H40 and the rest of H series ARE NOT WATERCOOLING and besides only the H100 can come close to the noctua coolers.

You mean they are not a dedicated water cooling loop. But you obviously know they are water coolers. There is no point to try an argue. The H40, H60, H80, and H100 are all water coolers. The biggest difference between H40 and the rest are is it uses a aluminum base and not copper.

The NH-D14 is a better cooler than the H40, H60 and H80 and it offers roughly the same cooling as a H100

This is true. But still, they are watercooling and can make a rig look a little neater and quieter in some scenarios.

But it's not about what does the job is it, the D-14 offers equivalent temps to much more expensive water cooling options

A lot of coolers can perform near to the standards of the 'D14, but they all require small hurricanes to do so.
The Noctua can do it in near silence.
I have my NH-D14 set to 5v, and my 4.5GHz 3770k never gets above 77*C whilst folding 24/7 - and that's in the nice weather that the UK has been getting of late.

See I just don't get the point , if I can run the smaller Noctua with one fan on low revs 100% cpu at 60c all cores why do people bother with D-14 or water cooling ?
Suppose if your into crazy overclocks , but not worth the bother 24/7 to run any games or software as 4 is all you need to run anything .

What specs are you running?

Seriously, a single fan up12 keeps your cpu at 60 degrees @4.4ghz?
My 3770k is around 75-80 under load with my D14 at 4.5ghz...
That's with dual fans too

Still impressive - my fans wont cool it that well even when at 12v

Ivy runs cooler up till about 4.5/4.6ghz - at which point Sandy starts to win on temps.
Ivy is better at the clock speeds you're likely to be running at anyway, so it isnt really a problem.
Can you prove 60 degree 4.4ghz? Do you have screenshots?
