Packaging
The Noctua NH-C14S is packed away in a very large and informative box. Each side of the box is loaded with specifications and features. The face of the box has a nice gold stamp of approval where Noctua points out that the Noctua NH-C14S design is based off the award winning NH-C14. On one side Noctua provides a small snippet of what the company has to say about the cooler in 9 different languages. The other side is loaded with the specifications of the CPU cooler. The detail even goes as far as having a small diagram of the dimensions of the heatsink and points out the 6 year warranty. On the back side of the box lists each and every feature of the Noctua NH-C14S.
