[ziad ahmed]

Hi , I'm having an urgent issue here choosing my next cooler with the I5 13600K.
I'm Comparing between the "Noctua U14S" and "Silverstone Hydrogon D120".
All settings will be on default but the XMP of course, the MOBO will be the MSI PRO B760-P WIFI.
would you guys help me please!!

Absent a controlled test, I would pick the Noctua NH-U14s.
It uses a 140mm fan vs. 120mm which will push more air quietly through the cooling fins.

I did some research for you:

Well, despite the 120 in the name, the fans are actually 135mm, and that is good.
But, I found a review, and the cooler needs to run the fans up to high rpm to get maximum cooling.

It does not include the NH-U14s. But it does include the NH-U12s which is a lesser cooler(nspr 129) which seems to be comparable.
With a 13600K I would get a better cooler.
Noctua maintains a suitability list for different processors.
Here is the list for the 13600K:

The U12s is just so so ok.
The NH-U14s(nspr 162) is considerably better and suitable.
