"The Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 serves a very specific purpose – to cool Sandy Bridge-E chips as silently as possible. At this, it does a fantastic job. Even in dual fan mode, it never spun up loud enough to be heard in our tests. If you were not overclocking, you could easily use single fan, silent mode, and I can just about guarantee that you will never hear it when it is operating in that mode."
