Noctua NH-U12S TR4-SP3 or NH-U14S TR4-SP3

Hello, does using the NH-U14S TR4-SP3 improve the cooling of the Threadripper a lot compared with using the NH-U12S TR4-SP3? How is the noise level? The larger one sometimes block the GPU when using the Asus Zeith Extreme.

Both are dead silent. The U14 will provide slightly better cooling since it has a larger surface area of fins.

So, either one will be fine even I don’t turn off the machine for months?

Yes, either one.
