Currently, we do not see enough demand for an next-generation 140mm top-down cooler and have therefore put this project on hold for the meantime.

Translation:

At present, we haven't seen sufficient demand for the next-generation 140-millimeter top-down cooler, so this project has been put on hold for now.

Noctua has launched two generations of type C 140mm fan top-down air-cooled radiators, namely NH-C14 and NH-C14S.

These two products adopted a high-performance 140x25 specification fan while using a top-down structure, aiming to provide an elite choice for top-down air-cooling users.

The second-generation product NH-C14S is equipped with 6 heat pipes, with a height of 142mm in the standard mode and only 115mm in the fan-down mode.

TapTechNews found that Noctua had shown a prototype of the iterative version of NH-C14S at Computex Taipei 2018, with a height of 110mm and compatible with 50mm high memory modules.

It seems that this prototype product has now been shelved.
