controller. Use the supplied y-split cable to connect both fans
to one fan header. Depending on your CPU and the tempera-
ture inside the case, you may interconnect the supplied Low-
Noise Adapter (L.N.A.) or Ultra-Low-Noise Adapter (U.L.N.A.)
in order to further reduce the fan’s operating noise.
Caution: Please use one adaptor per fan when running two
fans with adaptors. Never use one adaptor for two fans by
putting it before the y-split cable.
Caution: When using the (U.)L.N.A., check the temperature
of your CPU using appropriate software (e.g. the respective
applications of your mainboard manufacturer), in order to
evade automatic throttling of the CPU due to the increased
temperature. If the cooling performance is insufficient, please
increase case ventilation or remove the (U.)L.N.A.
