Build Quality
Despite being larger than the U12S, the U14S was just as easy to install and uses the same Intel mounting bracket. The build quality on our review sample was perfect – the fins were all evenly spaced and it was unblemished (until be put our finger prints on the top of it). Unlike the NH-D14 and NH-L12, the secuFirm2 mounting system now uses a different backplate with the NH-U12S and NH-U14S for Intel CPUs but is just as solid as the previous version. We weren’t worried at any point about over tightening due to the mounting system.
